The early fanboy buzz is out and its very. very strong. Definately an 80's Spielberg vibe.
http://www.slashfilm.com/early-buzz-...+%28%2FFilm%29 Slashfilm: Loved it, they don’t make these types of movies anymore. The best thing I can say about the film is that I loved the characters/setting/tone so much that I probably would have enjoyed it just as much as a Stand By Me-like coming of age drama without the sci-fi/train crash/action. Its one of those films that feels like it was made just for me. (someone asked if its more E.T. or Cloverfield, I responded: It’s Cloverfield with the characters and setting of E.T. FirstShowing: absolutely loved it, lived up to my high expectations. Felt like watching an Amblin classic. Of course, it’s expected I’d love it, considering how excited I was for it, but yes, it’s that good. Really need to see it again! Collider: It’s great. Made me feel like a kid again Jen Yamato: I enjoyed Super 8′s Goonies vibe; the kids are great. Has its problems, but none are deal breakers for me…though they will be for others. LA Times Hero Complex: Remember how the academy expanded the best picture race to include crowdpleasers and sublime spectacle films? Meet “Super 8″… Jenna Busch: #Super8 is AMAZING!!!! Nostalgic, action-packed and just damn entertaining! Woot! Meli_Molina: Yeppers, I certainly did like it quite a bunch. JimmyO: Super 8 is pure movie magic! Let’s just say it is truly spectacular! BloodyDisgusting: On a positive note, I can reveal I have seen Super 8 and LOVED it. STYD News: Cool monster mash w/terrific ensemble cast. Nostalgia might blind you to its problems. Still, I liked it. Full review to come! Steve Barton: Wow. Just wow. Days later I’m still happy it’s like Christmas for monster movie fans! BDK Reviews: Easily the best movie of 2011 so far! JRothC: It was everything I wanted it to be. A coming-of-age sci-fi adventure like the classics I love. Super 8′s great for older kids AND grown-ups who long for the classic sci-fi films of the late ’70s and ’80s. Longer review to come — but I loved it — think you will too! ThomasLeupp: ‘Super 8′ is terrific: very scary, surprisingly funny, only slightly marred by forced Spielbergian sentiment. TreyAlexMovies: Super 8 is an adventurous blast! A thriller with a heart and laughs. Abrams and Spielberg are a great team. Manny Movies: SUPER 8 is funny, spooky, haunting, uplifting…old school filmmaking at its finest…YOU WILL LOVE IT! Devincf: If JJ Abrams ever got a good script he would be an amazing director. SUPER 8 script is a huge mess. SUPER 8 simply has no idea what kind of movie it wants to be. Kids are great, looks nice, has no throughline… JakesTakes: Congratulations, JJ Abrams. You just made the best movie of 2011 stevezaragoza: AMAZING, WONDERFUL, SUPERB, HEARTWARMING, EXCITING, SPECTACULAR! Now who wants to touch me?! RowenetReview: I loved it! Check it out when it comes out June 10! Best movie I’ve seen all year. |

Seems like they threw "Stand By Me", "E.T.", "Jaws", and "Cloverfield" into a blender.

Good ol' devin. If he sees that other people like it, he won't. 'cause he's a rebel like that.

I'm hopeful that this one has real alien stuff going on, and that it's not one of those films where some deep secret military conspiracy is going on headed by a cartoony 'evil' general, that would suck.

Oh, well. With "Pirates 4" sinking like it's been cannonballed, someone decided we should run "Super 8" in IMAX. So I'll be getting a print any time between now and Monday and building it and test-running late Tuesday night. I'll let you know what I think.

Good film, exactly what we expected. The weird mishmash of "coming of age" with scifi/horror is a bit too weird to make it a great film but thanks to the Abrams/Spielberg feel (and two great young leads) it works. Some legitimate "drop your popcorn" jump moments too.
