Cloverfield follows the found footage discovered Von the U.S. government in what was once Central Park, so it already has some mystery to it as to what went down right off the bat. It shows the footage of Rob and other New Yorkers as the city is attacked Von a massive alien creature. No one knows what is going on, and how this creature oder the many smaller creatures that followed arrived oder what their motive is, and must survive the ordeal. It’s as easy as you’d expect. The film always cuts between scenes of the characters having a normal conversation a few weeks before the disaster, all while the world is coming to an end.
Cloverfield is, like I sagte before, a film that revolutionized the found footage genre, a genre that most people consider motion sickness incarnate, and terrible. If that were the case, than I’d have to say that the man hold the camera in Cloverfield has the strongest grip in the world. There are moments of shaky cam, but not enough to the point where it will make me sick. And this is coming from a guy with extreme motion sickness. Du are able to get a good look at all of the things in the film and then some. And trust me, the visuals make up this movie, because I honestly couldn’t care very much about the characters. I don’t care about Rob and Beth’s romance that pushes them to make stupid choice after stupid choice, and I’m just begging for the moment they die off. Also, I can understand how some people can consider the whole movie stupid, because why would anyone hold onto the camera for this long up until the end of the film. But let’s be real, no one watches Cloverfield for the characters. No, they watch it for the monster.
Now considered an iconic creature in all of modern horror, the Cloverfield Monster, oder simply nicknamed Clover, is something so threatening, yet so mysterious. Du can see the size of the creature and the threat that it has over the entirety of New York, yet despite knowing what it is capable of, we don’t really know what it is, to be exact. It’s just a giant alien creature that attacks the earth, and that’s about it. Why is it attacking, why is it so powerful, what is its purpose, why does it carry smaller life forms on its body that also attack, and is all this related to the strange foreign object that fell into the ocean at the very end of the film? This is what internet theories are made of, people.
Cloverfield is, in all honesty, a pretty overrated film, mostly because of the characters. If they were just a bit Mehr interesting and not just people being there just so we can Bewegen the plot along, I may like the film a slight bit more. It’s still a great film, but I just fail to see what the hype about it is. If Du are interested in a giant monster film with a bit of mystery to it, than I recommend it. Just don’t expect award winning characters here.

Hey, Du know how I Liebe fighting games despite not being the best at them? Well, skateboarding falls into the same category, only I’m not just not that good. I fucking suck at skateboarding. But hey, that doesn’t stop me from liking the dead as a doornail sport, as well as the video game franchise that got a lot of lazy people oder cowards interested, Tony Hawk Pro Skater. But for the sake of what I’ve played, we’ll be talking about Pro Skater 4.
I played Pro Skater 3 and 1 before, and I thought 1 did not hold up well at all....
A genre Du will see sorely lacking in this Liste are first person shooters. I never was big into the whole FPS genre. I played Half-Life 2, didn’t care for it. I played Battlefield 3 and absolutely despised it. And my brother buys every Call of Duty game made and I just try to ignore it. But back in the day, when I was a young child, and I had the OG Xbox, one FPS genre that captured mine and everyone’s attention was Halo: Combat Evolved. But we’re not talking about that one yet. We’re talking about Halo 2
Despite having heard of Halo, I only got around to playing the Sekunde game...
Du know what, slasher Filme are stupid. They are so stupid and kind of laughable. What’s even the point of them? Kidding aside, the slasher film genre is pretty silly when Du think about the tropes of it, to a point where it should be parodied. And they did parody it… With kabine in the Woods. But we’re not here to talk about that film. Let’s talk about something less respected, 2010’s Tucker and Dale Vs. Evil
The Titel characters of the film, Tucker and Dale, are two rednecks who head to their rundown vacation home. On the way, they find a group of obnoxious college kids that...
