Am I missing something?
This movie was not good. Maybe it gets better as it prgresses but I could only bear 45 minutes. It was really boring and confusing. The fact that a monster was attacking the city just made the movie unbelievable and stupid. I would not suggest this movie to anyone.

I thought it was ok. The ending was, i think, pretty bad (sad really not violent). Not too sexual, but i liked it overall.

Good for little thrill seekers, but not that scary
Absolutely great film. I thought action, and suspense built up the story, and made the ending very good. I thought that the characters were good role models for caring for others, and not just running away, instead going towards the action to rescue someone. This movie did in some way remind of the Alien/Predator movies, I don't think this really counts as spoiling, but very slowly, but surely, the characters all die off except for 1. All in all, this is a great film if you are a small thrill seeking audience.

some disturbing scenes push the "PG-13" limit.
Honestly this movie just depends on if you get scared easily or not. There's a LOT of things you didn't mention though. A main character sees the monster and becomes mentally unstable for the rest of the movie, she later gets a grotesque gash from being bitten, and her eyes start to bleed and she explodes behind a curtain. In that scene, there's also someone who's (supposedly) dead, with a hole where his stomach should be. You only see that for a couple of seconds, but it really pushed the limit. There's also another seen with a woman who got pinned to the ground by an object that impaled her through the chest. It gets pulled out, and obviously that's a bit graphic. It was a bit too much for me when I saw it, so make sure your child can handle it.

I was impressed!
Cloverfield is, in my opinion, an excellent monster movie. Shot in first person, the film is definitely quite frightening (it's almost as if you're in the movie!). Acting was decent, as was the script. There was some violence, primarily against the monsters that invaded the city, and the film was definitely quite frightening. I could not recommend it to younger children.

this movie is another cliche monster movie with a (spoiler alert?) crappy ending... its got some cool parts, but its mostly just a shaky camera and nervous moments..

iffy
Most of the sex and drinking is in the immediate beginning, while the rest of the film is violence. It's still good and worth seeing. Don't expect much in terms of an overall story to the beast.

Great movie teens+
Suggested MPAA Rating: PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and terror, disturbing images, and language. Great movie! Language isn't THAT bad... no f words. Just about 18 sh**'s. Fine for teens

Good movie
This movie is more suspensiveful than scary. I dont remember if there is alot of blood or not. People say it is funny but it is not funny at all. I think there should be a sequel. Good movie

Cloverfield = Success
Cloverfield is a bloody but excellent alien invasion movie. Some people may complain about the camera, but it's realistic and it honestly wasn't annoying. Overall, if you like alien invasion movies then watch it, some bloody scenes, and the special effects were really good, great ending as well.

Coverfield
This movie is made from a hand held camera and it can get a little annoying when it shakes and spins, at least that's what i thought.

early teens and older teens
the movie overall is absolutely fantastic and the way they did it with the video camera is really clever, however it does include human size spider things attacking people and a giant one aswell. This movie also has on girl bitten by one and through a curtain she gets shot, blood splattering the curtain hope this helps/
