i don’t even know where to start cuz Super 8 is literally my fav movie ever. like ever. i’ve seen it prob 20 times and it still hits every single time. the vibes, the music, the cast, the way it’s shot—PERFECT. the kids feel like real kids not like fake movie kids and the whole thing feels like something that could’ve actually happened if aliens were real lol. it’s funny and sad and scary and exciting and just everything all in one. and the train crash scene?? bruh. LEGENDARY. also i love how it’s like a love letter to old school Spielberg movies but still totally its own thing. it’s got that nostalgic feeling but doesn’t try too hard. and the ending always makes me cry no matter what 😭 anyway if u haven’t seen Super 8 yet idk what you’re doing w your life. go watch it. masterpiece. forever a comfort movie.

A flashback to the 80s teenager centred blockbuster feel. A good watch.

This movie is amazing. It's like The Goonies meets Stranger Things meets an alien mythology episode of the earlier seasons of The X Files. All things I love. It's great. The characters are amazing. I love stories with younger casts fighting against adults, like in The Goonies and Stranger Things. And I love stories with government cover ups like The X Files. And this movie has all of that and more. The effects are amazing and the creature design on the alien itself is fantastic. You don't really see it until the last 20ish minutes and I love when that happens. When you don't get a clear shot of the monster or alien of a movie until the end, leaving an air of mystery around it. The train accident that starts off the events of the movie is well done, with a lot of explosions. The acting is great, especially from the younger cast. And as a movie and filmmaking fan, I loved how the kids were making a movie inside the movie. The end credits even play their finished movie. I hope to make movies like this someday. The camera work was great, especially on the train accident and alien attacks. You don't even see the alien attacks, you just hear it. It's amazing and highly recommend this movie. It's great

One of the best movies I've seen this century.

I love this movie! It reminds me of Stranger Things in a way. I love the relationship between the strange creature and Joe. The friendship between the kids was great too.

Another movie that got itself so engulfed by its pretty cool sci fi that it doesn't even know how to end cool, so love becomes the question to an answer that doesn't make sense

O filme tem uma boa história,e bons personagens, porém eu achei que faltava algo a mais alí,como desenvolver mais alguns personagens e os eventos que estão ocorrendo

E.T TRIFFT AUF DIE GOONIES Im Jahr 1979 wollen vier Kinder nichts weiter als einen Zombiefilm drehen. Ein schweres Zugunglück und das einrücken der Air Force erschweren nicht nur das drehen, sondern bahnt sich auch eine riesige Verschwörung an. Nur die Kinder können das Unheil aufhalten, denn wer würde ihnen schon glauben? Super 8 von 2011 geht ca. 112 Minuten und ist ab 12 Jahren freigegeben. Wir haben hier einen Sci-Fi-Thriller von J.J. Abrams mit unteranderem Elle Fanning in der Hauptrolle. Wir haben hier Kinder die kindische Dinge tun um dabei möglichst heldenhaft ihre kleine Stadt zu retten. Ich mochte die Dynamik der Kinder, sie sind vorlaut und haben kein benehmen, wachsen aber jeder für sich im Laufe der Story über sich hinaus. Besonders die kleine Liebesgeschichte zwischen Joe und Alice wirkte auf mich sehr gut, alleine schon weil Elle Fanning einfach nur Zucker ist. Die Handlung selbst ist in zwei Abschnitte unterteilt, einmal die Filmdreh Sache sowie das Kennenlernen der Charaktere und zum anderen das Mysterium um das was aus dem Zug geflohen ist. Die Figuren selbst, besonders die Kinder, machen überwiegend Spaß. Die beiden wichtigen Väter sind typische Versager die ihre Kinder nicht verstehen und alles tun zu einem Romeo&Julia Effekt los zu treten. Das Finale erinnert dann sehr an E.T., aber überzeugen kann besonders der Humor. Der kommt richtig gut, wie aus der Pistole geschossen. Leider wirkten die Emotionen auf mich nicht und manche Entscheidungen wirken überhastet. Am Ende bleibt ein Werk in dem die Kinder mal nicht nerven, die Story nicht neu ist aber unterhält und der Humor kann überzeugen. Von mir bekommt der Film 7,5/10 Punkten. Die Charakterentwicklung von Joe ist cool gemacht, allerdings auch typisch Schema F.

Não sei se o fato de eu ter assistido na escola sem me focar muito foi um fator determinante ou se só eu odiei esse filme por não entender alguma coisa. Eu só achei um filme... Chato. Não me cativou nem nada e a atuação do muleque em uma cena ai me pegou um pouco... Não

When I first saw it I didn't really care for it. You don't see the monster much and it doesn't develop a relationship with the lead characters at all. But given the current landscape of films this film sticks out of what is possible in films. It has its flaws but the characters are great, the acting is very well done, only a few pop culture references and it's not that egregious. The large set pieces are great and have weight to them. Check it out.

One if the greatest, most suspensfull movies ever created

One of my Abrams favorites. Wish they had a sequel.

Certainly directed by a Spielberg worshipper, Super 8 primarily benefits from its darker retelling of classic stories like E.T. and Goonies, while the rest often leaves something to be desired.

Stand by Me, Close Encounters, ET and Alien all rolled into one. A great sci-fi mystery thriller with a cool storyline and uplifting message. Easy to watch and follow and just be entertained. A cool look back at the late 70's. I just wish there were more references for those who grew up then. I didn't mind this movie being a little longer.

Solid plot line with a family vibe. similar to stranger things, great acting and totally worth watching

Stranger Things before Stranger Things

A good movie. Combination coming of age, tween love story, redemption, scifi and horror. It works young Elle Fanning is a pleasure and whole cast is very good.

Now I know where did the 'Stranger things' idea came from....

Really glad I circled back to this. Better than I remembered it when I first watched as a teen.

I had such high hopes for this film but I ended up being board and uninterested in the characters. As an homage to Spielberg it was very lacking.
