Love ain't enough

Rating: Null/10 (16 September 2011)

You can really do everything well, but still blight a picture with one poor choice. 70's feel loved, kids at risk, loved it, a real sense of yearning done with flare, loved it...computer generated monster that destroyed the movie. I've seen worse effects, but it just basically flushed the movie. Super 8 could have had it all, but I picture somebody having to show this to J.J. and him being willing to go along with it. He loved everything else, thought he could swallow the cgi. I couldn't and didn't. The 70's feel was right on, it said early Spielberg like Close Encounters and Jaws. The cast worked the script. Super 8 could say quite a bit about how to make a fun film. I loved the disappearing leaders, and government shutdown. Three Mile Island. An invisible alien may have improved it.
