Cloverfield - 6/10 or ***/***** stars
The J.J. Abrams-produced handheld video camera monster movie, Cloverfield (poor title, by the way; I didn't think this was going to be the official title), starts with a tortuous 20 minute opening sequence that brings one of MTV's wretched "reality" shows to mind. Once the head of the Statue of Liberty crashes into the streets of New York and all hell breaks loose, the film moves at a lightning-fast pace, without ever taking a moment to slow things down. Cloverfield is very much like The Blair Witch Project, except with a massive creature instead and not as memorable. That's the problem with Cloverfield -- it's 65 minutes (if you subtract the opening sequence from its overall running length) of chaotic, headache-inducing entertainment, but ultimately forgettable. Note: Am I the only person who HATED the character who held the video camera? I think his name is Hud. Seriously, he really got on my nerves. What did you watch today?

idk i kinda liked tha dude behind the camera, he kinda cooled the tension while everything around him was goin to hell. The endin kinda just went.............BAM ! DONE! So it felt like i was missin somethin. I give it a 7/10.
Heard on yahoo awhile back that there gonna make a Cloverfield 2. Possibly from the vantage point of another camera during the monster attack.
