Fun Movie!

Rating: 8/10 (18 June 2011)

I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's a fun, escapist summer movie with nostalgia, monsters, and good music. The acting was excellent, the story was a throwback to the old movies I remember, and it made me jump a few times. If you're not in the mood for deep thinking or being depressed, it is a great way to spend some time at the matinée or the evening show. I'll be buying the DVD when it comes out. I went with two teenagers and my sister. We all agreed it was the best movie we had seen in a while. It's not Academy Award material, but it's what movies were meant to be--entertaining. No four letter words, nudity or gratuitous violence. No over-reliance on special effects, and it had some good acting.
