There was a previous post with a negative interview and I had expressed my disappointment. Landshark pointed out that it's Rotten Tomatoes score was high and that the bad review may be isolated.
I'm strangely uninterested in this whole thing. I can't really say why. It just looks dull.

[Image] From ew [excerpt], Loving, Playful, and spectacularly well made, Super 8 is easily the best summer movie of the year — of many years. And I make that declaration with full knowledge that the season has just begun. It's been eons since a movie has conjured up such intense, specific feelings, images, memories, and nostalgic fantasies about American summertime youth — everyone's American summertime youth, regardless of current age, nationality, sex, or climate. It's been ages since adolescent innocence, fatherly authority, and everyday awe were in movie vogue. This irresistible story of middle-school-age kids who set out to make a zombie flick, accidentally witness a sensational train crash, and become involved in a tale of extraterrestrial mystery straight out of an E.T.-era Steven Spielberg pic may leave viewers dumbstruck: How have we survived for so long on such a meager, high-cal, low-nutrition diet of processed summertime superhero sequels?
"Super 8 great?"

You called it, Landshark. This makes me happy.

Wait, what did Landshark say?
I'd like this movie to be good, but I don't trust Liza Schwarzbaum. She's an old biddy.
