Re: Super 8 (Abrams, 2011)- The Reviews Thread

I saw it today. I wanted to vote 3.5 but I didn't have that option so I went with 3 instead of 4.

I mostly liked it but it is very derivative, some of that having more of a Goonies (ugh) feel than an ET feel.

I liked the first third and second third much more than the last. It is very predictable and cliched and much of that last third seems rather awkward.

Edit: Never mind. I just saw the other thread and voted 3.5. This thread should probably be closed.
