That complaint along with complaints about the camera work which was integral to the story.

It seems like the only people who hate Cloverfield are the people that need everything wrapped up in a nice little box with a bow on top, meaning dumb people with no imagination. The only criticism I've heard so far (online, not critics) is, "Me no understand concept of big movie and shoe untied, mommy."

Wow, I thought I was the only one getting motion sickess from Cloverfield! It was still really really well done though. I had really low expectations for it (the boyfriend dragged me to it) and I was surprised at how into it I was. I'm blaming it on the terrific special effects.

deadflowers -- agreed, I loved it! though some moments were pretty nausea-inducing.

Hey bluejar: I saw Diary of the Dead in September at the Toronto Film Festival. Don't get me wrong--it isn't awful. It's just not as good as it could have been were it not tied to the silly handheld gimmick.

I went to a midnight showing of Cloverfield - it was excellent. Highly recommended. Folks who hate handheld cameras will despise the movie though.
