A perfect movie

Rating: 10/10 (10 June 2011)

I loved this movie. It reminded me quite a lot of Spielberg's early work especially of E.T. I thought JJ's work as a director and writer was terrific. In my opinion the movie was quite balanced which makes it appealing to people from all ages. I thought the subjects of friendship, family and love were handled perfectly. In this movie of science fiction, aliens and some incredible special effects, I found the perfect representation of that moment in life when your life changes in the case of this movie the first crush you ever have, the moment when you stop being a kid. I think that JJ and Spielberg know how to work together, I really do hope they do something else in the future. With what Hollywood has become this past years, it is hard to find a truly good movie, the kind that stays with you and reminds you why you loved films in the first place, this is one of those movies. I often watch older movies such as Indiana Jones or Back to the Future and I ask myself, why don't they do them this good anymore? Today seeing Super 8 I found a movie that is just that, an original movie as good as those from past years, I am positive it will become a classic.
