Cloverfield - Halfway
For all the hype that it generated since its trailer was first shown on Transformers the Movie, I think Cloverfield was underwhelming. I watched it with Jamie this afternoon and we left halfway through the movie.
I have a few nagging thoughts:
1) The actress who played "Beth" is very pretty.
2) I'm not sure if the hand-held camera filming method is really effective (by my standards and tastes) when used throughout the movie. I wasn't too impressed with both Cloverfield and The Blair Witch Project (both of them used the filming method all throughout the movie) but I thought the Bourne Ultimatum is kick-@$$ (with it applying the same filming method only on fight scenes).
3) The marketers for this movie are so good to generate so much hype the past 6 months. Cloverfield's gross total in less than a week, or maybe for just a couple of days, may already surpass its overall budget.
4) Aside from "The Dark Knight", what are the movies that I should look forward to for 2008?
