The secrets of his new film are that it is still a secret.

Re: Super 8 (produced by JJ Abrams)
 

I could not agree more. I am not a sports fan in general, so I didn't see this ad during the Super Bowl. I'm glad I was able to see it tonight -- for a short ad that was a pretty powerful display of visuals, editing, and great music. I will definitely be seeing this film on opening day.

Re: Super 8 (produced by JJ Abrams)
 

Loved The Music in the TV Spot. Also Really like the look of the film based on the trailer. Cant Wait for this one.

Re: Super 8 (produced by JJ Abrams)
 

Same here...was not expecting that at all and somewhat already let down but obviously...it really is still too early to tell.

Re: Super 8 (produced by JJ Abrams)
 

Nothing about the spot captured a Spielberg feel whatsoever aside from the music

Re: Super 8 (produced by JJ Abrams)
 

100% disagree. The entire spot felt like we're getting the Spielberg we all came to know and love. It feels like this would've been released in the era of Close Encounters, E.T., Gremlins and The Goonies.

Re: Super 8 (produced by JJ Abrams)
 

I hope the movie is at least more tense than any of those three were. The way it was hyped up before recently you were made to think it was a mix of science fiction and terror. Now I'm not sure what to think about this. Is it a monster movie mixed with drama surrounding a group of friends? Or is it drama focusing on the friends first and the monster or whatever it is simply being the motor that keeps the movie going? I guess I'm not as hyped up about this movie actually seeing that new trailer as I was when I first read the synopsis and saw the teaser months ago.

Re: Super 8 (produced by JJ Abrams)
 

1) Matthew noted four movies -- not three.

2) All four of the movies mentioned are genuine classics. I'd rather have a film on par with one of those gems than another mindless summer action film.

3) Super 8 will still have a lot of tension in it. I'm actually surprised you would think otherwise. The teaser was rather intense, and it's from J.J. Abrams (Alias, Lost, Mission Impossible 3, Star Trek).

Re: Super 8 (produced by JJ Abrams)
 

I don't think I'd call The Goonies a genuine classic. Perhaps amongst fanboys, but an absolute cinematic classic? I'm not too sure about that.

Re: Super 8 (produced by JJ Abrams)
 

I would rather it lean more towards the monster feel than the feel good Goonies, E.T., Close Encounters or even Gremlins feel of those 80s flicks. I enjoyed them all and still do but unfortunately I'm not 13 years old anymore and want to see things more geared my horror tastes than teen dramas.

Re: Super 8 (produced by JJ Abrams)
 

Honestly...I think The Goonies is a fun movie and well made. Is it amazing? fuck no. I hated the film as a kid and I still do. I'm not entertained by it at all. I can see that it's well made and can be fun...but not for me. BUT on the grounds of quality? Sure..it's a good film..it's nowhere near being a cinematic classic.

Saying that, I might need to defend myself. I grew up in the Church of 80s action ass kicking and HK movies w/ some Sesame Street thrown in there. I didn't grow up loving some of the crap you guys love. The Goonies to me as a kid..was boring and stupid. I still think it's boring and stupid for me as an adult..but I can see it's filmmaking quality. My favorite film as 3 yr. old-9yrs old? Robocop. Yeah...that's the earliest memory of my life right there. Seeing Murphy's hand (1989) just..WOOSH! in slow motion...

I understand what you are trying to say. However, what you said also makes no sense to me. ;)

Re: Super 8 (produced by JJ Abrams)
 

oh. my. god.

most anticipated movie of the year for me.

Re: Super 8 (produced by JJ Abrams)
 

That looks awesome. Totally get an ET/Goonies vibe which I love.

Re: Super 8 (produced by JJ Abrams)
 

Just loving the tone of this movie.

Re: Super 8 (produced by JJ Abrams)
 

Unquestionably. The trailer makes me feel like I'm 8 again.

Re: Super 8 (produced by JJ Abrams)
 

Still on the fence.

But that is a good trailer.

Re: Super 8 (produced by JJ Abrams)
 

Meh, I don't see why everyone's hyped over it

Re: Super 8 (produced by JJ Abrams)

Looks interesting. But what the fuck is it about?

Re: Super 8 (produced by JJ Abrams)
 

That's exactly what I don't like about it, but at the same time, I'm curious.
