Saw Cloverfield over the weekend. Ugh. If only the rumors had been true and this had been a Cthulhu film or a stealth Godzilla film.
But no, what we’ve got here is Friends Get Stomped or maybe How I Met Your Monster. Self-indulgent twenty-somethings in confusing relationships do a lot of running and expressing their angst, and then they die. Yawn. I half expected the military to stop the monster by detonating a Prozac bomb.
The scenes with the monster were fairly cool, if all too brief. Hopefully the sequel will be something like Cloverfield vs. Mecha-Cloverfield rather than some ridiculous Dr. Phil-esque “oh look, its really about 9/11 and the things that are really important in our lives” bullshit therapy piece.
There are rumors that the sequel will have mecha clover will appear. The new clover will fight the old mechanical clover
