Cloverfeild -I's surprised the creature didnt sport a turbin




The movie was fine (doesn't really merit a review... total B movie) but there were a few thoughts. First, the movie begins with a bang fallowed by the Chrysler Building falling, then later in the film the building resurrects itself (3 quarters of the way through) when the team escapes from a 'tower of Pisa'-esq apartment. My second point being: the shameful exploitation of 9/11. Who in the audience didn't get flash backs or post dramatic stress syndrome watching the Chrysler building collapse inward shooting soot through the streets of New York? -Just not done in good taste if you ask me, but i guess who watches a creature feature to see class. Oh JJ.
If you walk into the theater knowing what it is you'll enjoy yourself and leave without too much depression, emotional attachment or thoughts provoked, which is what we all need from time to time (especially Oscar season). See it if your in the mood ******

ps
for a better creature feature get The Host. this i did love. my advice get the subtitles not the voice over (it completely ruins the film). ******
