Comments on: 10 Reasons why Cloverfield just didn’t work… http://towardsmecca.com/2008/02/12/10-reasons-why-cloverfield-just-didnt-work/ Wed, 25 Jan 2012 00:19:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Anonymous http://towardsmecca.com/2008/02/12/10-reasons-why-cloverfield-just-didnt-work/comment-page-1/#comment-313 Anonymous Mon, 17 Mar 2008 04:35:48 +0000 http://towardsmecca.com/2008/02/13/10-reasons-why-cloverfield-just-didnt-work/#comment-313 I have to disagree, while you bring out some good points, I think Cloverfield was a very enjoyable movie overall. Though you somewhat contradicted yourself on number 10, my biggest disagreement is with number 1. It was pretty clear that the camera man was determined to keep the camera, because the world needs to know how it happened. Theres footage of people recording with camera phones as the cloud of debris came towards them from 9/11 so it wouldn't seem like too much of a stretch for someone to keep recording during a monster attack, especially after the night vision feature saved they're lives in the subway. If anything It was the characters ridiculous durability and aversion to holding on to things to protect themselves with that annoyed me the most.

On top of that you manage to drag 3 of your friends for not reasons... I have to admit that it was refreshing to see a monster movie from the "victime" side of the story. hmmmm… how about going back to god knows where to find the one-nightstand girl (which rejected to you your whole life than sleeps with you because you are leaving and wants to find out if she missed anything…) On top of that you manage to drag 3 of your friends for not reasons…

I feel the same way about the movie. It was entertaining but there are so many issues I had with it. I actually thought one of the best parts was the copter crash. I was scared outta my mind when that was happening. For some reason I felt what they felt. Very nice write-up. I feel the same way about the movie.

Although in some ways entertaining, if they had worked out those kinks and a few other things, it could have been a whole lot better. But in the end, it was garbage. JJ Abrams is riding this whole LOST fame thing too much. That movie was a farce.
