It's been a while since I've seen such a diffrent and original movie. Cloverfeild was more than what I expected it to be. Usually, when most movies hide the identity of a monster or killer they  fall short but this movie delivers. The "monster" is not dissapointing nor do iIstill know what it really looks like.  This movie is being compared to The Blair Witch Project. It has its similarites like the first person view with the camcorder and the fact that the main character is rarely seen but Cloverfeild far surpasses BWP in my opinion. What I couldnt help but notice is that this movie had a feeling of reality to it. Its not just because of the shaky camcorder (by the way may cause some motion sickness) or the NY 9/11 aftermath backround but the reality comes from the actors and their story as well as real life choices and decisons which are sometimes over the top but so over the top that it isnt suprising at all. The comedy aspect is great as well and come at all the right times. This movie will no doubt have split opinions but if your looking for an amazing thriller with a classic monster movie feel I highly recomend Cloverfeild. Is there anyone out there who didnt like it?
