SUPA DUPA EIGHT

Have you ever seen E.T.? it's a cute movie about an alien trying to get home. Well, Super 8 is the same story except imagine that E.T. resembled a giant spider and ate people.  Mix that with a coming of age story and a tale of coming to terms with grief. and you've got yourself a Super 8. All of the thrills and scares were predictable and expected, but they packed a punch all the same.  I would say the best thing that they did with the movie was that, even though the alien murdered people throughout the entire movie, somehow the audience (or maybe it was just me) didn't hate the thing. The more you found out about the monster, the more you came to feel sorry for it.  All of the actors and actresses involved did an amazing job.


And by the way, LOVED the little zombie movie they were filming the whole time.  It was a really cool touch.
