So I watched the Cloverfield films. The first one I have seen before but the two sequels I just seen for the first time. My thoughts.
Cloverfield - 5/10
I actually enjoyed this more the second time around. Upon seeing this when it was new I did not like it. Now I just think of as an watchable film but Im still not a fan. I like the premise enough but I think this should have gone with an R rating. The PG-13 kinda waters it down. Basically it a OK monster/alien film.
10 Cloverfield Lane - 6/10
I had some issues with this film. Really this felt like it should be its own film and not related to Cloverfield. It would have had people guess more on the outcome. Also I wanted some more back story with John Goodman and his "daughter". They do share enough but personally I wanted more. However I like this one more than the first because it had better more interesting characters and it felt pretty intense at times. John Goodman gives a great performance as well.
The Cloverfield Paradox - 2/10
OK this one I did not like at all. Each had a very different feel to them and that could be a original and positive thing. However The Cloverfield Paradox just felt like a very dull space film. It felt like a Prometheus spin off. Its defiantly more complex than the first two films but I was just flat out bored during this film. I didnt care about anything. I kept looking at how much time I had left. I did get a kick out of the guy who loses an arm and it does not worry him that much. Hell he cracks jokes about it not to long after. This one was a chore to watch.
So what did you all think of the Cloverfield films?
