Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Cloverfield is a good film. Like The Blair Witch Project it puts you in the midst of the action with a camcorder. This is good because the immediacy of the situation is well realized and the chaos truly captured. In a nutshell a giant creature wrecks havoc on the big apple(yet again) and we are with a group of 20 somethings when it happens. The pacing is what makes this film- I remember watching for the first 20 minutes nothing happens and then once the carnage begins it's a roller coaster. The actors are all adequate and the effects are quite good. If you want good entertainment Cloverfield is the movie for you.

A first-person-type movie... familiar? Yeah, let's not talk about the fact that this idea has already been done by other movies, as long as it's done good.
So, what we got here is a giant monster and its origins are unknown. Initially I presumed it is an aquatic creature - I noticed the tentacles and at some point in the movie, even some kind of external gills near its head; but then, I saw its incredibly non-hydrodynamic body... maybe from outer space? It actually doesn't matter; it matters that it's huge... and it's on the rampage!
The characters in this movie are pretty well-contoured and credible. In a giant monster/disaster movie, its greatest challenge is to aim at the reaction of masses during any form of cataclysm. Where "2012" failed, this one succeeded. Well, I'm talking about loosing sanity, the well-known self-preservation behavior etc (See "The mist", a movie which relies more on that than the creatures themselves).
Oh, I forgot to mention the subliminal messages scattered throughout this movie; all I'm gonna say is "Them!", "The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms", "King Kong", and also something crucial that happens at the end of the movie. Do the research yourself!

"Cloverfield" isn't the best monster movie I've seen, but it is still a pretty solid movie. The big thing that people liked about this film was its viral marketing, which I still think is genius. The acting is vastly superior over the terrible performances you would see in movies like "The Gallows".
To be honest, there isn't much to really praise about this movie. It isn't really amazing like so many people say it is. But it is good, and I do recommend watching it at least once.

Hey Rob Hey Rob Hey Rob Hey Rob Hey Rob, Rob Rob RoooobbbbbIf I hear those words again, I'm going to smash my T.V. "Hey Rob" was yelled more times than I can count. The acting in this movie was pathetic, with all the heavy breathing and every scene being predictable. There was absolutely no creativity in any part of the movie. Even the C.G.I was unbelievable. This movie makes my top ten list of the worst movies ever made. If you have not watched this movie, Please don't waste your time.
