Cloverfield is a cinematic atrocity that mistakes stomach-turning camera jerks for "realism" and incoherent screaming for "tension." The movie's found-footage gimmick is not compelling-it appears to be a migraine on wheels, as if the cameraman is happily mocking people with Parkinson's disease. The opening act is a slog of terrible, poorly written dialogue, and instead of improving, it devolves into pandemonium so illogical it's as if the writers sat down after a bender to hash some ideas out. Characters don't react; they screech, make idiotic decisions, and fail at basic survival, as if the filmmakers never researched how humans behave under stress. Every "thrilling" moment falls flat, drowned out by shaky visuals and incoherent pacing. By the end, you'll hate the characters, the monster, and most of all, yourself for wasting time on this garbage. A 1/10 insult to cinema.

Not a horror, but i liked this silly comedy. It is cosy even though beginning and ending are unnecessary long, and could have been filled with more comedic or horror-like value. The actors have cliche characteristics, and somehow resembled qualities same to Will Ferrell's way of doing comedy. Despite my higher expectations, I didn't feel like I lost my time watching this, and would recommend watching it in a group with friends, so you would have time to laugh, chitchat, and have nice atmosphere. Although, I watched it by myself and was delighted by how this cutie pie story turned out.

! But if you do not like silly, simple humor, want real horror, and don't plan to watch it just for relaxation, and have certain level of expectations - this film is not for you.
