I hope to be wrong here but I'm not feeling much excitement about this. I enjoyed the build up to Cloverfield, the marketing was very clever and the film turned out to be pretty good. I'm not always a fan of handheld 'found footage' type movies and I felt one of the key parts of it (the object falling in the sea) was too easily missed.

I'm even less a fan when the original is found footage but the sequel is a traditional 'produced' film like this. No hint of a plot so far (other than "we are stuck going crazy in this bunker but don't go outside" which doesn't excite me at all) and not even the presence of John Goodman is making it feel worthwhile yet. Clearly they're making a different type of storyline, again I hope to be wrong about it but I'm feeling pretty 'men' right now about Cloverfield 2 (or whatever).
