Gave me Feelings of Nostalgia

Rating: 8/10 (26 April 2013)

Super 8 gives me feelings of the nostalgia. When I watch this film, I'm reminded of when I was a kid watching the Goonies. Super 8 was obviously J.J. Abrams' omage to films like the Goonies. Personally, I think he did a good job. I liked this film just as much as the Goonies. The characters were mostly likable and funny (mainly the kids). The plot is interesting. There is this feeling of mystery and adventure, like the Goonies had. There were some minor problems. Many of the adult characters I did not care for. The design of the alien was not that great. Plus there was one thing that happened in the movie that made absolutely no sense. Overall, anyone who's a fan of the Goonies or Scifi films, check this out!
