Forget the fact that this entire move is shot by an amateur cameraman while running/jumping/diving/climbing his way around New York City, that fact is well known by now.
The movie carries on in such a way where you are forced to believe that the "disturbance" is following the main characters. It amazed me that time after time, no matter where they went in a city the size of New York that the "disturbance" was there to meet them.
I was also forced to believe a person can not only survive being impaled through the chest, having the object that impaled them removed and have the gaping wound only leave a small blood stain on her tight shirt but also that within minutes she'll be up and running around.
Later she and her friends will survive a crash that personel in safety equipment will perish in.
This movie was awful. If you don't mind it being implied that you are stupid enough to believe everything that this movie asks you to believe...feel free to waste your money.
What's great about it: It has an ending.
What's not so great: The ending doesn't come soon enough.

The movie was a very slow progressing plot line just letting you wait to see what is really going to happen... And then you just keep waiting. It was based on a real perspective but could have been portrated with better cinamatography to keep the viewer interested.
What's great about it: Real perspective
What's not so great: Slow plot line

HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT

Now I know why I didn't bother seeing it in theatres. After the first several minutes I got a really bad headache from the shaky camera movements. Every time the action started to pick up the camera "suddenly" gives out like the person dropped it, a sign of the films extremely low budget. All you get to watch is shaky camera shots of up close face, butt shots and most of all ground shots throughout the movie. VERY POOR ACTING. The only descent special effect was the Statue Of Liberty head flying down into the street and even then it was quite obvious that it COMPLETELY out of scale. People were standing next to it and were just as tall as the head.
WHAT A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME TO WATCH. I stopped it half way through. The back says "FRIGHTENING". I say bulls$#t. You can get scared better with an old horror flick like Friday 13th or Chucky.
What's great about it: UHMMMMMMMMMM---NONE
What's not so great: EXTREME MOTION SICKNESS AND A BAD HEADACHE
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This movie is very good. When they said what was that I was thinking same thing I mean this movie is the best, the drector made us thinking it really happing, with the camara jumping up and down.. Man this movie very awsome and scary and when the end comes it makes you think they going make it. Then I saw them under a bridge because the helicopter crashed, and they saying who they are and goes black, it makes you think what happen did they live or die. It a great movie and very worth the money you won't be disappointed....

A great concept that almost gets it right

Cloverfield is something that we've really lacked in the last several years: an American monster movie. Some would argue that Roland Emmerich's Godzilla remake counts, but it was still attached to a Japanese tradition. J.J. Abrams's concept, about a giant monster attcking during a goodbye party being held for the departure of one of the main characters really hits home, both in its imagery (an instantly famous shot of the decapitated head of the Statue of Liberty hitting a New York City street comes to mind) and its unavoidable commentary on post 9/11 hysteria. The ensuing panic and destruction is both technologically dazzling and fascinating to watch.
The film follows a group of partiers who go to look for one's girlfriend after they get into a fight at his going-away party. Abrams originally pitched the movie as something like Godzilla meets a Cameron Crowe movie, and the first 2o minutes or so of the movie really reflect that. This sets up the reason for which the entire film is shot in handheld: it turns out that the footage we see is government evidence for a project code-named "Cloverfield". At the party, one of the guys is assigned to film goodbyes from all of the partygoers for the main character, and in the chaos that ensues, he decides to keep filming the attack. Some may lose interest during the beginning of the film because there is no monster; indeed, a definite "Jurassic Park" effect is present, because nothing is seen for about 25 minutes. Still, if you hang in there, it's a good ride.
Overall, Cloverfield isn't an amazing film, but it's got style and originality. Nonetheless, the shaking camera really gets on your nerves toward the end, especially when the monster is in play, but luckily it is a short enough film that you won't lose interest. It might be interesting to see an alternate take on the event where it is shot normally, but that rather defeats the point. That's like saying "Memento" would be better if it went forward.
I recommend this to anyone, since it really is good entertainment. Just bear in mind that you will be getting a drama more so than an action movie.
What's great about it: A flashy monster movie with good performances and thrills
What's not so great: The hand-held camera gets really shaky, and it can get confusing
I would recommend this to a friend!

Expected a better movie based on comments from friends, etc. Parts of it was okay but a lot was a little far out there.

This movie has the uniqueness of The Blair Witch Project combined with the type of movie like the original The Thing. Very well done and up to date.
