Great Movie!!!!!

Rating: 8/10 (8 July 2011)

Having just come from watching Transformers which was supposed to be the summer blockbuster I appreciate super 8 even more now.
There was great acting by very young actors, a great story within the story and a real connection to the creature in this film. At the end you were rooting for the alien which means that through the film the audience was able to attach emotionally.
I found the main characters to be funny but perhaps too brave for their age since, given the somewhat introverted personality of the lead he continued to show a lot more resolve and grit that would be expected from a 10/11 year old boy who makes model trains and does make up ...
Very little to criticise on this film ... Go see it
