RE: My Personal Thoughts on "Cloverfield"
This movie, in my opinion, was almost like a monster movie Blair Witch...with a much much larger budget. It was great to see a monster movie that really didn't show the creature much. We all knew it was there but what did it truly look like other than a few glances throughout the movie. At the end of the day it was a great creature feature.
That's a great analogy. One I similarly refer to when discussing this movie. The fact that they hid the creature from sight for most of the movie was so original, but then adding those sound effects where you could also "hear " the madness in the distance, was the cherry of top of a "perfectly baked pie". :)
I guess the big question was "do we really need another Godzilla?" It was a great and unique concept that, unfortunately, has not been recreated. Even the new one couldn't hold a candle to the original.
