Sorry, but I loved it.


There were a lot of possible errors, I admit it, and yes, the plot went a little fast.

But it was funny, it was cute, and I really liked it. And yes, I'm an adult who went completely by myself to see a children's movie. And you know what? I liked it. It was a good movie.

Grow up.

I think the core appeal was that it was funny... hilarously so... but it wasn't marketted as very funny, nor was it even marketted much at all... I think they dropped the ball on that page of this story...

There are complaints to be had, most notably the lack of character development for the kids. They did a montage scene and I was like... wait... these kids have only been on screen for 15 minutes each, tops! But Tim Allen, and the older kid hero had some great lines and moments. "And you... Invisiteen." "Whoa!" Great fun.

I also thought it did a very clever job of homaging comics. The main plot seemed a lot like the Ultimates, the kids had the Fantastic Four's powers, but remixed in a way that you hardly noticed, and they did a healthy amount of name dropping. Not too much, but enough to be real good fun.

I hated the helmet too, but thankfully, he was only in it for about fifteen seconds of screen time.

I loved this movie. I never ever go to see these types of movies, but i decided, What the hell! Come to find out, I really enjoyed it. It made me laugh, and overall, I think it was a cute movie. I have always loved superheros, and this movie made me appriciate them even more. (lol juat kidding) No, but seriously i liked this movie alot, surprisingly.

I thought Tim Allen was really cool in it. I loved his sarcastic humour and the fact that he didn't act over the top. I thought he came across great as the cinical ex-superhero.

All in all, I really liked the film. The only thing I wasn't keen on was the two younger kids. Predictable, but entertaining.

I liked the movie also.
There wasn't as much action as I would have thought. And Sky High was just slightly better, but I enjoyed Zoom.

It wasn't a good movie, but I enjoyed it, and will watch it again on DVD when available.

I hope no one considers this film to be a FF rip-off, like they did with The Incredibles....

Ben Grimm forever!

It seemed to be over really quick. Yes, they should have gone into Zoom's past a bit more.

i really loved the movie too, it was a real good grade c movie. summer (and actress kate mara) was the best i loved, and i liked dylan (and actor cassidy) second. i also liked zoom and marsha third. tucker and cindy were ok. dylan and summer were a great couple i loved, as zoom and marsha comes second. the story was also good about team work, friendship, and family. yeah, i admit that the movie was weak in some ways, that i give it a c, but i still loved it, it was enjoyable. i'm just glad that i'm not the only one who loved it.

I went in to this thinking it was going to be rubbish, as I am not a big Peter Hewitt fan, but I have to say it was funny and very entertaining (you certainly know what you're going to get with a Tim Allen film).

As for the previous comments stating "you would have to be gay, to like this film"......

Isn't it about time that 6 year olds were banned from posting on these boards!!!

I thought this movie was quite funny and entertaining. The ending was a little disappointing... but no one's perfect.

Just saw it, put it off because I really didn't like "Shaggy Dog" and was afraid of the bad buzz. But, turns out- it was just bad buzz. I personally really liked the film. Reminded me more of an origin story though, so I hope there's a Zoom 2. Can't wait until SC3.
