If you did not love it then it means that you watch too many movies

Rating: 10/10 (9 September 2012)

I think that people who failed to appreciate the excellence of Super 8 have wasted too much of their lives watching too many movies such as the Goonies for example, and did not succeed in being born at the optimal time that would facilitate their appreciation of the overwhelmingly beautiful cinematography. I mean I saw this as utterly beautiful and loved the heck out of the touching acting story, the friendship, the level of humor in using some familiar clichés in the behaviors of the characters. I wish I could tell the spoiler but here is a hint - a famous 70s toy that turns into a famous 70s movie flying thing. (I always think of this era as late 70s though it could be early 80s just as easily.)
