The Truth About Super 8 is...

Rating: Null/10 (10 June 2011)

This is not just about Steven Spielberg or J.J. Abrams... or paying homage to anyone or anything. So do yourself a favor, and put all of that out of your mind when you go see Super 8.
If you are a fan of movies, movie-making, a good storyline, well acted interaction between characters...
Then you will most likely love Super 8.
There is some action, some blood, a few jump scares etc. But the real quality parts of Super 8 is the character relationships and how their stories unfold. Dialogue between the characters is very good and it moves the story along at a good pace in my opinion. They fill in the blanks with facts just when you start to wonder, "Why?"
The alien is indeed mean, creepy, and hard to sympathize with. But if you listen to the reasons, then you will understand why.
The creature is not without compassion. In the end you will not only be happy it has left the planet, but you will also be happy for the alien as well.
