2011 Movies: #25

#25 Super 8

Despite an ending that required quite a bit of suspension of disbelief, I thoroughly enjoyed Super 8. Everything was well done - natural dialogue, logical progression of events (which says quite a lot for a film premised on *spoiler alert* alien visitors), plenty of suspense and humor, and not too much slime. All of the young actors were superb and, as Mulhern said, it did feel very much like a fond homage to coming of age a few decades ago. I especially enjoyed the zombie film that screened throughout the credits.
