I imagine a lot of them are pretty pissed about the way it was released

Why bother reading reviews when the movie is already available and you can see it for yourself. Some people will still turn to critics for an opinion but Im sure many of them see it as a threat to their livelihood

Hollywood does not like change

Yeah, just glancing through the review blurbs on the first page, several of them mention Netflix, and one calls it a "fraudulent release strategy"

It was decent. Interesting. Silly.

Easily the worst of the Cloverfield movies, but also has me excited for the future of the franchise

It was ok. I don't think it did anything interesting or even really told its own story very well. It looks like they attached the cloverfield name to it because otherwise no one would have watched it. It felt like it tried to explain parts of the first movie, with the one guy saying the space station would awaken monsters in the ocean, or pull demons from other dimensions. I'm guessing that tied in to the aliens in Cloverfield lane, but honestly idk

Never watched a Cloverfield movie, if they put the other two on Netflix, I might watch 'em, but I'm not jumping into the series at the third movie.

Once I finally see the sequels, I'm either totally going to yell at you for that ranking or agree with you. I'm not sure which because I still need to see the sequels. I loved the first one, though.

Isn't some of this true for Cloverfield Lane too?

As for rankings... Cloverfield Lane is so much better than Cloverfield imo.
The first Cloverfield isn't very good imo, although it did have some interesting parts.

I enjoyed it. It did have some parts that just made me go, "huh?"

I do agree that it's the weakest of the 3.

I feel like it would have been better if activating the Shepard again at the end actually brought back the people that died. Since technically they weren't dead in their own dimension.

The Cloverfield monster at the end though was great!

It's still worth about five minutes of my time for advice on whether a movie is worth two hours of my time.

Is this worded properly? I feel that it's not. This is a blurb from one of the reviews:

"Given Netflix credit where it's due: Launching the film in this fashion made its arrival feel like an event, instead of an afterthought."

The bolded phrase looks weird to me.

I think it's weird because it could say "giving" or "give" and it would sound fine

Given I'm pretty sure is wrong either way
