Cloverfield Review Summary
Cloverfield, a
"a high-intensity first-person monster movie, from
Lost producer J. J. Abrams," received mixed reviews from Viewpoints moviegoers. A film that many looked forward to, the biggest complaint of
Cloverfield is the filming being done by a handheld camera. Many reviewers found this distracting. More than a few refer to it as "
Godzilla meets
The Blair Witch Project. Yet, the movie's fans felt after the "action starts,
Cloverfield delivers an engaging human film that makes the monster a bit player at its own coming out party." The ending of the film is less than satisfying, as viewers never "see enough of the monster to figure out what it is."
