Review of Super 8 (2011) by Anna B — 04 Apr 2015
Shouldn't work as well as it does. The best thing about the movie is the genuine-feeling rapport the group of kids has. So when they start running around dodging explosions and yelling over gunfire it seems pretty silly.
But the movie keeps working, maybe because you can imagine that this is just the movie that they were trying to make, and the one that plays over the credits is what they ended up with. Though really, JJ, did you have to turn Elle Fanning into a damsel in distress? That was pretty unforgivable.
