A lot of kids drama and not a lot of monster

Saw it last night and wasn't all that impressed. But I'm not usually a fan of kids in movies, so that might have colored my perception. I can imagine a lot of impatience wading through the kids drama for the alien reveal/monster action.
You will be shocked, Harry Knowles (PWEASANTS!) positive review of SUPER 8 notfabio Jun 01, 06:01
Drew's more reserved positive review at Hitfix. notfabio Jun 01, 06:04
I just read the review over at ComingSoon.net. Mixed. Seems there's a lot of pastiche going on in the film. (Homage taken too far?) Facto Jun 01, 06:26

Yes, she's becoming better than her older sister. {nm} secretstalker Jun 01, 07:30
You make it sound a bit E.T.-ish {nm} Facto Jun 01, 07:42
I'm pretty sure that was what Abrams was going for. I never liked how Paramount tried marketing it as a monster horror. {nm} tribefan695 Jun 01, 11:38
Seems that it's a little of both. There can be no doubt that (spoiler) Facto Jun 01, 11:54
