I liked Paranormal Activity the first time i saw it. I just found that i got bored the second time around. It's not a bad movie at all, just not one that i can watch repeatedly.

Was all set to agree with you on the "copycats" but then you mentioned Cloverfield. I loved that movie but i'm a sucker for giant monster movies. But i also have to say that Cloverfield was entirely different from PA. It's not a ghost movie so how can you call it a rip off? Sure PA started the craze and so you can argue that Cloverfield used that device because of it but given that they are entirely different types of movies, i don't think that really matters.
No way that Paranormal Activity is better than Blair Witch. Blair Witch was actually creepy, Paranormal Activity was just dumb.
