Just been to see Cloverfield...

... I'm fairly certain the monsters (and I use the term loosely here) were meant to have a different effect than me smirking and giggling at them.

Dont feel so bad - I saw 'I am legend' , what complete pants that was. I'll heed your warning on cloverfield, even the trailers look cheesy.

I'm still gonna give Cloverfield a go, but I agree about I Am Legend.

Will Smith should hang his head in shame!

I'll say this about it - at least it was short.

It's not bad, it's just not really anything, not even special, it's just, well, 90 minutes of Handycam.

I'll admit to having not been that well up on all the internet gumph about it - or even the regular reviews - but for that I'm thankful as then I may have been in for a severe dissapointment.
As it was I was just, simply, unimpressed.

Yeah - it had it's moments, some OK editiing (though a bit predictable on the cheese/schmaltz original film cut-ins), but seriously - for gribblies that were supposed to be so suspenseful to be making squeaky/gurgle noises straight out of some cartoon - I couldn't help laughing...

... and I'm sure I wasn't supposed to be doing that. So for me it hit well wide of the mark.

Actually, the comparison to I am Legend is a good one - good suspense that deflates poorly.

not seen it? saw a trailer and that was bad enough...
as for I am a leg end... was ok but, I'll not be watching it again...

now as for Beemovie... I'll just say,

i'll get my coat.

Thought I am Legend was pretty good, if not a bit abrupt in its ending.

Just watched 300. Wasnt too keen on that.
