i really liked cloverfield... the only two complaints i have about the movie is that they tell you how/when it ends at the very beginning (before the video actually starts and they're doing the intro-credits, they have text taht says the video we're about to see was recovered from section xxxx, formerly known as central park. kinda lets you know that whoever filmed it is no longer in possession of it as of a scene in central park. and once you get there, the ending came a bit too quick for my tastes).
the other complaint is that the story is sooooo much bigger than what they show. i love the style and POV that they used, but the lives of characters are really the highlight, when the story is much much bigger than them. i would have been much happier if they'd just ended it with a text-crawl telling us some info on how humanity won the war (which it must have since they managed to find the camera in the rubble, which indicates reconstruction). the story of the friends, and specifically the guy (josh or soemthing?) and beth is just a small chapter in the larger story, i wish there were more.
