Watch old movies instead

Rating: 5/10 (3 December 2011)

As many others have said Super 8 is a mix of old movie themes from Spielburger classics. Its not bad, not good, just mind numbing "okay-ness". The story is plodding and slow throughout, but tolerable because of the sweet little kid romance thang going on.
The mis-understood alien surprised me but it still didn't entertain me either. Thus, our enemy is not our enemy and we simply fight against the evil inside us. Hard for me to get fired up about Zen aliens...
To top it off my wife and I got in a fight half way through the movie about my mother. If you're married you will understand.
Skip Super 8 and watch a classic alien movie instead.
