Cloverfield was indeed a shitty movie but it could have been awesome. I hate movies where it is supposed to have been shot as it happens with a video camera. The monster was pretty good but when I pay to see a monster movie, I want to see the fucking monster, not characters that I don't care about. Also, as someone else pointed out, where did the monster come from? Shouldn't that have been mentioned? So it was stupid and painfully so but with some better editing and directing it could have been pretty good.
