Sky High

[Trakx]

Did anyone check out that movie, Sky High? I thought it might be kind of lame, so I passed on it in theaters. Then I seen it in the movie store yesterday and gave it a shot. I thought it was a GREAT movie and pretty original!

I mean, yeah, Xavier has his super school, but not like this!

Just like any High School, the students are broken into categories - like the jocks, the geeks, the cheerleaders, etc. - but this school is broken into two types: heroes (people who have really useful powers, like super strength or flight) and sidekicks (those who have powers like turning into a immobile puddle of goo, or can glow).

I don't want to ruin the movie by giving away the plot, as it has a great twist at the end, but I just really recommend it for anyone into superheroes. Overall, I give the movie an 8.5 out of 10.

For anyone else who has seen it, what did you think?

I never got around to getting it while I worked at Blockbuster, but I should have, because I bet my kid would like it, if nothing else.

I did see Tim Allen's Zoom, which wasn't too shabby.

[Trakx]

Well, believe me, it's better than you think.

I haven't seen Zoom. I actually forgot about that movie altogether.

[Tommy Brownell]

You check out Zoom and I'll check out Sky High. Deal? =)

[Trakx]

Deal. Although, your review of Zoom was "not too shabby" whereas mine is "Great! Better than you'd think".

[Tommy Brownell]

Well, its a Tim Allen movie. I can only go as high as "not too shabby".

For a Tim Allen movie, it IS "Great! Better than you'd think".

I actually liked Sky High and Zoom both are highly entertaining flicks especially if your looking for something with some campy superhero stuff.
I also picked up the old School cartoon series Hero High on DVD. Watched it as a kid and it is still as I remember it.
