“Cloverfield” Review

Cloverfield — The Blair Witch version of Godzilla. Passable entertainment for what it is: a monster movie full of beautiful people running and screaming — all through a single hand-held home video. We get glimpses of the monster destroying Manhattan, but the scares and thrills are fairly tame; frightening isn’t the word for it. More like indifference. Seeing how it’s supposed to be a video tape, it would probably play just as well on a TV (i.e., it’s a rental).
