I'm curious to see what all the hubub is about concerning this movie. I'm amazed that they've done such a good job of preventing photos from leaking out.

Maybe it really is me! Although that would be weird because I don't remember filming it.

You know, the last Godzilla movie created a huge amount of hype by not showing Godzilla in the trailers or posters. They just showed his foot. Cloverfield, which I assume has some big Godzilla-like monster, seems to be using the same sort of marketing. It works to pack people into theaters that first weekend, but as we saw with Godzilla, the best marketing in the world won't keep your movie from being a flop if it sucks. This movie has so much buzz around it that it'll have to be one of the greatest sci-fi/horror films of all time to live up to the hype.

Since the budget on this movie is a fraction of what was spent on Godzilla 98, I don't think it has to be a blockbuster to be considered a success. Plus, since it's not Godzilla, there isn't a preconceived notion of what the monster should look/act like.

This movie scares me.....and not because of the content, but because of the same reason rictor said......anyone remember Independence Day? That trailer was amazing, I mean a ufo blowing up the white house, how awesome is that? Then the movie turned out to be poop........I'm afraid this movie may be the same way.
