I wouldn't say it was bad, but it certainly wasn't very good.

I am so tired of the standard hollywood story lines:
1. The military is always bad.
(Avatar had the same stupid premise.)
2. Kids can always out think everyone else on the entire $%#$@ planet.
(That is fine in Goonies, but in a semi-serious movie like Super 8?
Give me a break!)
3. The black person is always the good guy, (and typically a token black person).
('Unbreakable' was such a great movie because it broke the mold.
It had a bad guy who was black, who was intelligent and capable.
(And in his mind, not even evil - although he was a token black person, well except for his mom, which was a nice added touch to the movie actually.)
Give me more movies like this!!!
My two cents worth.
