Super 8
This movie was refreshing in a summer that has been dominated by superheros. Super 8 is Abrams doing his best Spielberg impression and I'm happy to say it works. All of the trailers have been extremely vague about the plot, creature ect. It was nice to see a movie that wasn't completely ruined by the trailers. I'm not saying there is any brilliant story telling going on in Super 8 and honestly once it gets rolling the plot becomes extremely predictable. I'll just say Super 8 is ET for a new generation.
You can find tons of reviews online that will compare it to the Goonies and other films like that. Many reviews I read were also critical of the ending which I found to be beautiful. It was cheesy and you see it coming but it is done so well.
In the end the movie is not about the creature. There is a message in the film that won't take any critical thinking to understand. Abrams pretty much lays it out for you. That would turn me off most of the time but again it is done so well.
The creature is like nothing you have ever seen before. You never really get a good look at it until the end of the movie. It is cool looking but I'm not going to spoil it. I just wish we got to learn more about it.
I'll give it a 85%
It was much better than I thought it would be.
Oh and stay for the credits.
Damn I left Super 8 and missed the credits.. PM me what I missed!
I'd give it a 9.9, the only drawback was where the kid spoke to it.. other than that, amazing and a definite throwback to when films were films.
I loved how it was advertised. It is nice not knowing everything about a film going into it.
I'm not sure how Super 8 is anything like Coverfield (which isn't as bad as most say it is). They both had monsters and people running I guess?
Super 8 is a throwback to when summer films were more than superheros and stuff blowing up.
Super 8 is Abrams best work and I'm excited to see where he goes from here. He knocked this one out of the park in my opinion. I have not been so pleasantly surprised by a film in a long time.
