Why Cloverfield Sucks

There was a lot of hype in the build-up to this film, especially towards the anticipation of its Blair Witch style camera effects and mysterious monsters.

The film revolves around a monster suddenly terrorising Manhattan as a group of friends start to run for their lives. People die everywhere, and these main characters manage to live for quite some time. They:

  • Travel through the subway whilst being chased by little baby monsters
  • Escape death as the Brooklyn Bridge falls right in front of them
  • Instead of going towards safety, they go back where the monster is and decide to save someone who's most likely dead anyway
  • Climb bent skyscrapers and jump from one to the other
  • Survive a crashing helicopter!
Y U NO DIE?

But they surely aren’t the brightest bunch. Even though they may die any second, they have so much thought for the camera! If that happened, we think the majority of sane people will be more worried about running like Hell, than going back to pick up a stupid camera.

Our last two survivors of the film end up taping themselves under a bridge. Why hide under a bridge? You may as well run for your life! They had so much time to run further and live, but nooo… they would rather tape themselves talking to a camera. Everyone’s in love with the flipping camera! Even the baby monsters who sound like turkeys want a close-up!


And out of all places, why does America seem to be the target for so many monsters? Godzilla, King Kong, extraterrestrials, and now this bug from out of space. They all seem to have something against America and this bug even topples the Statue of Liberty. They're anti-American that's what.

  1. Lolwut? Godzilla was in Japan and King Kong was dorced into America. And maybe the reason most monster movies you've seen takre place in America, is because they are made in AMERICA?
