    Opens this weekend, I might be down for this one.
    I told myself I was going to pass on this after being disappointed by War of the Worlds. Reviews are swaying me to watch it this weekend which I might.

        I've been looking forward to this ever since it was announced. I can't wait to see it this weekend.

        If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

                Re: JJ Abrams - Super 8

                I saw this earlier today. It was a special kind of movie, the kind where youngsters star in the film and they don't disappoint. At all. The actors were fantastic, and they delivered moments of heart, humor, and horror.

                I personally think that, although the intertwining tones were a different match from, say, what we saw in E.T., Abrams knocked this one out of the park. The story and characters were enticing, the novelty was appealing, and it was just another cool thing that J.J. could put on his resume.

                Coming into this movie I thought the special effects would be awful. Outside of the CGI antagonistic elements, there weren't any issues here. I encourage everyone sees it, though it's not the most recommended feature of the year either (at least because it's not for everybody).

                Best line of the movie: "Drugs are so bad!"

                  Thought it was a solid flick, nothing amazing. Was hoping to get something truly special kinda like E.T., but was a bit disappointed. I was definitely entertained throughout the movie, I just wasn't wow'd with the ending I guess. There was no E.T. bike flying moment for me I guess.

                      Just saw it and thought it was awesome. Really thought the young actors in this one were great. And the "Drugs are so bad" line had me dying.

                        Great performance by all the young actors. Like someone else said it was a solid movie but not anything amazing.

                          I thought it was a very good movie. I normally don't like movies with kids as the main focus, but all of them were great in this movie. Definitely thought it was better than Cloverfield.

                              movie was phenomenal!
                              Kids were awesome, so many great lines.
                              I will probably see this again.
