Enter producer Peter Jackson and director Neill Blomkamp... [more]

Just saw it. The only way that this movie is going to do well is that is was shot in the style of the Blair Witch project. To have filmed it any other way, it would have been just another monster attacking a big american city. However, Godzilla owns that genre.

The hand held camera mode was very annoying to me. After 5 minutes, I wanted the yet to be seen monster to violate repeatedly the guy who was filming this movie. I found myself not caring if the characters lived or died. Many times , I could not tell what in the name of Godzilla was going on. As for as the movies attempt to put the audience in the shoes of the characters, I would never done some of the stupid idiotic things that these people did in an attempt to flee. The women all continued to wear their high heel part shoes while fleeing the monster.

The monster on the other hand appeared to be the prodigny of the copulation between a giant prehistoric sloth and and some sort of amhibian. The monster also drops little animals on the ground that appear to be alaskan king crabs. There are alo people size monsters, but we only get a small peak at them. Finally, the monster causes the military to distroy manhattan which finally stops the annoying hand held camera routine. At that point the monstyer became my hero.
