J.J. Abrams! A monster! All that mystery!

For months and months, movie fans have been teased about the upcoming horror/suspense film, Cloverfield. But does the flick live up to the hype? Let's see how a handful of critics feel about it...

- Cloverfield is a fun movie. Plain and simple. It's sit back, relax and go. It's a roller coaster ride. -- Slash Film

- A combination of unpleasantness and stupidity that would be difficult to match, unless you were stuck in bed with the flu while being forced to watch Lou Dobbs. -- Kyle Smith

- A robust 80-minute burst of barely-controlled mayhem. Monster fans will love it. -- Fearnet.com

- Will grab you in its jaws, toss you around like a chew toy for a rollicking 80 minutes (yes, it's a short â€" but oh so sweet â€" flick) and still leave you panting for more. -- IGN
