A dazzling experiment that paid off immensely, this is cinematic pleasure at its purest. One caveat: If they ever make a sequel, we’re taking two stars back.
Cloverfield, a surreptitiously subversive, stylistically clever little gem of an entertainment disguised, under its deadpan-neutral title, as a dumb Gen-YouTube monster movie, makes the convincingly chilling argument that the world will end -- or, at least, Manhattan will crumble -- with a bang and a whimper.

Cloverfield is an exercise in realism that lacks reality's broader and richer context. Or, put another way, the experiment is artful, but it ain't art.
Cloverfield's gritty, in-your-face style is uncompromising. If you're looking for a nice, clean movie filmed with a steadycam, you'll have to look elsewhere.
Much scampering, yelling, quaking and crying is required of the actors, and they acquit themselves well enough, even with oozing fake wounds and prop rebars piercing their shoulder blades.
Mind you, I don't begrudge the creators of even a junk-food movie like Cloverfield the fun they had demolishing New York one more time.
Cloverfield is a relentless, I-thought-my-eyeballs-were-bleeding exercise in visual disorientation.
Give me more clover and less Rob and Beth, AND NO HUD. Also they all should’ve died well before the end, Beth literally was impaled with rebar and they got in a helicopter crash, very unrealistic for them to survive this. TL:DR I love big monster, hate Rob and Beth.
Report
Ainda não entendi muito bem o proposito desde filme.
Os personagens são terríveis; a ligação entre eles mal existe; o plot é fraco e não dá a motivação necessária para o filme; o romance entre o casal não cola e toda a tentativa da edição de fazer-nos engolir aquilo é no minimo triste; os efeitos especiais não são bons o suficiente para carregar a trama; toda imersão, que a câmera na mão devia causar, não existe; os diálogos são ruins e nem um pouco reais, junto com a reação de cada personagem; os deus ex machina aqui rola solto e nada, absolutamente nada, nos dá um motivo bom pra continuarmos assistindo. Na realidade, porque de tanta gente interessante naquela cidade, o roteiro escolheu justamente eles para que nós os acompanhemos. O que há de especial neles?!
Sendo assim, eu pergunto: qual o ponto?
