clover'failed'
3.13.2008
I am not used to doing movie reviews (or any kind of review for that matter) but I just had to (really really must) save everyone who hasn't watched this film yet (and is planning to watch it). My dearest moviegoers, BE WARNED.. If you hated the Blairwitch, then I'm pretty sure you'll feel the same for Cloverfield. I just downloaded a copy of it (piracy *haha*) and Jerick and I literally fast-forwarded through it. And for that brief moment, we knew how crappy the film was. Matt Reeves (the director) failed to awe us with his special effects despite the fact that the movie is about an attack of a huge creature. Most of the scenes even showed the actors faces instead of the monster (usually you'll just hear the so-called "sound effects" of the alien). And since the events were shot under the context of a personal handheld camera used by the characters, (tipid sa camera crew *hehe*) watching the motion picture made us woozy (sobrang in motion kasi sila). Lastly, the whole shebang failed to be on par with other Horror/Moster films.. Dapat pa nga hindi sya na-classify under "horror" because the plot *slash* and or scenes failed to scare us. Overall, I am truly disappointed with this movie. To think that I was attracted pa naman by their "mysterious" poster. Buti na lang we didn't watch it sa sine. So for those who still dare to watch it, don't make me say "I told you so" :oP
