Staypuft! Starts off dull, gets interesing and a bit scary, then goes dull again. Luckily it's quite short.

Once in a great while, a film will grab me, shake me, surprise me and not allow me to forget it. "Cloverfield" is one of the movie experiences you don't forget. There's something very human about it - the filming technique, the characters, and the quick glimpses of terror. Extraordinarily clever marketing aside, the filmmakers actually deliver a product better than anything a preview could tease us with. I loved this movie, it's an easy early choice for one of the best films of the new year.

Concept is completely 100% original. I waited so long to see this movie and I saw it 6 times in theaters, absolutely fantastic.

One of the few times where months and months of ridiculous expectations are--for the most part--met. Action-packed and one hell of a roller coaster ride. Unfortunate that the audience I saw the film with booed the ending. Don't believe the hype, this is the real deal. Also, pay particular attention to one of the final scenes and stay after the credits...

You don't see the very unique monster a lot (except for that moment at the end) and there's no way of killing it. After you see it the first time, there's really no point in seeing it again.

Very creative!

It's exciting and has some good ideas, but I felt like something was missing.

Besides the main character going back into the city for some inexplicable reason, I found this to be a pretty good little film. It did what Paranormal Activity should've done: Presented a horror/suspenseful film with some subtleties.

very good and interesting idea, except the shaking camera. i wait the sequel

Excellent updated modern big monster attack premise marred by a horrendous supporting cast of actors who prattle away, do stupid things, and make stupid comments. These are the sort of annoying cliched characters that you see in every mainstream horror film and unfortunately their presence does take you out of it. The monster effects were all decent enough but nothing truly amazing. Most of it was high budget CGI masked behind the handheld cam gimmick.

Surprisingly good. I didn't like the plot they had going on, but other than that it was just a bunch of fun. And I think the character POV worked pretty well, much more so than that scene from Doom (to say the least). A little better than your average popcorn flick, and I'm glad that it brought monster movies back in a good way. And "Roar!" by Michael Ginoccio that played a minute into the credits is AMAZING.

good concept to musshy needed more gore

Eh...

Bone-chilling in a way that overcomes some rather poor acting, but left me with nightmares.

Enjoyable popcorn fare. Gots the style.

Great concept, a bit too shaky though

I love a good monster movie even if it is more about character relationships than the actual monster.

Pretty good monster flick. I could have personally dealt with a little less shaking of the camera, but unfortunately for me, that point of view was what made the movie a little more interesting.

Stupid and dull. Watch [Rec] instead.

As great as it possibly could be. Is it the greatest thing ever? No. Does it accomplish its intent in the best possible way? Yes. 80 minutes of gripping intensity. Great job. Michael Giachianno's "Overture form Cloverfield" over the credits is fucking incredible also.

The movie is smart enough to focus heavily on the characters instead of the monster, is believable despite the sometimes stupid choices the characters make.

A fun popcorn flick. It could have been more worthwhile if the dialogue and acting wasn't so awful and the characters weren't so painfully thin, but those aspects are simply much more apparent with a movie that is filmed in a realistic manner. In fact, at times the visuals were almost eerily practical. Other times, not so much. That said, I think this movie would be incredibly enjoyable in, say, IMAX format.

kinda dumb but good

Has some VERY good ingredients, but messes up so bad. Could have been an awesome movie, but ends up not too bad.

A well made film with a good gimmick but fails to provide any sort of interesting ideas outside it's shakey cam premise.

It's an interesting take on the monster movie, certainly: the handheld camera effect works well to humanise the characters, but they're not really anything more than lacklustre archetypes, and as such you don't really feel for them as anything more than monster fodder. However, the balance between impressive CGI and the shaky camerawork is an odd effect that's hard to shake off. Not as great as everyone says, but worth a watch at the cinema.

Parts of the movie were "jump out at you" scary, but others were just suspenseful. The shaky-cam shots were sometimes headache-inducing, but it was well worth it to see this movie in theaters-- you just can't get the same feeling on the small screen. I'd also like to mention that the overture was really well written, very fitting for this movie.

Such an intense ride, and so effectively filmed. A couple of bumps here and there, along with some bland characters, but when this film gets it right, it knocks it out of the fucking park.
