Movie Review: Super 8 Feels Like A Rehash

Finally I saw Super 8 today at HBO.  I did not bother to watch it during its theatrical release since it got crowded out since it was released during the busy summer movie season.  However, it's a very cute movie and I enjoyed the first half of it until it turned bizarre.  Actually, it felt like a movie about Steven Spielberg when he was still a kid.  I enjoyed the dynamics of their young group including the very cute girl.  Well, the story starts to go downhill and Spielberg-esque when the 'creatures' appear - it's like you entered into another movie that you've already seen before.  Too bad, the first part was cute and promising.
