Movie Review: Cloverfield
First, I apologize for again abandoning the blog. The workload has quadrupled (maybe more) this year, as if last year’s workload wasn’t heavy enough. I believe this has something to do with tutors struggling to finish the entire syllabus before mid this year.
Probably the best movie I have seen so far this year. Paramount actually did a good job putting the Cloverfield project under a veil of heavy secrecy — mysterious casting and no scripts were sent out.
Eventually, a cast of ‘good-looking’ unknowns (another great idea from Paramount, it just adds spice to the movie) were put together. The movie is shot with a hand-held camera (imagine ‘Blair Witch Project’ or a YouTube video) which just puts you right in the movie.
Peppered with humor and amazing action sequences, I am giving Cloverfield a rating of
Rating: 
But please make sure to take a leak before entering the cinema. Watch it!

I thought the movie needed more information on the ‘thing’. Other than that, I think it was quite all right. The scary ’spider’ scenes were indeed scary and put you right in the movie, which was great. LOL.

@mR.GoKiL: Are you serious? I would love to see the movie lagi. Walaupun balik2. AHAH
@Tina: Apparently it was meant to be like that. Try reading [Warning: Spoilers] this (Gokil, you might want to read that too). It got me all excited.
The fictional characters in the film have their own MySpace page and a blog!
I smell a sequel coming up for Cloverfield.

Yeah, u’re right Affy. JJ Abrams wanted to make the movie a mysterious one. That’s why there no clue on what the monster is and where it came from. He also wanted to create an American monster. And yes, I think there will be a sequel cause I just read cloverfieldclues.blogspot.com, in which it mention that at the end of the credits, you can hear Rob’s voice saying “Help…It’s still alive”! Haha. Interesting, huh?
