Madface The OC is in the fact that all the human characters that the movie follows are total spoiled brat douchebags (except for Hud...I kinda liked Hud). I didn't give a damn when any of them died...including Hud unfortunately. You get to see the monster a considerable amount but sometimes the shots seemed rediculously fake. There were times when it felt mildly real but than a random shot would come along and I'd be say to myself "did Abrams just give up or did they run out of money?" My friend said it was pretty mind blowing after she saw it...but I just didn't fall in the way she did...there was some pricelessly funny shit but other than that little else.

Now if only that Imogen Heap song would play every time someone got munched up, it might be worth another watch

Hype is a powerful tool.

It was pretty mediocre. The camera jiggles were kind of a gimmick to draw you into a movie with an otherwise non-existent story and two-dimensional cast.

It was the film equivalent of cheetos: tasty, but utterly devoid of any value. And after I finish the bag I don't want any cheetos for another goddamn year.

I've never been a fan of big monster movies. I hated Godzilla. When the monster's that huge, there's no chance for suspense, and it's not scary in a "I'm gonna stalk my prey and eat them with my little mouth too" kind of way. I mean, I guess you could get stomped or chewed up by it, but it doesn't play on the human psyche the way other monsters do. You're just collateral damage of a flopping big fish in a small pond. Its predatory instincts, mental or physical, aren't dead set on you and your death. It's not going to wrap you up in a slimy cocoon or slowly digest you or eat your wife's brains. It has no reason to kill you. It's just... big. Imagine a movie about John Wayne Gacey, but instead of hunting you and slitting your throat, he grows 20 stories tall and steps on people. Sounds kinda stupid, huh? The characters are just monster food, and the plot is such: Make big monster. Big monster kills people and hits buildings. Try to kill monster. Can't. Damn! Loud noises.

Zomboid I'm gonna get it anyway.
Jan 27th, 2008 08:05 PM
Vanhelm13 Holy damn. I saw it yesterday.
Easily one of the best movies of the past few years.

I read in some interview that the Cloverfield monster-thing is immature. So maybe there's other, larger ones?
I don't have any good theories about it's creation or whatever, I just know that it was fucking adorable, and it's little zergling-things were too.

I'd probably get the figure if it wasn't 100 fucking dollars.

Angryhydralisk "the monster looks like an anorexic Orga ( the godzilla monster)"

I thought the same thing when I finally saw it. The little monsters looked like something out of Starship Troopers.

Still, this was a good film, nice and messed up. Plus I had a good laugh about the camera. It survives explosions, being in a monsters mouth, AND goes 90 minutes without a re-charge!?

Get me one of those.

EDIT: Hellboy 2 looks awesome. Hellboy gets to kick gay albino vampire/elf/whatever ass.
