Super 8

Having recently watched the very good Super, I thought I would skip right through Supers 2 – 7 and go right to 8. But, lo and behold this is actually not part of the Super franchise. It actually is a monster movie set in the 1980’s that attempts to mimic an early 80’s Spielberg production like Goonies or E.T.. I liked this one for the most part, clichés and all. But, the last act, when the monster is finally revealed, lacks any of the excitement that the first two-thirds of the film foreshadowed.
