It's not about the alien.

I actually like JJ, because his production company brings interesting, off-the-wall genre things to TV that nobody else does. Maybe they aren't perfect, but it's not medical dramedy number 27 or legal drama 746 or police procedural 959 or reality show number 8427421.
As far as Super-8 goes, I enjoyed the movie up until about the last half hour. It just fell apart. It was eerily reminiscent of a Stephen King novel. Great set up, and I thought interesting characters, but man-oh-man they were so incredibly far off from sticking that landing.
