Cloverfield... (contains spoiler)

[Kopite]

...is ace. Just watched it in full 1080p High-Def (on my PS3).

 

I knew that girl was going to die a horrible death after being attacked. All that pink slime around the wound can't be good for your health.

 

What is everyone else's opinion?

[RJ Fan club]

woah, spoiler that shit. I was gonna watch it tomorrow.

[Section_31]

I thought it was good yeah, to be honest though I couldn't imagine it being AS good on DVD as it was at the pictures, feels like you need that sense of scale to make it a really ace film.

Saying that though your TV is wider than Dawn French's arse, so no problem there!

It's 40" and it did look really good in High-Def.

 

The service from America is excellent. I paid £11.30 for it (inc. p&p), ordered it last Sunday, it was despatched on Wednesday and came this morning.

You know that Bruce Willis is dead too, right?

 

Good.

RIP Bruce, did he Die Hard?

Fate dealt you a cruel hand with that one - Cloverfield is ace, Jumper is shite(even though I haven't actualy seen jumper but i'm convinced it will be turd)

 

 

I agree with S31 though, I don't think it will be nearly as good on a t.v. as it was on the big screen.

Not the greatest film by any means, but I really enjoyed it. Godzilla filmed in the style of The Blair Witch Project sounds shite on paper, but it works really well for me.

I thought Cloverfield was absolutely dire. My mate gave it a massive thumbs up (ooer) and I expected it to be good. The bloke with the camera was completely annoying, the CGI was shite and the ending was a load of bollocks.

I reckon they could have killed the monster by having it "accidentally fall down the stairs"... ;)

jumper wasnt that good. Sam the man was rather shit in it.

[Redder Lurtz]

I was disappointed with it to be honest. It was mainly a bunch of loud mouthed Americans shouting "WE GODDA GID OUDDA HEEERE" and "OOH MY GAWWDD" and arguing with eachother about which way they should go.

 

Agree with Chris Royle about the bloke with the camera. Extremely annoying.

 

My advice: Put Will Smith in it, use proper cameras and make a proper blockbuster movie.

One thing that always makes me laugh about these films though is the ultra professionalism of the American militray and emergency services as they're depicted.

 

In war of the worlds you see them CHARGING towards the war machines, and even weeks into the invasion they're all "Keep back sir, we'll handle this!"

 

It's funny when you consider that 300 New Orleans police officers walked off the job in the first week after Hurricane Katrina - resulting in a murder and rape fest at the Superdome.

 

Additional acts of unrest occurred following the storm, particularly with the New Orleans Police Department. In the aftermath, a tourist asked a police officer for assistance, and got the response, "Go to hell, it's every man for himself."[33] Also, one third of New Orleans police officers deserted the city in the days before the storm, many of them escaping in their department-owned patrol cars. This added to the chaos by stretching law enforcement thin.[34] Additionally, there were confirmed cases of police officers stealing vehicles from the Sewell Cadillac car dealership, further adding to the confusion. Several NOPD officers were arrested weeks after Katrina for suspicion of vehicle theft.

Yeah but there's a big difference between the ethnic origin of the people featured in War of the Worlds/Cloverfield and those who actually live in New Orleans. ;)

I think the spoiler is Cloverfield just isn't that great. It isn't Alien scary or Godzilla action-packed. Jumpers wasn't brilliant but was less irritating than Cloverfield and as a piece of mindless entertainment it worked for me.

 

(Thought Juno was great)

[Karl_b]

I thought it was ace. It was a simple monster movie filmed in a different style and I thought it was massively entertaining.

[Anubis]

...resulting in a murder and rape fest at the Superdome.

I recall reading that subsequent investigation showed this to be untrue.

 

As for Cloverfield - good bit of popcorn. Basically the film Godzilla should have been.

Just watched cloverfield, i was a tad disappointed.

[kelster]

Possibly the worse opening 20-30 minutes of any film I have ever watched. I just wanted them all to be killed. Maybe that was the aim of the director.

Hud is like HUD from FPS games.

Heads Up Display.

Somebody rep Jules for me please.

 

As for the film I liked it, but the pretence that conventional weapons were insufficient to defeat the beast was a bit laughable.

 

They would have bombed it's ass off.

[odris]

I have repped Jules, only because im bored.

Why?

 

It lived under the fucking ocean, it must've had a hell of a lot of protection.
