Dan O'Neill90 - Some may be annoyed from the constant nostalgia feel of this film, but Super 8 is a J.J. Abrams’ beautiful homage to all of the old Spielberg films of the 80′s with a great screenplay that is funny and emotional, fun action, and just reminds us what Summer blockbusters should always be like.
