Super 8, Super Movie

Rating: 8/10 (10 June 2011)

SUPER 8! I went into this movie with big expectations and I have to say it didn't disappoint but I will say right off the bat though that the alien did disappoint me.
First off the alien. It looks like a mini version of the CLOVERFIELD monster. It's only like approx 20-Feet-Tall and is only shown at the end of the movie. Plus it picks up the main actor and then puts him down and leaves to go back to it's planet... What The F**k!
Secondly the movie. JJ Abrams and Steven Spielberg created genius here! This movie is brilliantly scripted with a mix of horror, comedy and romance. Think THE GOONIES meets CLOVERFIELD. THE GOONIES as in the kids are the main actors. And CLOVERFIELD as in you don't really see the alien until the end of the movie.
Even though there are kids in this movie so you think it shouldn't be too bad. DO NOT TAKE YOUR KIDS TOO THIS! It even freaked me out at moments and I usually think horror movies are funny. If you want your kids to sleep at night don't let them see this.
Overall 8/10 GREAT MOVIE =)
