Cloverfield is an American version of Godzilla. I mean, it's the same formula. Big, badassed monster storms into the city, thrashes the place and all that. Of course, they just had to toss in the obligatory offspring of the monster, along with the suggestion that the offspring somehow infest humans.
The show's pacing seems to have left something to be desired. I felt the show was leaving too many loose ends while dragging out the intro longer than it should have been. It would be better to simply cut the intro some and tie up some of the loose ends, like why the creature was spawning, why it was indestructible and what its offspring was doing.
Overall, this show turned out to be something of a drawn out survival horror flick. Being threatened by a huge monster and its offspring is something, but having that drawn out horror seemingly without any progress tends to get old pretty quickly. I suppose it could get 6.5/10 from me. Primarily because of what happens in the end.
