Massive failure.


I am not sure whether or not I should've been aware that this is one part in a multimovie story, but the fact is I wasn't. I was expecting one and a half hour of thrill and teleportation and got way less than I expected.


Sure, it looked badass. Certainly not something you see every day. The special effects are phenomenal, the story weak and filled with plotholes, ah whatever.


It would have been way better had there been an end to it.

You either love this movie or you don't. Terms such as originality do not apply to this movie. You can't judge it for not being something it's not trying to be. The movie's purpose is to provide a thrilling experience akin to a rollercoaster. A...

You either love this movie or you don't. Terms such as originality do not apply to this movie. You can't judge it for not being something it's not trying to be. The movie's purpose is to provide a thrilling experience akin to a rollercoaster. A rollercoaster that does nothing but pull corkscrews. It succeeds per definition, but whether you like this form of excitement is wholly dependent on perspective. Yes, the "Monster Attacks City" story has been done plenty of times, but not like this. The handycam method is perfected from its use in The Blair Witch Project, and it does not just serve to make things pretty. It's an active part of the cinematic experience and it effectively succeeds in pulling the viewer into the story.

Words aren't going to change anything, they aren't going to convince someone to watch or not watch the movie, and if they do they undermine the entire concept of Cloverfield. The movie is a **** but only so you can see whether or not you will appreciate this new genre of film.

Didn't people love this movie? I heard so many good things about this, so many people who wanted to see the new TMNT movie. Cause, you know, you played with the toys when you were little, played the videogames, hell, maybe you even dressed up as...

Didn't people love this movie? I heard so many good things about this, so many people who wanted to see the new TMNT movie. Cause, you know, you played with the toys when you were little, played the videogames, hell, maybe you even dressed up as Splinter. God knows..
Yet when I finally got off my lazy butt to watch this socalled masterpiece, did I feel fooled. It's terrible. The special effects are to cry for. Honestly, did they budget the CGI part cause the movie was going to sell anyhow? If you were to watch the first Toy Story now, you'd love it, but you'd had to admit the CGI sucks for this day and age. Well, TMNT is even worse, and it's ten years older!
The story itself might have been nice had it been a classic animation film. It's just another TNMT story. I mean, honestly, it's much more enjoyable to see them in a classic animation movie or in a live action one.
This wasn't necessary.

Best Harry Potter movie so far!
Not that that is difficult to accomplish, since the previous movies weren't all that awesome. They might be nice if you've never read the books, but they're going to be a huge letdown if you have. They were...

Best Harry Potter movie so far!
Not that that is difficult to accomplish, since the previous movies weren't all that awesome. They might be nice if you've never read the books, but they're going to be a huge letdown if you have. They were for me. This movie especially has a knack for leaving things out, and shortening other factors in. Even changing some major events. Cho Chang did not rat on Dumbledore's Army, George and Fred's escape from Hogwarts should have been much more fireworkish, and the final battle was nothing like in the books. No, Sirius did not get cursed by the death spell. This. Is. A. Lie. To put it the way Umbridge likes to put it.
But aside from all these complaints, it's always great to see Hogwarts, and to see other aspects of the book come to live. Albeit in a somewhat altered state.

It really isn't all that great of a movie, but if you've read the books and watched every other Harry Potter movie, this is part of the routine. Can't miss it.
