Box Office Guru Wrapup: Super 8 Captures #1 Spot

Nice work, Super 8. I'll see that when I get around it. I haven't seen X-Men and I'm going later today. I can wait for Super 8 and Green Lantern. After X-Men, Cars 2 and Transformers, baby!

Finally. Someone who's excited for Cars 2, like me.

I liked Cars, but Cars 2 trailers haven't really excited me, but it's Pixar so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.

Midnight in Paris had kind of an odd story but was charming and a bit romantic. I need to checkout Super 8, and think I'll backtrack and see Pirates (I liked 2 and 3 more than most).

I too liked Pirates 2 & 3 more than most, but just a warning in advance, its extreamley likely you will not enjoy the 4th one as much as the others. For a person whose had to see it 3 times (yes sadly, I was dragged to see it that last time) I would have to say, each time afterwords it left a sour taste in my mouth that gradually got worse and worse.

Super 8 is one of the best movies oust so far this summer, you'll enjoy that. In fact see this one 3 times and skip Pirates all together.

So its agreed then? Super 8 and X-Men: First Class are pretty much awesome.

I really don't like Marshall much as a director, so that doesn't supprise me. I do have higher hopes for Super 8, and I agree that X-Men was pretty much awesome.

I loved Midnight in Paris. It sort of reminded of The Purple Rose of Cairo. It's a nice alternative to all of these big summer blockbusters.

Glad you enjoyed it, Cairo was the previous Allen film that it also reminded me of.

This is one of the best movies I've ever seen. Maybe some of you think I'm over exaggerating but I was entertained all throughout the movie. Everything about this movie was awesome to me. The characters felt so real, the plot is original & nice, the soundtrack, the acting, everything was so cool! :) And I give props to Joel Courtney for that being his first film ever, he did a really good job. Elle Fanning did a great job too. I especially loved how the movie was set in 1979, ... definitely a throw-back of The Goonies, Stand By Me, and E.T. I could totally sense classic Steven Spielberg in this movie.

The Elke Fanning acting scene reminded me of the ET screen test that's on YouTube.

Great commercial. Who doesn't love them some Kevin Bacon?

I just got home from seeing Super 8, and I must say that while I liked it a LOT, it fell a bit short of my expectations. I'll definitely see it again at some point (in theaters or on rental; heck I might even buy it), but I agree with some of the others that it worked better as a coming-of-age story than a monster movie. I mean, in the end it was still a coming-of-age story, but it felt a bit disjointed in the second half; I feel like the monster story-arc should have been more in the background. Still a good movie, GREAT performances by the young actors, especially Joel Courtney and Elle Fanning, and it did have that classic 80s feel to it.
