Cloverfield: Overhyped or Awesome?
 

So, for those who've seen Cloverfield, did it live up to it's hype, or was it a movie version of Halo 3?

it was deffinitly overhyped. however, it was still an amazing movie. it had some downfalls. but still. I loved it

Re: Cloverfield: Overhyped or Awesome?
 

I didn't read anything about the movie. I just watched the trailer and thought it looked awesome. And it was. The ending was kind of shit though I reckon.

I also didn't read anything about it. Just watched the trailer then saw and I reckon it was pretty awesome.

Re: Cloverfield: Overhyped or Awesome?
 

that movie was amazing even though it doesnt explain anything (it wasnt suppose to) my one biggest question is why is it called cloverfield?

Re: Cloverfield: Overhyped or Awesome?
 

cloverfield was the military name for the case

Re: Cloverfield: Overhyped or Awesome?
 

Correct, its case designate is "Project Cloverfield" like "The Manhattan Project".

Re: Cloverfield: Overhyped or Awesome?
 

Overhyped, I don't like the trailers I saw

Re: Cloverfield: Overhyped or Awesome?
 

I haven't seen it yet, but my friends tell me it's great.

Re: Cloverfield: Overhyped or Awesome?
 

Can I get a quick plot description of the movie?

From the previews it looks like a Godzilla movie, or at least that's what my older bro and I thought. Seems like you guys are telling a different story...

i saw it the other day with a couple ppl. it was ok, but we all had motion sickness. and the ending blows

Re: Cloverfield: Overhyped or Awesome?
 

I think it was overhyped, even though for whatever reason I managed to dodge it all.

Don't get me wrong, I think it was very good. The whole "camcorder" thing didn't live up to its potential I don't think. It was clever that the incident was "taped over" a couple's day at Coney Island, and that yielded interesting things, but so much more could have been done with it. Of course, we're talking about a monster movie, which can't really be that deep anyway. Christopher Nolan (Memento, The Prestige) should do a movie with such a mechanic, perhaps...

In any case, I thought it was an extremely solid, thrill ride of a monster movie.
