  • Must Go!

    Best found footage /super natural ability /coming-of-age film ever made

    After being disappointed with pretty much every X-men movie, I went in expecting a lot from this film, since it looked to really showcase the most important feature of these types of film; the POWERS!Fortunately, this film surpassed each and every one of my expectations. It embodies everything that makes these types of films enjoyable; a great cast, a relatable storyline, and excellent effects. It is going to be hard for Hollywood to top this one. Don't read any reviews, and just go see it now. I guarantee that you will not be disappointed.

  • So-so

    Good movie.. UNTIL ITS CLOSE TO THE END

    It look so cool in the previews. They put it out to be awesome but the middle starts the down hill process by the ending i was pissed off completely because it wasn't at all what i expected or wanted it to be.. Definetly wait till its in the 5 dollar wal mart bin id say.. not worth the money at the movies or if it goes on DVD Definetly would rather save that extra 25 30 bucks.. Nothing to rush to go see. i wouldn't recommend it to everyone i know. There were some funny parts in it which kept me in the theater besides the fact i spent money on the tickets.

  • Must Go!

    Completely Surpassed my already High Expectations

    i have no idea where these bad reviews are coming from. people obviously have favorite movies and dont allow themselves to like anything else.
    im gonna go ahead and say i am a sucker for superpower movies. ive always been fascinated by them and wanted em! so this movie was a dream come true for me. i loved the idea of 3 teenage kids getting powers, and actually using them the way we would!!! we all know if we had powers, we'd skrew around a little, or alot! These are high school teens and throughout a majority of the first half, we see them pull practical jokes and whatnot. its hilariously brilliant. at the same time, i could feel the emotion behind Andrews broken home. its emotionally brilliant, the action sequences were pulse pounding. the first person view made it immerse you with them. Plus the last 20-30 minutes was action packed thrilling and plenty of "OH SH*T!" moments were had in the theater. loved it. i would def see it on the big screen plenty more times. 5 stars.
