Cloverfield Ratings & Reviews
- Johan PotgieterDecember 11, 2025In my opinion this is one of the best found footage movies ever. I love the camera work and the characters. I watch it every few years and I'm never disappointed. Best in it's genre.
- Freddie RodriguezOctober 12, 2025It's surprising how much of this film still holds up. The acting is convincing and the special effects don't look silly. All the handcam angles seem to be natural and if you told me the actor was holding the camera, I would believe you.
- Kevin WardJuly 2, 2025Kids loved Godzilla Minus One, so I thought maybe they would get on with this one. I was kind of surprised they didn’t like the film itself all that much. My youngest really didn’t like the found footage aspect and my oldest really didn’t like the ending. But I have to say that after talking about the thematics of Godzilla being a representation of a nuclear bomb a few weeks ago, they were interested in scouring for the theme behind the movie here and very quickly latched onto 9/11 without prompting. W for my kids. And then my daughter started looking into what King Kong represents (that’s going to be a long convo). But it’s like it’s unlocked a new dimension of film appreciation for them which is cool. Wait to they find out it’s not just kaiju that can have deeper thematic symbolism.

- Ethen HarrelsonAugust 17, 2025Inspired by Blair witch? The found footage is such a great movie style. Love it!
- pipanniJuly 22, 2025A 'found footage' movie with a big budget, "Cloverfield" works for me because at its heart is a romance movie. The hero is on a quest to save his loved one and nothing will divert him, not even a big monster tearing up the city. The only sour note is that the lead actor could be a whole lot more convincing, since most of the cast is.
- bigbyronJuly 12, 2025I love found footage. i watch it all. i havent watched this movie in years, and was pleasantly suprised when i rewatched it. if you love found footage, this movie is for you
