The parallels to Netflix's Stranger Things are amazing. Netflix really chose a good enough movie as the show's influence. It's somehow unrealistic in a lot of ways but it's still a fine movie for a rainy evening.

It was like watch E.T and The Goonies at the same time, but with the knowledge we have nowadays.
I really enjoyed it and Michael Giachinno was wonderful as always.
J.J Abrams abusing of lens flare, as expected, but it wasn't a bad thing most of the time.

Super 8 pretty much was going for what Stranger Things succeeded at better. There’s a touching story here but Stranger Things is a better love letter to Spielberg.
The movie is Romeo and Juliet except with an escaped alien. Joe likes Alice but their parents don’t want them hanging out. Since Alice’s dad got drunk and killed Joe’s mom in a car crash.
A little too much of the movie is about that and moving on. That it outshadows the Sci-Fi aspect. As well as the love letter to Spielberg aspect.
Seeing the movie again. I do have more respect for it though. I also realize that as a series, Stranger Things has way more time to work with. Super 8 is a sweet movie that is good at pushing out happy tears but that’s mostly it.

@jim222001 it's odd, so many people like stranger things. It's horribly boring and paste and copy all the way. In addition, the cast is annoying as fuck.

Super entertaining film, at least until the final act, which can't live up to what's come earlier.

The interaction between the kids is so good, the nostalgia of the bygone 1980's so thick, that the finale's CGI monster thrills fall short. Not that anything is wrong with how the movie wraps up, it just can't compare to the relationships we examined up to that point.

The kid actors are seriously good. In fact, Abrams isn't just channeling Speilberg, he's copying him. This is E.T. with a nastier alien. And the thrills generated by the train crash shown in the trailer are nothing next to the full-length crash, which is the highlight of the movie as far as I'm concerned.

I found this JJAbrams popcorn flick disappointing. The trailers and reviews suggested a classic Spielberg-crafted ET/Goonies story, but though it began like that, followed by what is probably the most spectacular train derailment scene in any movie, it then slowly devolves into a bland monster vs military script with no character development and no substance. Not deserving of Spielberg's name.

I loved the filme but I don't know why I still feel is missing something. I don't know what. I really got stunned with the train scene... That's a great job of JJ and Spielberg but just like someone has already said... it's not E.T.

It's fun, but forgettable, and that really sucks. I want to give it a higher rating.
