I had reviewed Super 8 over on my movie thread, I'll dig up the post here in a second.... I actually really liked it, the only movie so far I've ever given a 9 to.... I think I said it was just as good as E.T.... I think the only real reason more people don't attach themselves to the film more, was that the alien wasn't a cute little short guy like E.T. The only negatives I drew from the film, was that it sorta was confused on which direction it wanted to go. Sci-thriller, coming of age tale, etc. (that and the completely over the top train crash...)
But the strongest point was the acting. Typically child actors are the weak point of a film, but they all were terrific. They expressed a sense that they'd all been friends for long time, which you just don't see from young actors.
Not sure which what was the second option you were gonna see, Green Lantern or Cars 2, I was disappointed in both. Green Lantern was just okay, so generic, etc. Cars 2 was an attack on big oil/ethanol promotion tool....
However, yes, I CAN NOT wait to see Transformers 3 tomorrow (err later today). Huge fan, and the positive early reviews only have me more excited.
