Super 8 is a 10

Rating: 10/10 (17 June 2011)

When I go to a movie I take a notebook. I usually jot down a few items about the movies as I watch. I can look back at my notes and see the movies that really engaged by the amount of notes I take during a movie. For this film, I have only one note in my book: "loved it! " I was completely engaged throughout the picture. Every aspect of this movie was masterfully done. The acting, the storytelling, set design -- everything was done really well. The pace of the story was fine and the balancing act between all of the human emotions is awesome. Some people have said that it's a cross between The Goonies and Cloverfield. I would say "yes and no". I will explain more later. Right now let me go into other aspects of the movie. I am going to give this movie a full-on green light. I count this as a win for J.J. Abrams To read more of my review go here http://fatsamuraireviews.blogspot.com/2011/06/super-8.html
