Just watched Super 8.
Uh, I guess it was okay. I realize that some people might really like it or really hate it, I'm having some... mixed feelings, I'd say. I really hated the cliché scene where (Serious spoilers ahead!) Joe (or what's his name) gets captured by the alien and he makes a dumb speech about how the alien doesn't have to die and oh there must be something good in the bottom of it's heart and oh blah blah, and all of the sudden the alien that killed many people and destroyed everything that came in front of it, turns into a good guy and goes off to it's home planet. BRAVO. I loathed that part.
But then again, I did like some parts too. For example, the trainwreck scene was really well made and I liked the beginning of the movie. You kinda don't know what to expect at first, just a bunch of kids making their little movie, but it turns into a mystery. Oh and that cube thing was neat.
Can anyone explain why the movie is called 'Super 8'? I didn't get that.
