DadReaction: Cloverfield

It got me, I loved it. They never break the premise: You’re seeing the whole thing with this handheld and you never find out anything else, you just see what’s on the tape. It really wrapped me up. I loved the music.
But you know, I told somebody about it the next day and he said his daughter said it was the worst movie she’d ever seen in her entire life. And that she’d read somewhere that on the sneak preview cards, the only grades the movie got were either As or Fs.
If you don’t “go with it” you’re going to be thinking “Who cares?” To me, it was very believable. The desperation of some of these people, and the fights… woah, look out. I thought it was just so effective.
