I thought it was the most overhyped monster movie ever. Wasn't terrible, but nothing special either, aside from the monster which was pretty cool. Too long of a wait though before we got a good look at it. I hated every single character in that movie, and I wanted them all to die.

There is a difference between overhyped, and having a clever marketing campaign. Godzilla was overhyped. King Kong was overhyped. Even Blair Witch was overhyped. Cloverfield simply had a great advance trailer.
I'd also say I'm completely baffled by your hatred of the characters. Why did you hate the insanely hot chick who got impaled? Why did you hate the also hot chick who eventually exploded? Why did you hate the cameraman (I thought he was pretty funny)?
Rob was somewhat annoying, his brother too, and the chick who ended up making it out was REALLY annoying, but the others were fine, in my book.

I wish that I believed in Fate. I wish I didn't sleep so late. I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders.
