Much better if one sees Cloverfield 2008 before seeing 10 Cloverfield Lane? Would you say it is required?
And how is 10 Cloverfield Lane?

10 is getting good ratings, altho here is one reviewer that thinks original Cloverfield was much better.

Thought a thread was already made on this by Thread or Blake but durned if the search turns up any.

Wasn't me. Seems I recall trying to watch it but 30 minutes in the shaky camera was just too annoying. If I'm thinking of the right flick

It was me. The original is good, especially upon repeat viewings, which are required if you want to get a holt of this materiel. It is a nightmare premise. He tromps up out of the Hudson Bay and just tears thru the city. We're not inundated with views of him, but, we're given enough to want more.

"Pacific Rim" picked this up a bit with their treatment, but, PR has no heart to it. And it is a shame. "Cloverfield," thru the use of video recording(s) provide this link twixt us & them.

I'm going to see this new one at the IMAX next week.

Just out of curiosity where is the thread?
I punched Cloverfield in the search box and zippo.

Last time JJ pulled this it was for Super 8 and I thought it would have some connection with Cloverfield so I went and saw it in the movies and was disapointed. This one looks like it may be on that same path as well where it has a subtle connection to the original but turns out to be nothing.

The original was too gimmicky. Hard to suspend disbelief enough to go along with someone recording all of that as it's happening. This one looks better.

10 Cloverfield Lane Is Fun But It’s Not in the Same League as Cloverfield (http://io9.gizmodo.com/10-cloverfield-lane-is-fun-but-it-s-not-in-the-same-lea-1764292909)

10 Cloverfield Lane is a "spiritual" successor to the first one.. no requirement to see the first

i've been waiting for cloverfield sequel since i saw the first one. but i've been reading that 10 cloverfield lane isn't that. so idk whether to see it or just look up spoilers. didn't really care for the trailer to it...

I never saw the original... but this movie had its own identity and didn't seem like a sequel, prequel, or anyhting of that sort tbh.

Saw it last night. Entertaining movie despite the odd ending.

Has absolutely nothing to do with the first film.

Goodman was great, tbh.

idk if i could recommend it. i did very much like how it kept you on the edge. i'm pissed about there being no association to the original ? i was looking forward to a cloverfield sequel for a long time. this seemed like it would be a side story in that universe...

spoiler-ish...

so john goodman's character spent his whole life preparing to have to live like that for an uncertain amount of time... and then makes an area vital to his survival unreachable to him :lol

sure, he probably some sort of hazmat suit... but what if he had been unable to go outside at all?

serious question, what was the fucking point of putting "Cloverfield" in the title? Are they trying to make it like a new Twilight Zone thing or a "National Lampoons" thing where it's just different stories from the same genre but no connection?

You are the biggest complainer titty baby on here.

Every post starts out, "why fucking" this? Or "what fucking" that?

You sound like a 70 year old man with leaky diapers and an ax to grind with the world.

I seem to recall "Cloverfield" was the fake name Hollywood gives films they ship so they don't gather unwanted attention. This one stuck.

This film has nothing on the first installment of these types of JJ Abram's films. For different reasons though. It had its moments. Too little of the sci fi stuff, too much of on-his-last-few-months obese paranoid Goodman who I'd liken to be like Avante.

Solid B movie. 6.5/10

You'll be annoyed. In fact, if someone tried to explain to me that this was a good flick I'd go into this mode.

All that for the shitty ending? Pssssh.
Have your zapper on double or even triple speed. You won't miss anything. I stopped a couple times to get key dialogue. That's about it.

I was disappointed as well. The first movie gives you hope that something might be redeemable in this iteration, but it falls on its face fast and Goodman alone cannot save it.

Same. This was Goodman's finest hour. You have to really be nitpicking to say the ending overshadows it.

Yeah. They should have just stopped with her seeing the ship in the sky.

My thoughts exactly!! That would've been a cool twist and perfect ending. Should've stopped there.

Not only do they screw it up by keeping the movie going, they have her blow up an alien ship with a bottle of whiskey. GTFOH

Yup.

BluRay should be re-edited, if I were in charge.

Spoiler Alert:





They should have ended it when she escaped and when she saw the space ships.

Perfect.
