At the end of the film you see an object crashing in the sea.

At first you think its the monster but it turns out it isn't.

Surely the backstory of what this satellite had to do with anything would be a good idea seeing as if you don't know it you would rightly think it is the monster.

Most people think the oil tanker was holding something before it was attacked which is why the city was a target.

We also know the attack didn't work as an audio message says it is still alive so what happens next?

Any other ideas on what should be covered?
 
The backstory is obviously a deliberately tongue and cheek nod to Godzilla and other cheesy monster movies which is why it's pratically left out of the film.
So if they must do another one they should stick to the idea of having the same story told from another perspective - an Aliens-style movie with marines which goes as far as saying what happens next or a Host-style flick based around a family in peril.
 
^^^ this.

Also, I thought the characters were about as unlikeable a bunch as it's possible to put on film, so I was waiting for them to die horribly. (Maybe that was the point, and it went over my head...)

So, this time round: decent direction, likeable characters, something approaching a plot, and a monster you can see... KTHXBAI!!1 ;)
 
Didn't the film cross paths with someone else on the Brooklyn bridge?

Perhaps the film will follow them until they reach safety and then follow some sort of path that explains what happend before and after from various other view points like the media and some sort of internal government tv report with footage it collected.

Cloverfiled gives the impression that this video is being watched by a panel of people looking at evidence.

After all they went to all that hard work to find the camera which would be hard to do in such a large city.
 
In Cloverfield 2, I'd really like to see the monster come out of the ocean and then later in the movie, I'd like to see it give birth. Maybe have some cockroaches coming out of its mouth too?
 
Well, I'd be quite happy to actually be able to see what is going on. The whole 'shaky camera' gimmick got tiresome very quickly.

I'd like to be able to see the guns, explosions, mayhem and most of the US east coast being torn to shreRAB thank you very much... Oh, and some likeable characters would be appreciated as well.



I agree, especially as those were the best bits of the first film! :D
 
Uglier actors. Like, right proper munters.

I loved Cloverfield, but the characters were far too good-looking. I found myself not caring for any of them.
 
I'd like to see the original from the Military's point of view.

As for the sequel, it's wife should turn up and be well hacked off. After all, he's been out all night trashing landmarks.
 
I prefer SF to horror, so I'd like to see an explanation of where the monster came from, how the parasites were able to survive both above and below water, etc. And a plausible account of how they deal with it. (Probably they should herd it out of the city so it stops destroying valuable buildings.)
 
Would there be much of a city left?


It would be good to see some of the back story and how they deal with it. I would guess it can't stand a nuclear weapon.

But considering they floated the idea of an alternate angle perhaps we will see a bit more of the attack.
 
I'd like to be able to see what's going on this time. Which will probably mean they have to ACTUALLY have something happening this time instead of just hiding absolutely nothing happening behind an irritating wobbly camera perspective.
 
The posited Lovecraftian origin of the monster fits the material best I think.

If it's merely a beastie from Planet X then we're firmly in hokum territory.
 
I remember Empire saying they would retract one star from the five it gave Cloverfield if they ever made a sequel. Saying it was brilliant as a stand alone film. You never know why it's happening, what's happening, where the creature came from and what happened at the end. Brilliant concept. I'm not so sure about a sequel, it may cheapen it. It'll never live up to the first one and I know that's often said about sequels but I truly feel that with this one.

Even though I am curious to know where it came from, what happened in the end and a bit of backstory, I like the whole mystery of it. Maybe a TV Series?
 
Loved the film (shaky camera and all), but if ever a film didn't need a sequel it was this.

Actually, it was Highlander.

But then it was this.
