Cheesy & clichéd

Rating: 2/10 (11 June 2011)

OMG, if you wanted to combine all genres of movies together you get super 8. It has all the right technical aspects, time period realism, good direction & acting,& special effects, but the story & lines are a crock.
The movie was slow, people were actually fidgeting in their seats, the lines were wooden, & the believability factor was dead zero. How could JJ get it so wrong, the script is so predicable, & the alien looked like he was stolen from the aliens movies. You would think if you do an alien film, at least re-invent the wheel, don't use someone else's alien.
There is no mystery to this film, except that it is so bad.It will only get you in because of Spielberg & JJ, & the cryptic ads This film may have been believed in the 80's, but now people have moved on beyond aliens, & government conspiracies & cover-ups, this film failed on script & story, it is too clichéd & cheesy.
JJ you can do much better, & you have done much better, look at Star Trek, there was not one remotely funny moment in this film. I need to see another film just to was out the bad taste in the mouth of this one. Give me ET, or Close Encounters any time.
