One of the reasons I liked Cloverfield so much is that I really believed Abrams and Reeves tried to pay homage to Godzilla and Toho and the fact that it took something perceived as hokey (an unknown monster attacking a major city) and made it feel very realistic.
Seeing that movie in theaters was a friggin' blast...also gave me high hopes for a new Zilla that will be equally cool to watch in a theater.
