I went during the day @12:15 pm. I went to avoid the stupid teenage girls. I still got stuck with 2 of them behind me. They were giggling when a certain someone pops. I was like... "wtf? thats funny?"

For the record, I am one of those very, very few who did not hate TBWP, and I enjoyed â€œCloverfieldâ€

I posted this at another site:

Sometimes we over analyze movies and look for too much within them. Sometimes films just need to be viewed as they are presented and nothing more, this was one of those times.

Didn't get caught up in the pre-hype but this film is very good and presents probably the most "realistic" version of a monster attack on a city.

The story is simple, during a party a unknown creature appears in New York and proceeds to lay waste to the city while a group of the party goers attempt to flee and rescue their friend.

I thought the military action was as close to believable as I've seen in a monster film. I enjoyed the fact that the creature isn't shown in it's full glory, I thought the news coverage was realistic and while it was hard at times to see the images on screen I enjoyed the camcorder angle.

The creature looked like a twisted slim version of Orga from Godzilla 2000.

I thought the film captured the terror and the panic of people and their fright of the unknown when something suddenly happens and you must react.

Was there a hidden message in the film, maybe a 9/11 reference? Who knows,all I know is that while this isn't the greates film or monster movie made, it did what it set out to do and that was deliver and entertain.

Oh, Giacchino's Roar! is a perfect tribute to the old monster movies and a very nice tip of the hat to Akira Ifukube. When the end credits started I leaned over to my son and said that sounds like Ifukube, he had a big smile and nod in agreement.

There were a couple of times my wife had to look away and settle herself from the constant camera movement.
