I loved it. One of the few "scary" movies that actually engaged me emotionally. The POV really made this happen. Had it been done in the normal monster movie style, I'd have been rooting for the monster, not the people.

As has been suggested by others cloverfield its not purely about the movie and if you just go see the movie your missing a big part of what its all about.
Though cloverfield has the potential to be seriously over hyped thus killing its success simply because viral marketing isn't as clean as more traditional marketing campaigns where the marketing companies can tone things down when the hype gets out of hand the key to viral marketing is providing the right amount of info previous attempts have often offered too much info leading to excessive hype, in cloverfields case I think the tight restriction on info even after the release is causing hype that's both good and potentially dangerous to the movie.
After all whats the biggest question ratting around the movie goers mind both before and after the movie what the heck is the monster. There's clues there but anyone with an imagination can turn them into a variety of possibles. Also not defining the monster (at least to the public audience) means that there is massive potential for a sequel or even full development of a franchise based around this concept. Though one thing I find intriguing is that Hasbro won't apparently be shipping figures of the monster until sept 30th, why then when most of the potential marketing hype will have dropped off relying mostly on pre-orders.

Saw the movie, and absolutely loved it! Im a big monster dork anyhow, but besides that, to anyone who saw it did you guys think Half Life 2 as well?
Besides that there were some great lines from Hud, he's the comic relief. Beth - "What was that!" Hud - "Oh you know, same old thing, monster in the stairwell." 8)
Lilly - "What kind of thing was that!" Hud - "A BAD THING!"
The monster is completely original with a hint of Half Life 2 thrown in. Accompanied by exploading annoying women and you get a great flick, enjoy it everyone.

Replace a ghost with a Giant monster thingy.
Replace woods with a city.
Director needs to get a little more creative, felt like i was watching Blair witch V2.

Ending was ok. Big thing was more like a walking octopus. Small things were like hybrid face huggers/arachnids.

hmm, saw it tonight
very glad I paid exactly zero to watch; what a waste of time (and I ff'd thru 30 minutes of it)
garbage, tbh 
I'm glad for those that enjoyed it, but I personally was totally unimpressed....

EVE really doesnt have set goals, its a freeform sandbox - yes a sandbox with kids that occasionally take a dump in it, but a sandbox never the less.

Best movie i've seen in years. Maybe, best one i've ever seen... At least in the top. Never been so impressed with a movie before...
SPOILER!
----------------------
I really liked how they leave stuff open, like how it ends or what actually happened in the first place. At least they weren't afraid to thoroughly confuse people :)

I saw it and was pleasently surprised. The film is not your typical action/horror/monster film, and feels almost indy at parts. The camera jitter is not nearly as bad as many would have you believe, although I had to briefly close my eyes for a bit on some of the obnoxiouslly fast hand panning situations.
There were two things that nearly killed it for me though:
**** SPOILERS ****
First, was the towers. If you've seen the film, you know what I'm talking about. Just... no. Towers don't "fall" like that, and nobody would do what they did. The entire "luls save the gf" thing felt very contrived.
Second, was the JDAMing of the monster. Those pressure shockwaves would burst its cells at the molecular level - it doesn't matter how much armor you have, or how resilient you are, you die. You can somewhat write off the M1A2 sabbot rounds as just having massive over penetration with no real exit wound.
************
Overal, I was very impressed. I didn't expect much from the movie, but it really managed to surprise me.
