Top 10 Reason Why I Won't Go See Cloverfield The Movie:
1. SHAKYCAM
2. The entire movie was filmed with a friggin SHAKYCAM!
3. The same reason why Transformers sucked - you couldn't see the robots because of the damn SHAKYCAM!
4. J. J. Abrams thinks he's so cool, he can film a whole movie with a SHAKYCAM.
5. Moronic movie execs spent millions of dollars that could have feed the homeless, or China for a day, on the premise that the nausea one feels watching a SHAKYCAM for 2 hours will increase it's horror potential.
6. I was burnt by Blair Witch Project already, not gonna fall for another movie with a damn SHAKYCAM as its hook.
7. I can save $10 by watching the trailer on Youtube, while my friend repeatedly hits me in the head with a baseball bat and get the same effect as a SHAKYCAM!
8. Hollywood seems hellbent on following the crappiest trend in film making, by taking what was once a minor annoyance in most action films, and devolving a complete set of shot styles to the lowest common denominator - the SHAKYCAM.
9. I was hoping this movie would have been the next Godzilla, but instead, it looks like we got Youtube -The Movie, filmed by a drunk two-year-old with a damn SHAKYCAM.
10. Going to see Cloverfield at the theaters will only validate the stupid idea of using a SHAKYCAM will make a movie about a 500 ft. tall monster seem more 'realistic'.

I actually watched Cloverfield when it came out in theaters some time ago. I thought it was a pretty decent movie. It had romance, sad moments, and lots of action. However, I do agree with you. The whole found footage era that’s going on is just crap. It is especially crappy for those, like me, who get motion sickness from the ‘SHAKYCAM’ and just feel like vomiting instead enjoying the movie. It doesn’t take much skills to make a movie with found footage. All you got to do is tape the camera to the actor and bam, you got yourself a movie.
