Super 8

For months we've all seen the trailers for Super 8, and for months we all have been wondering what is this movie suppose to be about. Well it is quite simple. It's about some kids who like to make horror movies, there's a train wreck near a small town in Ohio that unleashes a unknown monster, weird things start happening, and kids have to solve the mystery. That is pretty much exactly what you get from the trailers.

You will most likely enjoy this movie. It has its moments that make you laugh. The kids have some great lines and the story moves pretty fast. Although the fact you will enjoy the movie, you will get a sense that you may have seen this movie before. The truth is that you're right. If your a fan of Steven Spielberg's movie, then you've seen this movie before. I felt like J.J. Abrams wanted to make homage film to Spielberg, and that is exactly what he did, only with a lot of lens flares. I'm telling you a lot of lens flares. Maybe he had a stockpile left over form Star Trek.

Super 8 is worth seeing. It gets a E - Entertaining. Again most likely you will enjoy seeing this movie, but I can't see anyone carrying on with an emotional connection to this movie when it is over. I think I liked this movie better when I saw it the first when it was called Jaws, E.T., Jurassic Park, and The Goonies.
