  • Worst part of the film was that the protagonists were upper-middle class twenty-somethings who were completely annoying and astonishingly dull witted, as was evidenced by their observations of the giant space lizard: "Dude, that's, like, unreal ... dude!"

  • Yes Mark Kermode, reknowned and respected film critic, doesn't know much about films...He didn't say Godzilla was American he meant that the original film and the character were metaphors for Japanese fear US nuclear testing, possibly in a post Hiroshima and Nagasaki world. If that makes sense.

    I don't think there's anything wrong with a 84 minute film. Why do something in 3 hours when you can do in half the time?

  • I vomited watching Cloverfield.

  • The problem with The Last Broadcast was that the ending completely ruined a fantastic build up. And that's a rather big problem.

  • @chanceie12 I totally agree, i just recently watched Rec and Rec 2 for my first time and i thought they were both loads better than Cloverfield, actually the best hand cam films ive ever seen. The best thing about Rec is the fact that both Rec and Rec 2 are amazing films, the sequel really digs deeper into why theres an outbreak and peopel are changing, who said teh Spanish couldnt do horror........actually, i did, and i take it back

  • REC is a materpiece.

  • My second favorite of the "found footage" kind of movies behind the first [REC]

  • @billfenner1967 yeah i agree. they were annoying older teenyboppers

  • This is one of the worst films I have seen for quite a while. I don't often turn over from a film I have paid for. In fact, I never do. Ridiculous. It would have been better if it was just a straight film with characters and a story but the idea that this guy had a camera in his hand the whole time just drove me crazy, very very poor.

  • @4chanGANGBANG Go back to 4chan and take Cloverfield with you.

  • he talks so much shit, somebody kill this guy plz

  • I love monster movies, but i was bored rigid by The Host.
