Was pretty good, but I reckon it would've been better had you not seen the monster. Would've added to the tension and drama. Those little creatures were pointless too.

Worth a watch, but nothing special.

Wouldn't have had the same meaning or effect without, but it was annoying at times.

Only annoyed me when he kept dropping the fucker. Otherwise I could see past it and not let it ruin the film.

Jesus, it did move around alot, but it wasn't that bad. Walking down stairs must make these kind of people sick.

I would've liked for the monster to die, then get a military storyline, or some sort of explanation.

left it open for a sequel, but it could (SHOULD) have been much better at the end.

Also, wifey they went back for, big fucking pole thru the chest, aye, just yank her off it & now shes running about, no bother, no bleeding to death or shock or owt?

pretty poor in places.

Yeah alot of them had superhuman powers throughout. They also seemingly ran down 57 flights of stairs after she was resuced too. The chick that got bitten wasn't even that bothered about the massive holes in her shoulder and back either.

Aye, pretty poor.

I was going to start a thread about Jumper, but it would take me too long to go through the holes in that film.

Poor from start to finish. will leave it at that

Cloverfield, had some good ideas, i personally liked the idea of the camcorder, though it must have a good battery / memory card / tape, cos they were filming for ages!

*Warning, Spoiler*

If you read all the underground balls and the film synopsis, basically that monster is a baby monster...

At the end when the camera cuts off from the action and back to the theme park, she says "its been a good day", in the background something falls out the sky which is either the monster, or has awaken the monster (just like war of worlds )

So yeah there is the possibilty for a sequel, no doubt it'll be shit, probably some more falling from the sky, other parts of the world, what happened to the original one, did the air strike do anything, who found the tape etc etc etc


Films can be good even if they have no ending, take Saw series for example (ok after 3 they were pushing it abit) but still left you thinking it was finished.


All in all in was a cult movie that turned out to be shit
