CLOVERFIELD... OH MY!

This is what I get for going to see movie I said I wouldn't go see. Anyways after the hype died down I decided to go check what everybody and their mother were talking about 3 weeks ago, and found myself lost in a montser mash of ridiculous proportions, not unlike the featured creature, all limbs, no substance.

A brilliant movie is usually the one that creates a sense rapport and empathy from the audience. I usually measure the amount of empathy I've generated by the number of character names that are stuck with me long after the film is done. Other than Screaming Idiot one two and three, I remember mostly HUD, because he was the camera man, you know the one that I secretly longed for the monster to eat, so that it will all be over soon...

If you have no idea, I despised it so much I'll kill it with 15 bullets or less

• Hi, I'm CLOVERFIELD, a movie set in New York, I will bombard you all with distasteful images reminiscent of September 11
• Hi, I'm idiot number one, who just got a job in Japan. I'm in love with cool girl number one. She is not really that cool, remember. I'm an idiot.
• I'm the Statue of Liberty, minding my own business when the monster with no back ground smacks my head off and the so call action begins.
• Hello, we are the US Army, of course we will engage monster with no background with all we have, but amidst the chaos we will allow Idiot #1 to go look for his cool girl along with a bunch of friends... it is only a SEALED RESTRICTED AREA, and after all it is a SCIFI movie.
• We are the monster parasites, no it is not the miscelaneous japanese softdrink that is making people blow off it; is our bite, after all we are parasites and you don't know where we've been
• GRRRRRRRR!!! I am ridiculously scrawny monster in proportion to the damage I'm creating and while you wonder how I was able to tear off Lady Liberty's head. I'll eat HUD and leave the camera intact so idiot #1 can pick it up
• I'm idiot number one leaving a message that will set you up for...
• An out of place flashback in Coney Island were something falls from the sky into the water and a whole bunch of people say... "I think that was the monster"

DAMN, eight bullets, that's even less than Gigli

I know, I might be a hater, after all is like all the frigging world worships JJ Abrams, but when someone tells me this is a seminal work on Sci-fi, I usually try to find out what is so distinctive about it, other than the point of view.

The quote:

Hud: "Our options are die here, die in the tunnels or die in the streets"- to which I answered, whispering softly- I dont care where you die, just die already...
