Talk about crapping all over an initial gem

I think all of us just wanted a sequel taking place directly after Operation Hammerdown in New York City, so we could see what happened with the monster and where it went after the city was destroyed. It didn't even have to be found footage, though that does compliment the horror aspect of the first movie.

So far it feels like we've just seen a few filler sequels, while still waiting for the main event, almost 10 years later.

Aesthetically, series just don't cut it... The beauty and pleasure of the original is that it is a tight, human perspective take on the genre... a standalone movie... Making it a series of movies, just adds bloat and removes any mystery and confuses the themes of the film...

The monster gets explained away, the aftermath gets explained away... and no one cares of feels anything about the original characters and their journey from ambivalent friends and lovers to being true to what they really want during this existential threat... Instead it is a nerdy trivial puzzle of how the films connect to one another...

The second movie (10 Cloverfield Lane) suffers even more, as the title itself removed a lot of the ambiguity that was supposed to add to the suspense and the movie has no resolution and meaning... it is without point within itself and you get the sense that it simply allows for more serialised stories...

Explanations aren't scary, the Cloverfield monster in the first works because we have no idea what is going on or what it's nature is and what it looks like... The movie stays with you long after leaving the theatre because we don't have all the answers... The mystery is interesting and is cool...

Puzzle explanation movies aren't mysterious, nor are they cool... As forgettable as any miscelanious TV episode from a random show...

Typical JJ Abrams "everything will be answered" piece of garbage. Hasn't anyone learned that this guy can't tell a story? My understanding is that he produced but didn't direct CLOVERFIELD.

At least 10 CLOVERFIELD LANE was an entertaining, tense and likeable film that can be a stand-alone. I didn't really care that it wasn't related necessarily to CLOVERFIELD, although it could have been. It's always plausible that alien invaders could have unleased a gigantic creature that's some sort of bio-weapon on New York City. Like I state, that's plausible.

THE CLOVERFIELD PARADOX is just a throw-anything-at-the-screen, disposable movie that is again patterned with JJ Abrams's no talent fingerprints. What a colossal waste of a potentially interesting plot. This guy can't tell a story.

welcome to the business of hollywood.

There is so many films that were good just to have a straight to video sequel release with unknowns.

Many times bad movies straight to video with even lower level sequels.

The original was a mess of nauseating shaky cam.

I thought it was entertaining enough, Elizabeth Debicki was really the only one who made it enjoyable to me.
