Cloverfield felt slow to get started but by the end I understood the necessary set-up in the beginning. For all the SassAFrasser’s out there who didn’t ‘get’ it I suggest you find peace within yourself first, adopt an animal (instead of killing them) and then go see it again.
You’ll like it. It’s a GREAT MOVIE. And, the message at the end is totally awesome and mysterious.
JJ Abrams has proven yet again that he can stay one step ahead of the audience rather than dumb them down like most films regardless of the genre.
LOST is a great show..but again it requires a patient intelligence to sit through it’s paced revealing of information. It’s not for everyone.
The only problem is in order to decode that message you had to record it in the theater and play it backward. Hmmm….not a good message to moviegoers, but hey, it’s still cool.

I did not like this movie. I kept feeling like I was watching a REALLY horrible episode of Felicity. There was no arch in the storyline, there was no emotion from the characters (even Beth & Rob who we are SUPPOSED to care about). By the end, I could have cared less and was actually rooting for the demise of the city.
Just incredibly amateur. I was disapointed, but hey, I couldn’t have expected much from the creator of Lost, the most anti-climatic show on television.
Spend more money on a decent script and less on a viral marketing campaign. You need more than a revel of the “monster” to capture this movie-goers attention.

Okay, that’s both creepy and cool. Sorry about all the screaming BTW.
