i saw it tonight with some guys from work, and thought it was awesome
it wasnt the usual monster movie showing you how scientists try to work out where it came from, how the military plans to take it down, etc.. it shows how every day people would react to a big ass monster fucking up your city. for the most part, they got it on point.. but i woulda got the fuck outta town a bit quicker than they did

No kidding. If that girl would have left that message on my phone I would be like "sorry bitch, i hope you make it but i am getting out of this mother fucker!"
Just got back from an advanced screaning of Cloverfield. I wasn't too impressed. I would give it a 3/5. I'd save your money though.
I heard it was a large Britney Spears, except it took care of its children ???LOL WTF?

Nope. I couldn't really figure out what it looked like exactly, but I can definitely say it wasn't that.

yea...it has the right idea..but it looked different....it had like 4 legs plus two smaller arms in the middle...and a tail. (or tentactle)

when they're at the brooklyn bridge and hud is filming the statue of liberty with no head etc.. there is another guy who is also filming, and hud and that guy film each other for a second or two. matt reeves did an interview saying if they did a sequel, it would be something like that.. so do a movie of the same attack but following a different group of people this time
If anyone REALLY wants to spoil the secret for the film:\
MAJOR SPOILERS

Contrary to what people will tell you, there's actually a good view of the monster from the air (filmed by a news helicopter and seen on a TV) seen fairly early after it attacks, so the suspense of trying to figure out what it looks like doesn't last that long. You just don't get a good look at its face until the very end.
Nope. No explenations at all. Kinda sucks really.hell no that is what makes the movie so good... if you and your friends were running away trying to live and shit how much explanations would you really have? seriously think about it.... did you want a scientist to magically appear and start explaining where the monster came from and how to kill it etc etc?
It leaves a lot to the imagination, that's what's so great. That is why people will be talking about this movie for months to come.
We are so used to finding out the entire plot based off the trailer so that we can determine whether or not we want to see a movie that we don't know what to do when there is actually some secrecy held within a movie from start to finish.

it's a good point, but if there's no payoff to such things, as a fiction reader/comic book reader/sci fi fan it really is not worth it for me. the trailer just strikes me as so pretentious that if it's not paying those seeds off then it's kind of like 'fuck off' you know?
anyway, can someone show me full real images of the monster?

i like that idea better. who gives a fuck about that one chick. plus it's cool that the two people died together I THINK.
Did anybody else notice at the last few seconds of the movie after Rob & Beth die, they show footage of them at Coney Island. Well when they're looking at the water, you can see something crash land into the water at the right side of the screen.Damn, missed that too, guess I'll have to get it on DVD
The Monster below...Ehh, that's not the monster...

My friend and I were really debating on what the thing was. He claimed it was a robot, but I'm pretty sure it was a monster. Someone please tell me who's right on our debate.
