I had a discussion with a friend about this. She couldn't enjoy the film because the characters were stupid fail-faces. I could enjoy it because they were stupid fail-faces who all died.
On a more serious note, do you know what bothered me? The whole time I was watching that, I kept thinking, "It took them three days to evacuate 20,000 out of New Orleans after Katrina, and they emptied the island of Manhattan in mere hours!!!" I don't know if I was angered by the extreme amount of disbelief suspension expected of me, or that - if this were to actually happen - they probably would manage to evacuate Manhattan in a few hours. Grrr. I am glad all those pretty skinny people died.

On the other hand a sock cloverfield monster would be utterly squee'worthy. On the other foot? Bah!
