Cloverfield (DVD) Reviews

Search for JJ Abrams on the net and you would be amazed how this guy is glorified or sometimes criticised for his TV shows and movies. Lost, Mission Impossibe 3 and the revival of Star Trek franchise, this guy is workaholic geek director. Cloverifield is one the movie he produced and directed by Matt Reeves which is basically ...  Read the complete review

Immediately this film has a home movie style camera shot style, while this may not please everyone for many watchers this provides a fresh of breath air against the repetitive, monster attack movie perfect filming that is ever so common on today's modern movies. Not only this but the abrupt ending can be disappointing to some watchers ...  Read the complete review

I'm afraid to say that I'm quite disappointed with this film, it has four and five star reviews and so I was expecting excellence when I watched it. My initial reaction to the first few scenes was positive, I was thinking it had potential to be really good, and it did! Unfortunately my expectations weren't met... We reach ...  Read the complete review

Cloverfield (film only review) Wanting to build our small DVD collection up a little as compared to most peoples collections, ours looked miniscule; I took a visit to the CEX shop which deals with second hand traded DVD's and games. After flicking through some titles, I came across 'Cloverfield' for only £2.00, and ...  Read the complete review

Monster! There's a great big monster! And oh look. It's in New York. The current hotspot for all monsters, disasters and sassy rom-coms. Location included, Cloverfield delivers every monster invasion cliché you could imagine, from the screaming army commanders in their billowing plastic tents, to unnecessary missions to rescue damsels in ...  Read the complete review

OK, I watched this for the first time last night. Adn what can I say about it really? It was.... OK. I was intrigued because of the way it was filmed, but wasn't bothered seeing it at the cinema. It's all filmed by one guy with his hand-held camera. It's quite an effective way of filming it, as you feel like you are there ...  Read the complete review

If there hadn't already been a remake of the classic science fiction thriller, Godzilla, then this deficient monster movie, would unquestionably find an enthusiastic audience, despite the fact that it is perhaps one of the most improbable Sci Fi fantasy films ever to have been produced and by such an accomplished movie creator J.J ...  Read the complete review

This is a review of the 2008 film 'Cloverfield' Directed by Matt Reeves. I saw the trailer in the cinema, thought 'I have to see that!' then totally forgot about it.

Cloverfield is a unique science fiction/fantasy movie released in 2007 and is okay without ever being spectacular and doesn't have too much of a plot to be honest with you. I watched it a while back now on DVD. The movie stars a few perhaps not quite household names as the main characters, including Lizzy Chaplan, Jessica Lucas, T.J. ...  Read the complete review

There was a heck of a lot of marketing for this movie when it launched in 2008. The teaser ads seemed very intriguing- depicting an unknown force destroying New York City, being seen from a first person viewpoint on a hand held video camera . Who wouldn't want to see a new big budget monster movie? We haven't had any of those since the ...  Read the complete review

Now I must mention, when I first became aware of this film and watched a few of the trailers I thought I'd give it a miss. I'm not into all this hand held camera business, especially not when watching a film at the cinema, it just messes my head up. But a few months ago I ended up watching this anyway, so here is what I ...  Read the complete review

I have to admit, documentary style, shaky cam movies have never really impressed me in general. There was Blair Witch Project which famously started the whole thing but I thought that movie was just a complete waste of time. I had seen a few others since then but never really took a liking to them so imagine my ...  Read the complete review

I remember seeing the teaser trailers for this film several months, maybe even up to a year before its release. The teaser looked like a home video of a party, when something causes loud bangs and panic erupts, then we eventually see the Statue of Liberty's head rolling down a New York City street. It was frustrating that the trailer did ...  Read the complete review

Clover Fields is a unique style of film, publicised by viral marketing the film gained a reputation for itself before it was released in the cinema. I had heard mixed reviews but decided to give the dvd a go and it was a good watch. The interesting element is that it is filmed in the style of a home movie which starts out ...  Read the complete review

note: also appears in part on The Student Room and Flixster Cloverfield is really one of the greatest examples of viral marketing at its best - the film originally appeared in July 2007 with Transformers, with a short trailer showing an unseen creature destroying New York City. All we were given was the release date, and the ...  Read the complete review

Cloverfield unleashed itself on the world in 2007 by utilising viral marketing online and in theatres. The pre-release hype had been no guarantee of success, as shown by other viral-marketed films like Snakes on a Plane, but judging by almost two hundred million dollars in gross revenue, on a meagre twenty-five million budget, it was a ...  Read the complete review
