I am pretty sure that you WILL be wrong, and here's why. You've never really seen a giant monster movie from the POV of Johnny NoOneGivesaFuckWhoHeIs. So far, it usually jumps from Private Bumblefuck from (Insert Country of Origin Here)'s Army, then to General WhatsHisName, then to sassy reporter girl WHO JUST WANTS TO GET THE STORY, to a random little kid with some sort of empathic bond to the monster, to HOLY CRAP HERE'S SOME SHOTS OF SOME CRAZYYYYYYY SHIT GOING ON, to (Insert Deus Ex Machina that resolves the story).
Or, you know, they give the fucking POV to Matthew Broderick, who knows a bit about giant scaly monsters because he goes home to Sarah Jessica Parker every night.
It'll be interesting to the see the carnage of a giant monster in NYC from some random fucktards who would probably do what we'd do in that situation.
"lulz guis, lez go and look at the giant monztar's ballz heheheheheheheheheheeee"
Well, I like the idea of using the perspective of the random fucktard, however I object to the shaky-cam style that the (as far as I can tell) entire film uses.
We will see how it pans out. I'm still excited to see what happens and I can have a good time even if the movie is universally terrible.
JJ has some good stuff out there, but I wouldn't put it past him to let slip a lousy monster film that doesn't do anything to expand the genre.
For me, one of the things that separates the do-it-yourself style of YouTube videos is production value, including expert cinematography. To purposely aim for a "homemade" shaky-cam feel seems to be throwing a large part of the experience away.
I'm curious, would a movie like this really make you vomit? I remember hearing how people did puke during the Blair Witch because of the shaky video and the large screens in the theater.
But you guys also need to remember that this isn't just some random RTF graduate who went out there and made a movie, it was made/filmed by professionals

So far, I'm giving JJ and Cloverfield the benefit of the doubt. I hope I am proven wrong. Just as a note, assuming something sucks before I experience it is mostly my default position when it comes to media, especially when I know very little about it
