the defenders of garbage strike again!

First, they pull out the standard, some variation of "ppl who don't like this movie suck".

Then, when confronted with the blatant racism (ALL the kids who were rejected as potential superheroes were Black or Asian, and ALL who were accepted were white), they start spewing "get over it"s or say "I didn't even notice it! I don't even see race!", or "My best friend is Black and he loved the movie".

Fact is, Zoom is a crap movie. If you want a decent movie about junior superheroes, the Sky High, the movie that this piece of garbage ripped off.

Ive said it once before Zoom didnt Rip off of Sky High, Infact Sky high Riped off of the Book "Zooms Acadamy for the Super Gifted". If you read the book you'll understand what I mean, (Ex: Every one thinks the main charictor dosnent have a power, The School is in the Clouds) the main difrence is that the Movie dosent Say its based on the book. Yet Zooms says it is witch in my eyes is why it Fails (Zoom isnt Even HUMAN in the book and the Milatary isnt even involved!).

who authored it? is it for sale on amazon? I'd like to check it out. If it's so IDENTICAL to Sky High, why so lawsuit?

But, if there's such a book I stand corrected. However, Zoom (the movie) is still racist and still a piece of toilet waste. And, I'm a Chevy Chase fan so that made it that much more unbearable to watch!

The book is Written and Illustrated by Jason Lethcoe and i think the reason there hasnt been a lawsuit is i think becuse he dosent want to waste his time

Hears the book on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Zooms-Academy-Jason-Lethcoe/dp/0345496418/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2/103-4054834-9895822?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1175801915&sr=1-2

To Clouse368: As I said to kylebarkerlgi, you have the right to express your opinion. But learn the language! Your spelling and word usage are atrocious!

To kylebarkerlgi: I think it is a movie worth watching and that is my right. You think it isn't and that is your right. We both have the right to express our opinions. But I absolutely DISAGREE that you have the right to PIGEONHOLE me because I disagree with you. I simply liked it. End of story.
