Portal 2 has an interactive trailer for Super 8 which is quite interesting.

JJ didn't direct Cloverfield. JJ did direct Super 8.

This looks like it will have A) a story and B) no shaky cam. That should make it a lot better right there!

Seen it yesterday...Very much a character driven movie.Speilberg and Abrams a winning combo in my book.Had an ET feel to it along with the mystery of Cloverfield..

I thought it was okay- pleasant to watch, and good acting especially from the kids, but a pretty forgettable movie. A variation on E.T., really.

you have to see it for all the references and hommage to Spielberg movie Career and style... the movie itself is enjoyable but at the end J.J is NOT Spielberg.

I was interested in it until I saw it's a film full of kids in a quaint US town and a little spaceship like in Batteries not Included...
