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)

lol, i luv how u were like 'THIS FILM WAS OK!' also i liked how u didn't really
spoil the ending 4 me, because u said that the bit at the end didn't really
happen and i thought u meant that the part about the guy getting eaten didn't
really happen. anyway u roc big time

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

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.

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 )

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.

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.

debut of bum voice COOL

Rhyel - Not just a monster

|2008-08-16 19:36:27

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?

EliteSpartin

|2008-09-18 06:09:51

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

Davoo

|2008-09-22 02:45:44

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

Cloverfield is awesome

SimonW - What The Heck...???

|2008-09-29 17:58:28

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
