While it may not achieve the level of pop culture canonization as the Spielberg films it invokes, Super 8 should inspire many to use their camera-phones for something more creative than a profile pic.

This Spielbergian misstep by J. J. Abrams attempts to be the emotional coming-of-age equivalent of Stand by Me but instead winds up as a cacophonous mishmash of Goonies and War of the Worlds.

Great action sequences and a touching story make Super 8 a great summer blockbuster.

Like Silly Putty, Super 8 is silly fun. It stretches, snaps, and bounces. It's as elastic as pubescent imagination.

Remember the good old days? This is the movie you went to see on a Saturday afternoon in the good old days.

Spielberg and Abrams are the unwitting targets of their own irony.

A diverting but rather pointless affair, undermined by its obsessive and clinical commitment to recreating past glories.
