Ok i have just seen the movie and have a few things to say. First of all the movie was awesome, great idea, good creativity, and very good acting. However I feel it left to much unexplained, don’t get me wrong, i do like the suspense but i think that they layered it on to thick, i would have like to have known*spoiler*why the girl exploded other than the fact she got bitten that just completely lost me, second what the heck were the things coming off the monsters body, besides pains in the ass, third what is the monster and how did it get here not where it came from(frankly i dont care), fourth why did everyone act so calm when they were running next to a friggen fifty foot monster with rockets exploding all around, and how come everyone survived the helicopter crash except the trained pilot. OK, not that my bad criticism is out of the way i would like to move onto the things i liked about it. I thought that the camcorder viewpoint was excellent (except for the intense shaking at some parts), I liked most of the suspense parts, I liked that you kept it Pg-13 but still had pretty gorey and nasty parts in it, liked the useage of comedy in it and the fact that even in the worst of situations they can keep a light mood, and finally how you never actually know what happened after the nuke hit. All around i would give this movie a 8 out of 10 because the story and suspense was great, it just was to hard to follow in some parts.

get lives and watch CLOVERFIELD!!! woot!!

its coming……

So, exploitive or not, my personal feeling is that unless I’m told that this is an absolute “must-see” I will avoid this film.

And yes, I do wish that filmmakers would pick on another city, but not because of some “oh they are pissing on liberty” crap — I just, having gone through a real tragedy here, flinch at seeing fake ones portrayed in the aftermath. (And yes, I’m fully aware that these sort of images have been part of filmmaking for years–from King Kong to Deep Impact, etc… They just have more personal impact since 9/11.)
