I really liked it, so I guess I'm in the minority here.

Glad to hear it sounds as bad as I thought it was going to be. We didn't go see it actually because I get motion sick with the annoying jerky camera stuff that has become so popular these days (Unfortunately I got really sick in Borne #3....it has gotten worse as I get older). Anyway...I didn't think the previews looked too great...and was afraid of the jerky camera stuff being through out the movie. Glad to hear I didn't waste money! I'll tell my hubby to go see it w/out me if he feels the desire...I'll pass and wait for the DVD :-)
Movies are really funny. You never know who is going to like what. I was very curious as to what this movie was like, especially the monster. I was not disappointed at all. I found the movie incredibly entertaining. The way it was shot added a lot to the story for me. It felt as if you were there. I thought the creature was amazing. I can see more movies spawning from this..a sequel...a preguel...who knows. This is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. The again, I don't mind the shaky camera thing. Everyone has different tastes. I think the most successful movie of all times may have been Titanic? (at least one of the most). Millions of people must have loved this movie. I thought it was an unwatchable steaming pile of crap. I guess you never know until you watch it.
You know, I'm pretty good with motion sickness unless I'm on the wheelie at Six Flags or something...no spinning here, please. John, you're funny, man. I too, think Titanic is an 'unwatchable steaming pile of crap'. Except for the very end, when Leo sinks from the makeshift raft and DIES. Other than that part, I've not seen anything else of the movie to this day....perhaps we'll do as Wilbret suggests and see a matinee...this is my problem you see, as a Libra I am INCREDIBLY indecisive...frustrating!!

Leo dying in Titanic...yeah... that still brings a smile to my face. Laurie, you are my kind of woman.
I don't usually say this about too many movies, but the big screen really added to the feel of this movie. I think the whole shaky camera thing willl either enhance this movie or make you sick and ruin it.
I took my kids to see Alvin and the Chipmunks the next day. Now that was a scary movie. Gave me nightmares night.

WHAT??!! You didn't dig Alvin, Simon, The-ODORE!! Doo,do...duh,dooda,do...doo,do...duh,dooda,do!!! I don't know man, I dig 'My Name is Earl' and all, Jason Lee's a pretty funny dude...had the Chipmunks Christmas album back in the day as well.
I think it would have been a good movie if they had not stuck with the shaky camera effect. We get it, it was shot from a hand held camera. It was just too much and ruined the movie for me. Just like movies can go from full screen to widescreen without you noticing, I think they could have transitioned the effect and not gone so overboard with it.
The movie itself wasn't bad, but hardly worthy of best ever in my mind. I'm glad they didn't make it any longer than it was, which was about 74 minutes + 15 minutes of credits.
For once, I'd like a movie to just be a freakin' movie and not a franchise. Sequels and prequels and trilogies are starting to piss me off.
The thing that's starting to really suck is that no new ideas are coming out. I mean "I am Legened" is pretty much the same as 28 Days later and The Eye that's coming out is like Final Destenation where they see the deathes happen before they happen oh and One Missed Call is like The Ring only it's a phone call not a video tape. Lame it is.
