"Super 8" is Super Great

Rating: 9/10 (28 June 2011)

Note: I put the warning of this review as having spoilers, as I'm not sure if I've had written a spoiler below; just in case I wrote one that I considered as not one.
From first glance, "Super 8" resembles an enigma. Later on, the trailers seem to give us information of a very fatal train crash that sets fire lurking everywhere. Besides the derailing of the train, it also shows a mysterious monster punching through the train walls, which leads us to the conclusion that the monster is probably lurking within a small town, and secretly causing chaos around the small town.
The story inferred above is indeed correct. But that's not all. There's a whole lot other things that are related to the plot besides the fact that a monster is lurking within the fictional small town of Lillian. The only other thing I'm going to tell you is that a group of children were filming a Super 8 film (that's where the movie got its title) during the event of the train crash. And as a bonus, I'm going to tell you another thing: the events in "Super 8" will remind you of many of Steven Spielberg's films.
When watching this film, expect a lot of sudden monstrous attacks throughout the film. It will happen a lot of times and some will happen in the most unlikely scenes. So beware and keep your eyes open, the monster is everywhere.
The acting was convincing and satisfying for audiences to enjoy the film. The special effects were amazing and the script was nothing awkward. It was just - wow!
However, what amuses me is how they can use little children as brave heroes. Harry Potter is a young hero yes, but this, against aliens! And another thing: the main character, Joe is depicted in earning C- (or C+, I forgot), but amazingly, he can lead a group of other kids his age (apparently his friends) and devise a plan for saving his other friends. How amazing isn't it!
Despite the amusing things, the main culprit, the downside of this movie is no other than the ending. The ending was bland and felt too rushed. After an amazing approx. 100-minute run, the final minutes of the film was disappointing. I figured out the ending could have been much, much better.
But overall, I do recommend this movie to all movie adventurers, people who hunger for sudden scares, as well as Steven Spielberg's films. For movie adventurers, this film will take you on an adventure that will keep you hooked from beginning to ending. For moviegoers who loved to be scared suddenly, this movie will give you monstrous attacks that will get you shocked, even if you're almost immune to being shocked (sorry for putting too many "shocks"). For lovers of Steven Spielberg, this movie will remind you of your Spielberg favorites ("E.T.", "War of the Worlds", etc.).
One statement about "Super 8": "Super 8" is super great!
