It was worth it just to see him dancing around at the end. As for the movie, it was stupid and funny. You have to really have an open mind when watching it and then check it out at the door to enjoy it. Cloverfield was pretty good. It smacked of Blair Witch and I cannot stand the whole camcorder fuzziness. Good monster though! Kevin Sorbo still looks Fabulous! It was worth it just to see him dancing around at the end.

I was happy that they showed the monster at all. What made everyone think Cloverfield was a monster movie? I was happy that they showed the monster at all.

I think word of mouth is killing this because it just didn't deliver on expectations. In a monster movie the monster is supposed to be on screen more than 3 minutes.

Although I laughed about five times during the film, "Meet the Spartans" has to be the all-time worst parody I've ever seen.
