I grew up in the 80's. I first movie my parents ever took me to was E.T. When i got older i watched other great 80's movies, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Stand by Me, The Explorers, and The Thing. That is that this movie is, all of them rolled up into one. This movie has nostalgic written all over it. I just want to say that i really really love this movie. When i first saw the teaser of this movie was with the midnight showing of Iron Man 2, and as soon as i saw it i knew right than and there i was going to the midnight showing of this film. 7 months later super bowl Sunday was the first viewing of anything of this movie. Just the start alone with the music (witch sounds so much like John Williams), and seeing that Ambin (Steven's Production company) i really felt like i was 6 years old ago again. After that every time when i saw the trailer at the movie theater i more i wanted to see it. Than the day before opening night they release the film early so June 9th i saw the 1040 showing. Let me say from the opening till the end i loved this film. It really felt it was directed by Steven himself just louder and with lens flares (JJ Abrams (the director) signature.) The magic of the film really goes to the kids of this film witch gave it that Stand by Me feel to it. That you were on adventure with them. With out giving too much away of this film (for those that haven't seen it) It's almost like an old 1950's B movie where the kids see something but no one believes them, and its up to them to stop it or really get the word out. This is the only real summer original film thats coming out, and i strongly urge you to go out, and see this film more than once. I found my self enjoying it more the 2nd viewing. If your an honest huge movie buff that grew up in the 80's with films that you still talk about and love today i really think you will enjoy Super 8. It hits all the right key moments and on the inside your going to feel like a kid again. I turely give it a 10 out of 10
