Speilberg did not direct this.

[fwdude]

I agree. I saw it for “free” and still felt robbed.

[OldNewYork]

It looked a bit overwrought and overrated in its advertising; this would confirm it for me.

[The Sons of Liberty]

The worst movie I’ve seen in years.

[svcw]

I haven’t seen the movie, I probably wont because I can’t figure out why anyone would use a super 8 camera these days.

[Soothesayer9]

I can think of a lot worse films than this. Its not bad at all. War of the worlds was bad!

[GSWarrior]

I didn’t enjoy ET at all. For all of the reasons stated in the above article. It was a manipulative, mean-spirited kids movie.

[discostu]

You take things to seriously. It was a fun ride. And the kids didn’t really have any of the answers until the end, they were just the ones willing to listen. And the zombie movie they were making is a blast.

[clbiel]

I Liked it. It was Goonies meets Cloverfield. A little too much Spielbergian shmaltz at the end, I’ll admit.

[Zathras]

Saved me $10.
Thanks!

Between the trailers and everything I’ve read, the movie looks boring, tired and stupid.

[mmichaels1970]

Too late. The plans have been made. The sleepovers have been setup for a trip to the drive-in double feature tonight. Once I sit through Kung Fu Panda for the first feature, I'm fairly certain Super 8 is going to look like Gone With the Wind.

Since Super 8 doesn't start til something like 11:10pm, I suppose I could sleep through it in the back of my van though.

Thanks for the post....I was going to go to it and won’t now.....Saw Thor and didn’t mind that one! All I could think of though, is good-bye Brad Pitt and Matt Damon—at least for the “lead” “sexy” roles. They are so yesterday.

Thanks for the review. I’ve heard a number of criticisms of this movie.

[MissesBush]

Thanks for the warning. I was thinking of seeing it. Glad I won’t be wasting any money on this thing.

Rule of thumb: The quality of a motion picture tends to be in inverse proportion to the amount of advertising said motion picture receives on tv and radio. If they have to bombard you with ads about it, it means word of mouth wasn’t going to get you through the turnstiles.

This rule tends to be doubly true during the summer months when the whole mission is to get bored teenagers to spend $8-$10 dollars they probably didn’t need to spend.

Kids. Evil U.S. military. Robotic killer soldiers/airmen.

Robotic killer soldiers in ET? I think it's been too long since you last saw ET.

[stinkerpot65]

I saw it and loved it. Might go see it again.

(it's set in 1979 for absolutely no reason except to trot-out old cars, hairstyles, and music).

If it was set in 2011, it would be kinda silly filming it in "Super 8".
