I agree. I liked it without thinking it was any kind of masterpiece. It'll be interesting to see if they turn the whole Cloverfield thing into a loose mythos. I hope they do.

Again, I submit to you this pic from the movie (which convinced me to watch in the first place);
^^ Is that not fucking COOL as hell?! |
In the right hands it could've been pretty good. Spielberg would've made the family tensions more fun than irritating/cliched, while someone like Tim Burton could've done something far more interesting with the Krampus myth.
And yeah, that pic suggests a far better film than we actually got.
Also watched ...

I really liked it even though nothing about it is actually that good. In fact it's pretty terrible, but really
really enjoyable.
