So, I saw Super 8, for which I was pretty excited. The trailer peeked my interest. So, how was it?
It sucked.
No, really, this movie sucks hard. The trailer shows off super-natural things happening, people being attacked, trains being crashed and exciting stuff. But I swear that the movie is at least 80% of stupid scenes with the kids that aren't really doing anything, talking about their parents, falling in love with one another, talking about love triangles that go nowhere, them shooting a silly zombie movie and all around being so freakin' boring.
HEY! I came to see an action/thriller movie about a giant monster killing stuff! I don't care about some kids shooting a movie or the fact that one of the kid's mother is dead. I mean who cares? Cloverfield wasn't great, but, at least, they didn't have a fifteen minutes scene where they talk about their dead mother.
And the ending is an E.T rip-off. Yes, an E.T rip-off in 2011. Just think about that, for a minute.
