George here, i feel like i need to expand my thoughts a bit more:
1. first things first, its just my opinions. i am a nobody, and my opinions do not matter and in no way is an attack on how you feel about this movie.
2. i loved the first 90%. the final 10% pulled me out completely because it felt like a sudden genre change, especially so after learning the movie was meant to be a standalone film called The Cellar and the ending was indeed added on to make it fit a different franchise.
3. i did not at the time believe and want to believe Howard to be correct for a few reasons, first is that he kept talking about gas and airborne attacks, and having seen the first movie and saw that it was just a big land/ocean monster with no gas attack, i reasoned (with as much info as i had at the time) that he was lying full on. but secondly, i also just dont really want a kidnapper and murderer to be right. however, i understand a bad guy can be right, which brings to the last issue I had with Howard. which is that the reason he is right, is because of point number 2, that the reveal of his correctness is entirely tacked on for the sake of franchise building. which soured it for me.
I may be in the minority. But, i'm glad you said what you did about the ending. it parrots alot of my thoughts/feelings on it also. If you were to brainlessly say "i liked it" without giving your honest opinion, it would have came off as weird and disingenuous. I personally appreciate the honesty, and its one of the main reasons i love this channel.
In the original script, Michelle escapes the shelter and is chased through the farmhouse by Howard, who still wants to “protect” her. She blinds him with bathroom cleaner, he tells her about his tragic life (dead wife, missing daughter, treacherous Nate, etc.), and then she shoots him in the kneecap and runs away. He ends the movie alive, entreating Michelle to “be careful.” Later, after traveling down empty roads and finding no one around to help her, she crests a hill and sees the Chicago skyline, smoldering and destroyed. No explanation is given. We don’t even know what she will do next, only that she now knows that Howard, for all his oddity, was correct
The same thing was done with the Netflix film The Cloverfield Paradox. The ending felt forced to put the film in this "universe".
Other than the ending, the rest of the movie was pretty good.
And on a separate note, John Goodman scared the hell out of me in this film. 😱. Such an amazing actor
@@jasonbangerter6437 Paradox was made to connect the universes in a multiverse
I never really saw it as proving him right, I always thought it was just a disparity in information for the villain to create an unreliable narrative. When the reveal happens it’s like she’s finally free from the control he held over the truth which he maliciously used to his advantage. I think you could make two endings and have the overall message be the same
Aliens don’t hate corn, they hate water. They graffiti corn.
2 things can be true at the same time. Goodman was right but also crazy.
yep. i just wish a woman killer wasnt right. especially since the reveal that hes right is a by product of JJ forcing the original movie "the cellar" to fit into the cloverfield franchise.
@@CineBingeReact nope, even in the original script he was right.
@@CineBingeReact If it's any solace, there's a theory that Emmett was actually the one who killed Howard's daughter.
If you re-watch the sequence where Michelle climbs through the access duct, then discovers the message scratched onto the window, you may notice some seeming lapses in logic that point to, perhaps... another instance of Howard being correct in his suspicions.
@@sampletexttablet8558yeah there was some confirmation bias. He assumed the ending was completely different rather than had a couple little things added, and when he found information confirming there were reshoots added, jumped to the conclusion there were about 15 minutes made. If that whole thing were reshot, we would have probably seen at least one of the creatures from the first movie
@@CineBingeReact him killing women and being prepared for attack (he wasn’t even sure of the attackers being extra terrestrial) aren’t one and the same. He was a psychopath who was paranoid with a victim complex. One of his many issues led to him murdering people, but his extreme paranoia also led to him being prepared for some sort of attack. The closest he got to guessing the aliens was “martians”. Saying “a woman killer was right” is a huge oversimplification that seems more designed to try and guilt people who enjoyed their expectations being twisted
As a fan of small details I love the shooting scene because it says a lot about How Howard was both crazy and calculating.
If you look he was wearing earplugs so he had already decided that he was going to kill someone before he walked into the room.
This also explains why he was able to speak normally but Michelle was deafened and in pain.
actually the aliens weren't one of the additions. the stuff added to the film were anything connecting it to cloverfield, like the mailbox, and the insert shot of the letter to howard from "bold Fortuna" (part of the company "Tagurato" that was responsible for Clovie getting woken up on the oceanfloor and attacking new york) but thats it.
I love the ending to this film. I actually feel it adds so much to the story. It also makes you question everything about Howard since it turned out everything he said was the truth. and I actually think he wasn't lying about Megan either. I think simone was right in that he was so distraught over the loss of his daughter that he looked for a replacement. so he really did think that was her. similar to how he couldn't refer to Mary's character as anything other then a child. all we can do is speculate on the past, but we don't actually know anything except small bit of info.
even looking at him killing emmett it gets complicated, as the lie emmett told was probably the worst possible lie he could have said to howard. he said he was going to make a weapon, in order to steal Howard's weapon. He made himself look like a threat
and he was even right about her burning the place down when his back was turned. lol
I love the ending -- maybe not in the details, but the general gist. I think it's much more interesting that Howard was right and not lying about it being what seemed like a world-ending event. The point is that even he is right about that, that doesn't justify his actions, and it doesn't mean that Michelle needs him or has to do what he says. F that guy!!! She starts the movie running away from her problems, and in the end she learns that she's completely capable of handling herself and runs toward the fight instead.
Definitely disagree about the ending... To me the fact that John Goodman is crazy AND right is what makes the movie so special.
Absolutely. People shit on the ending a lot, but they ignore the fact that Joh Goodman being "right" doesn't make him *right*.
Not to mention, it's crucial to Michelle's whole arc. Just getting out of the cellar is good, but if there'd been no invasion she would have just returned to her normal life. The one in which she runs from fights.
By having the out-of-the-fyring-pan-and-into-the-fire moment, she realizes that she actually is a "fighter" and turns *towards* the fight at the end of the film.
It's a small character arc, but it's there. And it wouldn't be without the aliens at the end.
i loved this movie and love the ending when i saw it in theatres. By the end she is safe, on the road.. and hears that one area is safe (eastern seaboard).. but then also a plea, people need help over in this other place.. and for a second she thinks about going to safety, but then decides to go where she can help fight - she just defeated two monsters.. one human, one alien spaceship.. she has the experience..
It is also the culmination of her character arc, which started with her fleeing her bf (and him accusing of always running away), to driving into literal danger.
John Goodman was incredible in this. Also, you should give Rango a watch.
"What if the woman just had melty skin?" 🤓
John Goodman is just a powerhouse. From loveable and funny (like in the underrated "King Ralph"), to borderline funny/intimidating as Walter Sobchack and downright scary like in this one. An amazing actor.
King Ralph was fine except for the insinuation that this American has to come over to stuffy Britain and teach them about rock n roll... because if there is one country that doesn't have any good rock bands it's Britain I guess...
same thing in Fallen with Denzel . John Goodman is great at being evil.
I think he's so good as a bad guy, he was good as the Cyclops character in O Brother, Where Art Tho?
He is great in Red State
@@Bobahat don't be so bitter, it's aan ugly trait.
Lmao I feel like George spent the whole movie telling himself that the threat wasn't real that he forgot it was a Cloverfield film
Nothing against George, but he tries too hard to find logic in every movie. It's what caused him to completely miss the point of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.
@@ericb9252yeah people like that are insufferable to watch movies with
The threat wasn't real in the original script. Then J.J. Abrams wanted to turn it into a Cloverfield film and they changed the ending. And nothing else.
@@aternialaffsalot That video is particularly insufferable
@@Pink.andahalf For me, I think the threat being real provides a proper twist (because if it didn't have the Cloverfield name on it, you'd fully expect Goodman's character to be making it all up)
Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s reaction to Emmet getting shot is pure acting gold. I believed Goodman shot that guy for real. Also, the alien’s mouth looked more like a lamprey than a moray eel.
"Nuts?" - Your best moment ever.
Yes! That girl gots the comedic chops! 😂
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂 I’m dead
Coffee, tea, or me?
Timestamp? Nvm it's 34:19, what a joke hahaha
I feel like telling you this was connected to “Cloverfield” was a spoiler. It would have been so much better if you could have come into this blind, instead of trying to find the connections between the two movies.
By the end the pretty much forgot, but yeah I agree.
Yeah I think part of why I love this movie is because I hadn't even heard of Coverfield when I first watched this. Had no clue that alien monsters were even a likely possibility.
the people who made the movie screwed up on that one i guess
The worst part about this movie is the title.
If you go into it not knowing it’s tied to Cloverfield, and not waiting the whole movie to see how it connects, then you’d actually be surprised at the ending and would enjoy it even more.
(Think about the ending of Split when it’s found to be in the Unbreakable universe.)
I feel lucky that I got to see this moive without knowing anything about it being connected to some alien movie. The ending floored me and it would not have had the same impact at all if I had known this. Sad that that was not the case for many others!
This is how I saw it. Never saw or knew anything about what Cloverfield was before this movie. Liked the whole thing. It would have worked better had it not been spoiled by the title for those familiar, because the whole time you'd think that Goodman was crazy/lying. Then maybe a reveal with a road/town name on a sign during the ending, or something.
@@not_me3286 exactly.
@@not_me3286 From what I've seen of descriptions of the original ending, that was pretty much how it was handled before they adapted it into the Cloverfield setting. He chases here all the way into the barn, she ends up getting her hands on one of his guns and shoots him in the kneecaps, he talks a bit about his past and warns her to "be careful" as she leaves, and as she's driving over a hill she comes to a stop and it pans out to show a burning city with ominous smoke across the skyline.
Definitely agree that a much better way to tie it into Cloverfield would've been to axe the name and just include a city name on a sign, or maybe a very brief glimpse of the monster through the smoke in the distant city. IMO giving it away before the movie even started by adding the "Cloverfield" title kind of dragged it down, and the over-the-top action set piece just felt kind of unnecessary.
The last sequence was to show character growth.
"Just a weird key"
That is a universal handcuff key, George. It's made for all models of handcuffs, be it Smith & Wesson, ASP, whatever. Anyone who has ever worked in police, security, or corrections has multiple keys of those.
The molly took out the ship because the toxic gas is flammable, you see it ignite a few small flames from Howards bunker debris as it comes over the farmhouse and expels the gas.
*I think it didn't ignite the entire cloud because it was open air and oxygen might be some kind of dispersal agent for it, or maybe it just dissolves over time*? *I'm only guessing as much since Howard probably saw the gas from the initial attack which is most likely why he still thought the air was toxic after all that time*
Meanwhile the ship itself is literally a giant capsule which probably caused the pressure to build up and explode as all its canisters ( *or whatever they used to contain the gas* ) caught on fire and ignited.
The Cloverfied movies are an anthology series. They don't really have anything in common with each other.
Overlord, a movie about Nazis creating zombies in WW2, was supposed to be a Cloverfield movie before they backed out, and it was released without the Cloverfield tag.
In other words, it's not a Cloverfield movie.
@@Rocket1377 In other words, the only thing that ties the Cloverfield movies together is marketing.
@@Eidlones kinda the third one explains what is actually going on, and why they don't feel related
@@theunfamousone2818 Might be why nobody liked that one. It went for the then-trendy cinematic universe concept when nobody asked for that.
@@patrickflanagan3762 i never said it was good, just that it explains things
Lol, I found myself also clapping in appreciation when Simone said Nuts.
I can understand that the end can be divisive, and the movie definitely could have worked without the Cloverfield universe, but one thing that I enjoyed and that you guys maybe didn't pay attention to is the evolution of the main character. A few times in the movie she is portrayed as someone who had a tendency to run away from things and by the end of the movie, when she can choose between thinking of herself and go to safety or go towards danger to help other people, she chooses to face it instead of running away. Small thing, but I liked that she had some character development.
Exactly. People who dislike the ending tend to completely ignore how important it is to Michelle's character development. In order for her final choice to make sense, she HAD to face the aliens and come out triumphant beforehand. Otherwise we don't know if her choice to go fight at the end would've been definitive or not, she could have chosen to run away again once she saw the aliens for the first time. Instead she knows what she's getting into and is making a definitive choice.
@@enriquesanchez9016Did it have to be a 10 minute action scene after they wrapped up the main story, though?
Her character arc is still the same without the added ending, it’s just not spelled out as much
@@robertyeah2259 "Her character arc is still the same" no it very much isn't. Her fighting Howard alone isn't enough, she needed to have knowledge about the alien threat before making her final choice.
And what do you mean "added ending"? It's not an "added ending" it's just the ending.
I’d love to see a film with this exact set-up, except it turns out that the person/people who took in the stranger are actually good, decent people trying to help a fellow human. In the end, it’s the stranger’s paranoia and fear that drives them to do heinous things in the name of “survival” because they just can’t accept that they are actually safe and that they really were lucky to meet decent people in an apocalypse. Doesn’t even matter if the danger is real or not, it’s more about how paranoia, fear, and distrust turn us into villains.
Your premise makes me think of Tucker and Dale Vs Evil. Just give that movie an apocalypse twist instead of the "killer rednecks" angle. Take every opportunity, just like that movie did, to have the stranger(s) mishear and misinterpret everything said or done by the Tucker and Dale type character(s).
"The Chosen" from the 2002 version of the Twilight Zone pops into mind. Others as well.
05:43 "Oh no - John Badman" - LOL
Not to be confused with John Battman from Cyanide and Happiness
I just realized that at the beginning, Goodman's character said he couldn't trust her to not burn the place down 10:12. I never noticed the foreshadowing.
another thing he was right about. lol
No need to apologize for sharing your honest feelings/opinions about the ending! While I personally enjoyed the descent into full-blown wackiness, I can *totally* understand why it might not work for some viewers. As always, I vastly prefer reactors who are open when they're disappointed/underwhelmed, instead of hedging their statements for fear of angry comments. Thanks as always! :)
I feel like that was a reaction a lot of people had to this movie (myself included). I felt the same way about Hereditary and Swiss Army Man, where I loved the movie up until about the last 15 minutes or so and I was like "Wait... This is the direction you decided to go in?" George doesn't have to apologize for anything, the point of a reaction video is voicing your opinion after all.
@@bebop_557fair enough, but everything about the big Hereditary reveal is spelled out in a million ways throughout the movie. What exactly do you mean by this?
@@CarloisBuriedAlive I mean the ending was super cliche, the director improvised it over the actual ending he had planned which he felt was too disturbing. If the rest of the film was any indication, I would have loved to see what he had in originally because I felt like the note Hereditary ended on was super weak.
@@bebop_557 but almost every single scene implies the ending and provides clues along the way towards the reveal, down to the score itself, people seen in the background of shots, the choice of gender for certain characters, the backstory of the entire bloodline of that family, etc. I think people were watching the movie, not picking up on exactly what was happening, and were disappointed that the movie actually gives you all of the details because it “should leave more to the imagination” but the movie spends almost two hours giving you tiny breadcrumbs and rewards the viewer for noticing all of the details lol
Also, Midsommar was the movie where he made some deep alterations after going through a breakup, since the movie was partially a hired job.
It deff is crazy, but just imagine a kind of crazy guy, but found to be right with a alien invasion and does nit want to he alone. Crazy people will exist regardless of what happens around us. I was very happy they dared to connect these two normally separate areas
I haven't seen this movie in a long time, and mostly skimmed their reaction for the best parts, but here's what I remember. He was already crazy and kidnapping people prior to all of this in his bunker. He was both a conspiracy theorist and a kidnapper. The last girl just happened to die or whatever (maybe suicide) prior to the alien invasion, as its implied. He hit her car with the same intentions of kidnapping her like he did the last one, but then shit hit the fan with the alien invasion occurring shortly after. It was all a big coincidence.
Anyone else see the thumbnail and think "This is the real origin of Cinebinge"? ;-) Simone, if you need help, blink SOS in morse code!
Ah, that's how she gets you!
George, blink SOS in morse, if you need help!
This movie is such an underrated gem. I'm not going to lie, I have a thing for Mary Elizabeth Winstead, ever since Final Destination 3, so that's what drew me to it in the first place. That, and John Goodman. The crazy psycho being right the whole time is nuts. I rally like the ending. After all she just went through and has a clear path to safety, she decides to not to run.
Who doesn't have a thing for the most beautiful woman to ever walk this planet? :D
I also like the ending, because it's so nuts and because it's the perfect ending after all the guessing what's really out there... whether it's all lies or if there's a bit of truth to it and then it's way crazier and worse than you expected.
It's interesting because Goodman's character is clearly insane but that does not change the facts. If someone crazy tells you something, should you assume they're lying because they're crazy?
btw ever noticed how the room where he kept her was in the process of being turned into a child's room?
and I always wondered whether that bottle she took with her meant that she had fled from an abusive relationship...
was that guy a drunk and hit her? If so, I would be poetic that the bottle helped her in the most crucial moment.
It's a great movie.
Scott Pilgrim fan?
@@indiatastic More "Death Proof".
@@McPh1741 She was awesome in Die Hard 4 too, even if the role wasn't big.
@@indiatastic I think her best role to this day was in Fargo, season 3.
John did such an amazing job in this role. Such a good claustrophobia meets, aliens, meets psycho thriller.
10 cloverfield lane is one of my favorite movies. I saw it before watching cloverfield and the ending blew my little teenager mind. It was so awesome! Wish I could forget the movie just to watch it fresh again. That said I really enjoyed you guys' reaction to this movie and I appreciate you sharing your honest views and opinions. I love seeing new perspectives and takes to the movies I enjoy. Thanks for the reaction!
Man, that nut line in the end killed me, well done Simone.
I am normally not a fan of changing other films to fit a franchise. But I for one loved the genre change at the end. It was jarring but in an exciting and strange way
Imo I kinda like the mental ending. It makes it different from your bog-standard kidnappee escapes kidnapper flick. It really does feel like a strange added on fan-written ending but I kinda like it for the fact of how different it is
The Kelvin gas station also makes an appearance in JJ Abrams' Super 8.
It was also the name of one of ships in Star Trek and a character in LOST.
I believe it was the name of his grandfather.
It's also a Unit of measuring temperature.
@@Foxtrot369
...yeah, but that's not why it appears in every JJ movie
Kelvin is one of the Abrams' films easter eggs. Like Slusho drink.
I love the way the movie plays with you, and I was totally on board with the craziness at the end. Felt like the perfect payoff to me. Such a great arc for her character.
Guys, I gotta say, of the last year or year and a half I've been watching, this is the absolute best thumbnail you guys have ever made.
I'm taking away my thumbs up because you didn't like the movie when the spaceship showed up. That's the best part, seeing he was right.
“Turn it off and on again!” - Roy - The IT Crowd
Nice. Easily one of the best movies of the '10's. A smart psychological thriller that turns into a monster flick. And Goodman... so good. A brilliant movie.
Interesting facts: I'm from Lake Charles, Louisiana and you wouldn't want to try to build a bunker or anything underground here. Because Lake Charles is very close to the Gulf of Mexico and has a lot of rivers, so it floods all the time. That bunker would end up being a indoor swimming 🏊 pool, with nasty 🤢 bayou water.
Nice thumbnail! This movie is dope. The Cloverfield universe is really fun. My friend is obsessed with the world they have built and all the promos that were released before the movies came out.
The Thumbnail is Golden, GOLDEN I SAY!!!!
With regard to John Good/Badman, if you want to watch another film where a "lovely" actor is very "not lovely indeed," watch "One Hour Photo" with Robin Williams. He is terrifying in it.
That last line by Simone was Nuts!!!!
Yeah I think you guys spent the entire time assuming what the movie was instead of just experiencing what movie was. You thought you had it figured out from the beginning and then when it wasn’t that… It was hard to wrestle with
I remember having such goosebumps at the end with the lightning revealing what she was driving into. I was disappointed that it wasn't further explored in further movies, but the "is he right or is it another lie" cat and mouse game for the whole movie was really great, too.
Ok, the nuts joke at the end made me laugh for a good ten seconds!
I thought at the time most people thought the ending was bad, it goes from thriller to action right at the end so it's completely valid to find it inappropriate tbh.
23:47 Simone : "That woman looked messed up." George : "What if it's just a messed up woman?" Crack does not make your face melt off...lol. I get the feeling George does not like being wrong.
The first time he said that he mentioned Krokodil, which does make your body necrotic and you can start losing limbs
My mom and I rented this movie the day it came out on a whim. We were so surprised in the best way.
That explains why it feels like two movies slapped together. It is. I will now personally think of this film as 'The Cellar', and pretend it ended with her hearing the birds, taking off the suit and driving away to safety and freedom.
What a pity they told you it´s connected to Cloverfield. When we saw it back then, it wasn´t marketed as Cloverfield-film (there was just a name). So it was much more wild guessing. Revelation at the end almost like in Split.
Before watching this one I only knew John Goodman as "that jolly big fella". Boy was I in for a surprise. There's few movie villains that are this terrifying!
I'll say it again. John Goodman is the most underrated/underappreciated actor out there. He is phenomenal.
John Goodman did do the voice of robot Santa Claus in Futurama
"Nuts?"
Oh. My. I love you two dorks so much 😂
When the movie was released somebody on the internet said: this movie is like if the basement scene from War of the World was suddenly stretched into a sequel for Independence Day. And... it is right? like it is not even a criticism, i think it does describe the movie and how it is two things put together and how that might be a bit jarring.
"Nuts!" I salute you, Simone. That was a moment of comedic genius, and completely ad-libbed.
Cloverfield is an anthology series made up of films that were originally written completely disconnected from one another, then bought and re-edited to fit in something Cloverfield-y to help with marketing. They used to do this a lot with horror franchises in the 80's (especially the Silent Night, Deadly Night movies). It's not a universe, it's a collection.
Lots of series end up this way. The second and third DIE HARD films both began as independent scripts purchased and rewritten to be about McClane.
everything's Crack related according to George
in my defense at the time of recording we were watching a lot of breaking bad.
I actually prefer this ending and I find it less predictable (although I was pretty sure he was telling the truth). I view this film as a metaphor of living under someone's (or yourself) overprotection and not being able/or willing to escape because of the safety that he provides. If everything Howard was saying was untrue, the point of the movie would be that it wasn't that scary as you thought, to go out into the world and take a chance. But the truth is, it is that scary. It's scary to be out there alone. Especially if you've been sheltered by that person for a long time. You still have to face your demons and make your own way. That's the reason that living with a monster can be comforting sometimes. It can protect you from the monsters outside. Until, it turns its sights on you, that is.
OK, saying they are in the same world is actually kind of misleading. The first Cloverfield movie came out before iPhones, and this “sequel” has them prominently featured.
The Cloverfield movies are in fact anthologies and not meant to be sequels to each other although the third one is supposed to explain how all the events occur in the other movies, but it doesn’t really. It’s just best to think them all as separate anthologies under the same title
Man, your thumbnails are so good! Can't help but crack a smile when I see them XD
I feel like the ending works best if you spend the whole movie unsure if it is actually connected to the Cloverfield monster movie or just a coincidence of naming.
I love John Goodman so much in this. It has his two sides (big teddy bear and the most terrifying person ever) and he switches between them perfectly.
Definitely valid criticisms for it which many had on release. That said, still made goodman very scary!
Time to watch One Hour Photo next!
The third movie is actually underrated. Can’t wait for you to see it.
25:10 - "That's the most sinister Santa Claus ever." - You need to see Liam Neeson's SNL Santa Clause audition.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead ❤
You’ll learn how these movies connect in Cloverfield Paradox but what puts this in the same universe is the different company names you see scattered throughout the movie like Bold Futura and Slusho. This movie had just as much ARG’s as the first movie and that’s where you’ll find the bulk of the connections which I think most of which are no longer active.
Goodman killed this role. I was so stoked on it when I watched this on Netflix ~7 years ago.
19:45 "How do we know it's not just a crazy woman?" What are the chances a crazy woman with a messed up face randomly shows up after Goodman's character has told everyone it's really bad on the surface? When George gets an idea in his head, he can't really let go of it and I think that hurt his enjoyment of the ending since it went against his assumption that it was completely fine on the surface. I loved the alien ending since it's a twist after you spend a lot of the movie assuming it's fine outside because Goodman seems unreliable. Ending right when Winstead's character escaped would be too predictable and boring.
don’t end it right when she escapes, end with her driving towards the ship in the distance. Same ending, not as long, not as stupid and with less B-movie action
I really wish I could call that a Deus Ex Molotov at the end there, though it's more of a Chekov's Whiskey (Molotov's Gun doesn't feel like it works) since the bottle was shown at the beginning of the film.
Oh well. Still gnarly to chuck one into an alien ship to blow it up.
3:21 It was! Very good observation! 👏
Dude i like your honest opinions whether you hate it or love it i hope this experience doesnt deter you from saying you dont like something in future. Keep up the good work
I believe the impression we're supposed to get is that Howard was a conspiracy theorist who used his bunker to operate as a serial killer (well, at least to murder one other person) before the invasion/attack/whatever happened. As much as I like just the bunker stuff, I think it actually gains a lot of nuance and deeper horror when the threat outside is real. I like that the movie does a good job of making you wonder whether or not there really is anything wrong happening outside, and I think the reveal that Howard was more or less correct about the threats outside retroactively makes him a scarier presence -- we tend to think of people in media post-apocalypse situations as being shaped by their experiences when the world ends, but here we have an example of a guy who was already just as bad before the world ended, and the only difference afterwards is that he doesn't have to try as hard to get away with it.
“You do plan to have dinosaurs on your dinosaur tour, right?” would have been the reaction if an alien movie had no aliens in it lol
I Lost it when George said "Jhon BADman" hahahahaha
I remember getting really into the lore of this. So his character is actually brilliant and work for the government agencies. Also the Cloverfield monster was woken up because we were mining it's embryo fluid for slushies (no.. I'm not kidding.. No they never bring it up in the movies and yes it's Canon)
omg I lost it at "nuts" XD
"Nuts"? LOL, perfect!!
Never noticed the Hud and Marlena picture until now.
I wish the movie ended right when she got out of the bunker and saw the ship in the air. Enjoyed your reactions!
I believe paradox is woth watching regardless of what some say
"Nuts?" just might be my favorite joke either of you has ever come up with in the videos I've seen on this channel!
I kinda like that he was right, there's already been things like Misery before, I like the idea of him being both correct about the threat but also being unhinged and dangerous at the same time.
You want a good under the radar movie with John Goodman? You should check out Red State.
I saw this in theaters while everyone else went to see BvS. Everyone else missed out. This is the superior movie. John Goodman is the man
Yeah... but is his mom's name Martha?
I would agree.
Police Academy 6 is superior to Batman VS Superman.
George is right this was a different screenplay that was adapted same with cloverfield paradox
Any questions you might have over these two ‘Cloverfield’ movies will be answered in The Cloverfield Paradox, the third installment of the phenomenon.
Went to see this in theaters for my birthday
Well thanks for that, now every time I’ll see Simone all I’ll think is ‘nuts?’ 💀😂
Very good movie ! 🎥 John Goodman forever !🇨🇦🇫🇷🇧🇪
I think the ending is a great addition. Sure, it's tonally weird and makes it clear this was 2 separate projects pushed together, but I give films like this a lot of credit for just going weird places. We've seen films like this a million times, where the twist is the villain was lying and such, but it's rare the villain is actually telling the truth and I love that revelation. Ironically, I think this film wouldn't be as memorable if it played things that safe in the end.
32:58: Shows JJ Abrams ”love” if Sci-fi 😜
It's so funny they decided to do this movie at the same time as the bear problem
This movie was not originally titled Cloverfield, It was tacked on
The movie OverLord was also supposed to be originally called Cloverfield Overlord
Cloverfield is like a brand name they originally intended to use for movies that weren't related to each other, but that wouldn't sell if not part of a franchise
To me, knowing this is in the Cloverfield universe from the jump is like knowing that "Split" is in...Well, _that_ universe. It takes away from it.
I remember watching this movie and having not even a _hint_ of "cloverfield universe" on my brain (it is 8 years later after all, and "secret sequels" like this didn't happen that often), and when you see the monsters in the distance my mind suddenly exploded, out of nowhere my brain made the connection "CLOVERFIELD!!! THIS IS IN THE SAME UNIVERSE AS THAT MOVIE FROM 8 YEARS AGO! OH MY GOD!"<
The whole horror is thinking he is insane throughout the entire movie. Knowing he is speaking the truth from the start kind of ruins the whole premise.
Dan Trachtenberg has made 2 of my favorite sequel/prequels. This and Prey. MORE DAN MOVIES!
