Well, some folks must like "Cloverfield."  Out of some 25,000 votes on 
www.imdb.com, it's scored an average rating of 8.1, which is pretty good.
Just for comparison, ST II: TWOK scored 7.7, "The Day The Earth Stood 
Still" scored 8.1, and "Back to the Future" scored 8.2.  And those are 
considered to be damn good movies.

Is it some deep, meaningful movie with a profound message? No.  But many 
"message" movies have flopped this year, including most of the Iraq War 
movies.
