Mo' Like LEGITIMATELY GREAT Super 8! (Nailed It!!)

[Lumenskir]

Thread title pretty much says it all. So far it's the only mandatory summer movie I've seen. As long as you have a soul/don't irrationally hate the Spielbergian 'suburb adventure' movies of yore, you'll find something to like here. It's just a great distillation/love letter.

Specific notes:
-Holy crap, what kind of deal with the devil do you have to make to create a movie starring kids that's not afflicted by a single bad kid actor? Also, I propose a Elle Fanning v. Elizabeth Olson "Previously unknown great actresses from established acting families" battle royale sometime soon.
-Can we pass a law that says that Kyle Chandler has to be the number one choice for all Small Town Father Figure roles?
-I kind of want somebody to deliver a movie made entirely of silent slow mo sequences to Michael Giacchino's doorstep and let him create a score that turns it into the greatest movie ever.
-Stick around during the credits for a delightful showing of the zombie movie the kids are making throughout the movie proper.
