Cloverfield was AMZING and I Am Legend was, well, not trash but poor.
Cloverfield was just pure spectacle. You really did feel that you were there when a monster trashes New York. The overly shakey bits were a bit vommy. But it was an awesome film.
I Am Legend was great until the CGI vampire people arrived and the whole movie slipped into B movie shocker. I mean the suspense when he's int he bath with Sam and you can hear the scerams outside. Shudder. Then you see the baddies and they are really poor quality CGI effects that remove all sense of fear. They didn't need CG with 28 Weeks later did they? That was a MUCH scarier film. No, I Am Legend was two films. Scary & tense then bland and unscarey.
Give me Cloverfieeld anyday.
