Review of Sky High (2005) by Adam S — 22 Aug 2010

This is a good happy movie. It cheers me up. I love any movie with superheroes.

Usually I don?t like movies with young kids, teenagers and such, (The Butterfly Effect, for example) because the actors are terrible, try too hard, ruin the illusion. Sky High, however, had excellent casting because I liked every young actor. I was impressed.

The graphics are fun. It?s very colorful. It had a lot of action, good stuff for a Disney movie. It had a recurring comic book theme that made the movie really pop. It was interesting the whole way through. The director utilized old school superhero movie techniques, the dramatic zooming into faces, and cameras tilted, stuff like that. It?s a really entertaining film to watch. It?s very original. It has good dialogue and it?s actually really funny. It has great humor, not stupid kid stuff or anything. An adult could easily enjoy this film, and of course, so could the kids.

The plot is easy to follow and fun. The son of the best superheroes in the world is starting high school, a special one for kids with super powers. The problem is, he doesn?t have super powers. It?s a great story, with great characters. I liked everybody. Not really, like I would hang out with them, but I thought the characters were well-established and although some were evil in the film, they still were good characters. It also has a stellar soundtrack that complements every scene splendidly. I have no problem with this film.

Watch it if you want to have a good time. I own it and I?m very glad to. I watch it whenever I need a happy colorful movie to lift my spirits, and it works every time.
