Eight things I think now I finally saw Cloverfield

1: The acting was good. Then again, how hard is it for annoyingly attractive annoying Abercrombie models to act whiny and serf serving?

2: The Whole ‘Monster of mystery’ thing was pretty well handled, barring one of the most gratuitous money shots ever. Seriously, I expected it to reel off the url for some obscure porn site afterwards.

3: With all the influence that J.J Abrams pulls from videogames, you think he could make the ones he lends his IP’s to not suck…

4: Speaking of which, I didn’t feel motion sick at all.

Videogames! Finally they’re doing something for me other then ruining my skin and social skills!

5: Mountain Dew.

6:. A couple of times I just wished that the view would shift a little to the left. This, surprisingly enough, was indicative of what was good about the film: The Script and Direction made the film wonderfully claustrophobic.

7: Hudd? HUD? He’s controlling everything! How subliminally witty.

Am I an idiot and everyone else knew this ages ago?

8: Good to know that there’s still room for moody monologues and exposition whilst New York is under attack from a giant monster.
