I was just sort of going on a tirade about how I hate Cloverfield but I agree with your (slightly more sophisticated) point as well. Hollywood clearly knows what it's doing because it'll most likely make a lot of money but ****ing ****, if you have to make a remake at least pick a director mildly suited to that task.
I didn't even like the original that much... but I accidentally saw the English dubbed version which probably subtracted from the mood about 2000%.
