First post :) BEST REVIEW EVER, this has to be my favorite review by you, transformers close second, anyway everything you say in this video is true. The movie sucked big time, im so glad you took neither side, you just pointed out that its a headache meets blair witch and cgi. IT WAS JUST OK! lol

As much as I love your review, I just keep thinking that you need to borrow the DVD and watch the special features. They really help you appreciate it. The effects are so seamless in places, there are parts where you might think it's just a street in NY but it's greenscreen.

I love it anyway, but the features help.

And, since I have to run anyway...
...anybody who expected a special famous monster is a fool! Hahaha! (ducks)

The ending part was funny :D

I liked that guy, he was so cooooool.

lol "I remember it because its... adequate."

lol a party where only the most beautiful people in New york could show up. That did bother me how everyone was a little to pretty.. you know for average people.

And thus, the Bum Reviews voice was born.

I kind of liked that movie. To be fair, it was innovative. It was a monster movie, but what monster movie before puts you right into the first-person perspective of an unsuspecting citizen of the city being terrorized? The position of the guy whose head-over-heels for some moody broad and he sees her get attacked by little monsters and then they get away and he thinks she's OK but they find a military safehouse and everyone starts rushing around all of the sudden she's pulled behind a screen and she explodes and he never sees her again! I guess that was a bit of a run-on sentence but I got caught up in the moment and started imagining myself ranting my own words in your bum reviewer voice and... oooh, I can't stay mad at you! I may think more highly of this movie but you're just a barrel of laughs! And at least you gave it some credit.

I actually like this movie. I also saw it after you had already posted this review.

Anyways its like you said if you like monster movies you will like this movie, and I like monster movies.

All that's missing is him asking for change, and BOOM! You've got yourself an origin

Yeah I was so siked to see it after all the hype over the trailers, the sites, blah blah blah, and I was sooo dissapointed, it was in fact an "OK" of a movie I mean they leave it open enough for the sequal but I dunno if I wanna see another movie within a movie again.

You clearly haven't seen many movies...

Lol, this is great

I don't care about what anybody says,this movie was.....ok.

even though I love this movie ever so much and J.J.Abrahms brain washed me so bad I spent months looking up the backstory got into and even bought a shirt for cloverfield.. the nostalgia crtic could do no wrong.. he could talk shit about nightmare before christmas and I would still melt in his pressence... oh the beauty of it all ( expecting a restrainging order anyday now )

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

monsterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

hot peps at partyyyyyyyyyy

I don't know about you guys, but I thought Cloverfield was pretty darn good. Maybe not grade A quality film-making, but definitely good.
This is one of those movies you can't truly appreciate until you've seen the filming process behind it, in other words the "making of" documentary. The fact that almost everything you saw in the movie was almost entirely first take, and the entire thing was literally filmed with one of the actors holding the camera the entire time.

So, yeah, the actual movie was as you put it "adequate" but it doesn't mean it wasn't darn inventive.

just a monster >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

Its like if Chester A Bum starred in Cloverfield

Is it just me or does the monster kinda look like Sin from Final Fantasy X

I'm gonna have to disagree with you there, I actually thought Cloverfield was great. It had its flaws (i.e. the monster was underwhelming), but overall I thoroughly enjoyed it. Oh well, everyone has opinions. 8)

debut of bum voice COOL

Well yes it wasn't a famous monster, and chances are this comment will go unnoticed, but it did have a small back story. You'll have to watch the special features to get all the details, but basically this creature came from the ocean, where it lived for... a very long time... and it is actually just a baby, lost and confused, but most of all hungry. Yes, there is something at least 5 times bigger out in the ocean apparently, according to "The Monster" special feature explaining the idea. But I have to say I loved this movie, I loved Hud (The dude with the camera), and I love the camera style. Cloverfield rocked my ass.

Lol! Cloverfield sucked. I liked the idea of a monster attackin a large city, but it gets very anoying very fast when the camera shakes all the time

Hilarious review!
I love NC's hysteric voice. Later on, TGWTG used that voice to impersonate the Bum. I feel so disappointed! Will NC ever use that voice again in a review?

that summed up the movie pretty good. and I agree, Cloverfield was ok

Honestly, I've never disagreed with you so much. This was still funny I guess...

Cloverfield is awesome

I am going to be truthful, I was dreading replying to this review because I didn't like the movie at all.
I like your review, just not the movie itself. I was so bored with it I had to skip to the end and that was no better then the middle of the movie!!!
I'm sure there were great moments in it but I was seriously so bored I actually liked the beginning with the whole party scene that when it stopped there I said in my mind "Hey! Why'd the party stop??? This topic was just getting interesting...OMG! Why the heck are we running down these stairs???"
And that was when it turned sour to me. Maybe there are those who liked it but I have to say I seriously did not get the movie. I gave it a shot, but it looked deeply bland in a depressing way and did not interest me enough to watch it all the way through.

As for the review, what I know from it because I did not watch the movie fully, I gotta tip my hat to NC for describing perfectly what it was like...and in the Bum's voice too!! ;D
