Its not to scary, at least not for me however this is the perfect date night movie. Its thrilling, suspenseful and good get a good laugh from the tweens. Excellent movie Cute love story

I just finished watching Super 8 and I have to honestly say I don't know what to think about this movie. The idea of the movie was incredible as well as the CGI, but at times it just felt like a darker version of E.T or the Goonies. Now don't get me wrong I don't think the movie was horrible I enjoyed it, but I can honestly say its not the greatest movie I have seen this year so far. Which makes me wonder was it actually a good movie or just a flop, check it out and decide for yourself, I just don't think this movie was for everyone.

The storyline was good - as if reading a well-written book...but not as visually exciting or entertaining as XMen or Transformers. The ending was also cheesy and cliche. The movie was like a mix of The Goonies (because the main characters are a group of kids) and ET.

Super 8 is one of my favorite movies of all time. It was made by two amazing people director JJ Abrams and Steven Spielberg and they did an amazing job. It included great actors like Elle Fanning, even new actors like Joel Courtney but they did amazing jobs as well. i loved all the action and special affects as well, that will literally throw you back in your seats. The last thing this movie has is a nice love story with it among a few of the 6 kids. If you love action, romance, and science fiction this is a great movie for you! It is and probably will be for a long time, my favorite movie!

This director's favorite style seems to be: "Leave it to their imagination, and give 'em a little pay-off at the end." His movies and TV shows are fantastic at raising curiosity and questions... but forget to entertain along the way. I for one am tired of it. Super 8 is no different... the majority of the movie plays like a coming of age tale, with just enough snippets of action and alien attack sprinkled in to keep you in your seat. the payoff doesn't come until the last 20 minutes or so. Not a bad movie, but not worthy of having Spielberg's name attached to it... it's an overhyped E.T. re-do with a PG-13 rating, and less heart. Think "Lost" + "E.T."+ Cloverfield, minus the shaky cam shooting.
