ITS A MONSTER
---
Cloverfield was an absolutely fantastic movie. Of course, I was already psyched about it, plus there are hardly any cool monster movies like that, so that made it so much more rewarding. Some of the major complaints I heard about the movie were that it was too short, the camera made people sick, and that you couldn't see the monster. Surprisingly, I didn't seem to have any of those problems.

Now, don't get me wrong, the movie was short. About 71 or some odd minutes of actual stuff. Really though, not at all a problem. I think that with what the movie had to offer, the length was perfect for telling the story in semi-real time over the course of one night. Secondly, the camera was shaky, but not sickening. Maybe because I play so many videogames I'm not at easily nauseated by shaky camera movements as other people. I don't know though, thats all I have. Lastly, you do get to see the monster. Yes, parts are brief and you never get a perfect view of it, but it's just enough to keep you wondering what the hell is going on.
