which one should I see? I've read **** reviews on both on this board of movie "critics" ,so I'm not sure. Sounds like they're both bad I'm not expecting a masterpiece from either one, just to be entertained. I like movies like these for what they are, nothing more. thanks.
I'm guessing that since the movie came out, I'm not under my "confidetiality agreement" any more so I can finally offer my opinion. Cloverfield is 70 minutes of shakey camera. It's ok, but it's short for a reason. Hell, we had two people get ill because of motion sickness at the sneak. The monster's cool, but it really looks like they got all the actors from an Abercrombie commercial. I'd personally say matinee at best, and more likely a rental. I prefer more for $8 than 70 minutes.
I really enjoyed Legend, but it's not for everyone. I would say that if you liked Cast Away, you'll like Legend. It's nothing like the book though, in case you've read it.
Go see I am Legend. I saw Lengend about 3 weeks ago and saw Cloverfield last night. Legend still has me thinking and I'm anxious for it to come out on DVD. Cloverfield doesn't leave much for thought, but it was worth the $8.75.
