For those who don't know, it's a movie about how Manhattan gets attacked by something, and it's all shot with a handheld camera.
Personally, I think they did something amazing with the camera, because it's really hard to get the timing right with some things. Looking at one group of actors, then having another group get focused on and act on cue is just amazing. And the special effects were so well done, you couldn't really tell what was green screen and what wasn't!
For those who have seen it...
So, nearly everything was in fact answered in the movie, if you knew where to look and you payed attention ^^

No, you see, that's called ... acting. Most people you see in movies tend to do this.
Also, the movie was either mediocre or just-decent. I'm not sure which. Didn't really like it a whole lot.

I thought the best part was when my brother had to leave for about 20 minutes due to the motion sickness kicking in.
But I was sad when Hud died, he was the best character. But at least the movie ended shortly after.[blur=][/blur]

That would've ruined the movie.
In fact, showing the monster so up close at all sort of killed it for me, because it looked so goddamn stupid.

It made me incredibly sick though. I felt like such a pansy, but it's nice to know I'm not the only one. :<

I'm looking forward to the video game (Which will suck pretty hard, but would be interesting to look at) and the sequal, which will happen, because...

That's not saying much. I'd watch it again if it came on TV but never rent it.

And I've gone to all the official pages, looked at what I could.
God, I feel like a geek now XD
I wanna get a life-size model of the bug, stick a motion detector in it, set it to play that sound that it makes, and then stick it in my friends room. I bet you could hear her scream in Japan XD
No nukes were dropped on New York. I can prove that.

I liked the weird look of the monster, but I was disappointed because I had seen this picture before going in, and I think the gimp whale looks a lot cooler and a lot more believable than the broken-legged freak they put on. From what I've read from different interviews and such, the thing that falls in the last scene of the movie is actually supposed to be a satellite, that "woke up" the slumbering monster when it fell on him or something. And that's just retarded.
I know Godzilla and all the original BIG MONSTER movies didn't require explanations, but...if JJ wants us to believe it was a sea monster several thousands of years old, he should have made it look like something that could actually survive in water. Thing didn't even have webbed feet! Nature doesn't make sea monsters with knobby knuckles.
Buuuut dispelling my disbelief even further let me enjoy the movie a great deal. It's a good thing they used the angle of the handcam/normal people because I think it would have sucked if it had been from a military point of view.

That picture does look nifty, but the movie monster was a lot more creepy then that. That just looks like something I'd want to hug XD
There's actually a bit where you see another guy holding a video camera. So potential crossover? A military POV might be interesting if they release a short one with the DVD... it would shed some info on everything, and maybe we could find out what happened after...

Sure, it looks cute, but honestly it also looks (possibly) more frightening in terms of "Jesus christ this is huge as huge can be huge its eyes are lifeless it's just a fucking whale thing holy fuck it cannot be reasoned with and you cannot hold a very intellectually stimulating conversation with it for it is the personification of destruction ahhhhhhh".
The frog/lice/anorexic Godzilla thing just acted like an angry child having a tantrum once you actually saw it (to add more complaints about the thing from me). That's just off-putting.

I didn't want to be disappointed and expect something. So, I just hoped it was good, and to me, it was.
Though, I feel it's one of those "Only really really good when you watch in the theaters the first time and the other times it's just okay" types of movies.

Matt Reeves is in early talks with Paramount to direct a "Cloverfield" sequel, and he has also made a deal with GreeneStreet Films to direct "The Invisible Woman."
Timing of the projects will depend on how quickly Paramount can complete discussions with Reeves, producer J.J. Abrams and scribe Drew Goddard to scare up another monster tale for the "Cloverfield" sequel. There's a good chance the sequel will be Reeves' next film, in which case he will direct "The Invisible Woman" afterward.
"Woman" is a Hitchcock-style thriller that probes the mind of a former beauty queen who turns to a life of crime to protect her family.
Reeves wrote the script and will produce with Abrams and GreeneStreet's John Penotti, Fisher Stevens and Tim Williams.
"Matt has created a truly original and compelling character and story," said GreeneStreet's Penotti.
GreeneStreet will finance "The Invisible Woman," and GreeneStreet Intl. will sell overseas territories.
With a $25 million budget, a strong concept and cast of unknowns, "Cloverfield" scored a $46 million opening frame, which was a record for a Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend. Paramount gave away almost no first-dollar gross, making the film a bargain for the studio.
GreeneStreet recently completed two films: the John Polson-directed "Tenderness," starring Russell Crowe, which was just set for distribution at Lionsgate, and "Bill," directed by Melisa Wallack and Bernie Goldmann, which will be distributed by First Look Studios.
