Jason and I saw Super 8 tonight.
There was a lot about it that I really liked and a few great bits, but in the end it failed to make the jump to "great".
( Spoilers behind the cut )
Super 8 wasn't quite the movie for me. I can understand why many people love it, but to me it felt like a hodge-podge of homage to the greats, rather than going for great in its own right. But it's by no means a bad way to spend a Friday night and perhaps a preview of better things to come from many of those involved.
