There’s websites with Photoshopped pictures of movie posters, with what they would say if they were honest, and Super 8 was “ET with lens flare.”
I think I would have enjoyed this motion picture a lot more if I had seen it at night during prime time instead of the morning. Super 8 is one of those films that are meant to be seen during certain hours of the day. Attack of the Block is another example of this type for me. A film like Mr. Popper’s Penguins could be enjoyed anytime during the day.
As for as the motion picture’s production, it is well made. Super 8 is good and better than the average Hollywood film.
