I had expected a good movie from what the adds showed but this was better than I expected. This is not just a kids SIFI movie. I can't define what kind of move it is but it was outstanding. It's great for a family. I hope there is some sort of sequel. Thank God that some good movies sneak out of Hollywood ever once in a while. I am so tired of the crappy horror, special effect, no plot, action movies the they seem to keep turning out. Hollywood listen up give us more movies like this. Even though this was a fairly long movie I wish it had been longer. Oh the cast was amazing. I only knew T. Hutton and the lady form (Crossing Jordon) before this. They all did a great job and the plot was cool. Please give us some more nice movies like this. Oh I had to pay full price to see this I almost never do that.

God I wish Hollywood made more movies like this

I'm not black and don't care this was a great movie. To me it was not a movie about a black kid but a kid who just happened to be black. A kid in a bad neighborhood and school compliments of my generation. I hope that the movie can overcome being in the shadow of MI3. Because it deserves it. This movie has heart. It had great acting, a real plot and it has a point. People were cheering and laughing applauding and crying in the theater. Way to go keep it up. Give us some more please. There are some fresh new faces in this move and I hope to see more of them. If you knew me you would know I don't get excited very easily. When I see a movie like this I feel that maybe there is hope for the movie industry. GO SEE IT. You'll feel better for it. Take the kids. Call your friends.
