ET wanna go home darn it!

Rating: 7/10 (29 October 2011)

Read the review by prolific IMDb author bkoganbing, an author from a city where I use to live. I share his/her premise and most all his/her opinions here so I'll do my best not to break the rules and avoid plagiarizing this reviewer/author. This Steven Spielberg production directed by J.J. Abrams was almost surely going to be a hit simply with those two names behind it. These two creators did wonders with the cast of unknowns and kids; I'm not just saying that. Early on in the movie, it was clear we would not have a bad word to say about the cast.
The special effects, trade mark of quality by the Spielberg bunch, also do not disappoint. I knew if I read the storyline beforehand, I might have postponed watching it for a while but thankfully I did not. Entertaining, adrenaline generating action scenes and slick suspense moments. One of the best popcorn and Coke movie so far. By now, if you've read many of my reviews you may realize that I consider movies and how a person reacts to them, even the type of movies one tends to watch, as a barometer of their temperament, romantic, adrenalin junky, misanthrope, nice and kind, intolerant etc... If your date or husband finds too much to complain about this movie and goes on and on about that, he's doing the same about you behind your back. I enjoyed Super 8 and it deserves the good ratings. I gave it a good rating despite the Alien character; that one sucked.
