It is, in my eyes, unfortunate that Stan-Lee did not understand what the movie was or what the movie was supposed to be about. I think it reads as a short story would, describing one group of friends' experience on the night that a monster came to New York. This is a different vantage point, giving us a look at what happens to the little people in a large tragedy. I agree 100% with FallenRonin.

However Lee, your complaints hold little weight when realizing most others knew that such a limited amount of story is exactly what Abrams & Reeves wanted from the beginning. What we saw on the screens was what whatever data was retrieved from the SD Card from the camera left in Central Park after the "Hammer Down' Protocol went into effect. The story was done this way to seperate it from other monster movies, specifically any & all from the Godzilla franchise. The sheer amount of information (or rather lack-there-of) along with no 'real' story (plus the fact that, at the VERY end of the film, a transmission could be heard that clarifies that the creature is not dead) means that a sequel was inevitable.

Nothing was explained and so many questions were unanswered. If you look at the boxoffice grosses, you will see that I am not alone as there was a 70% decline in sales from opening week.As for a Cloverfield 2, I think it is entirely necessary. I need closure. I want to know what happened. But what I fear is, just a rehash of Cloverfield 1, now that would suck. Ok, first off I didn’t like Cloverfield, simply because it didn’t make sense.
