Saw Super 8 last night. Simply fantastic. The kids were great. It's the first 'summer blockbuster' film I've seen in long while that cares about the characters and takes time to get to know them. It's like Stand By Me+The Goonies+ET+Close Encounters+Jaws.

8 out of 10 balls.

I must agree with your assessment of super 8. Only i kind of resent it because its responsible for the long delay for star trek 12, or 2 as its now being called.

That and crap like MI4. Which JJ is not even directing.
