I think if they showed more of the secret, chances are I would have liked it more, and maybe would have been more impressed. Oh well, hope you enjoy, and I will be looking for your review.

I hope I like it more than you did. Great review though!George Beremov [Nebular]https://www.blogger.com/profile/15136154142341512854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2871262178483802731.post-55135496723021093992011-06-21T14:17:22.920-04:002011-06-21T14:17:22.920-04:00Sandman: You just want me to do more work like I&#...Sandman: You just want me to do more work like I'm not busy enough. Glad you liked the comparison. I think that movie came to mind because I saw it more recently than some of the other movies that Super 8 has been compared to.

I didn't think of that movie the first time but the second time I saw it I felt like it resembled a movie but I couldn't figure out what. I have to say that your assessment of Stand By Me and Super 8 was original and refreshing to read. You need to expand on it!Mr. Johnny Sandmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05052255118249746992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2871262178483802731.post-59347860656158793542011-06-20T09:52:58.587-04:002011-06-20T09:52:58.587-04:00Fritz: I wrote this review based largely off my ex...Fritz: I wrote this review based largely off my expectations for the movie based on the previews and what I read before seeing it. In turn, it left me disappointed that the "secret" wasn't involved as much as I hoped, and wasn't the focus of the movie. Having said that, if I distance myself from what I expected, it is a good movie. I just would have had the focus on the secret and less on the kids.

This was definitely more of a “coming of age movie” than a scary sci-fi flick. I don’t see how Spielberg can take any of the “blame” for this one, as J .J. Abrams is listed as not only the director, but the only screenplay writer as well. Abrams may have been influenced by Spielberg’s genre films, but I don’t think he was intentionally trying to emulate Spielberg’s style. If you read my review on Guardians of the Genre, than you know I liked Super 8 a bit more than yourself. I do think there was enough emphasis on the sci-fi mystery and action elements for it to qualify it as a science fiction movie, but I do understand how someone could be disappointed by Super 8’s equal balance of human and sci-fi spectacle.Fritz "Doc" Freakensteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13209589620766485745noreply@blogger.com
