Though if they follow JJ's original thoughts about a sequel (I remember reading) then it would just be a "sidequel" to the first. i.e., what the military was doing during the same events.

The first one was trash and the ones that were tie-ins in name only were pretty bad too.

I really enjoyed the Cloverfield Lane one. The third one was garbage.

I liked the first one for what it was. It was an interesting "high concept" type of film. Making a kaiju movie from the point of view of someone "in the action" is a novel idea that I'm a little bit surprised hadn't been done sooner. Although obviously the execution of that idea wasn't for everyone. I don't watch it often but it's pretty neat.

I actually keep forgetting to watch 10 Cloverfield Lane. I don't really count it as a "sequel", though, since it was written and filmed as a totally different movie and just had the name tacked on to sell a few more tickets. Like some countries that air the Van-Damme movie "The Cyborg" refer to its title as "Masters of the Universe 2", but... it's not. It's 100% absolutely not that, no matter what they call it. And 10 Cloverfield Lane isn't a Cloverfield movie. I'm sure it's pretty good, though, I just keep forgetting to actually watch it.

I didn't see The Cloverfield Paradox but it sounds absolutely atrocious.

I might watch a "real" sequel, I don't know. Guess we'll see.

This is the only one I watched, too, and it's damn good.

Was actually thinking about this the other day. Still glad it’s happening. Even if the franchise had been… lacking, to say the least.

I wasn't even aware they made three movies already. I know they made one pseudo-sequel starring John Goodman as a crazy bunker man but I can't remember hearing about the third one.

[oldmanwinters]

What a weird franchise. No film to date has had a clear tie to the predecessors except the Cloverfield name and… a general sense of invasion.

The third one is very obscure too. Not even streaming anywhere that I know. I did pick up the physical copy on clearance at Big Lots.

The third was on Netflix. Weirdly the promotion for the third came out the day before it released on Netflix.

I don’t expect promotion for the film to start on the 4th until after it releases
