Yeah I saw Super 8 in theaters and couldn't have been more annoyed. I was rolling my eyes as soon as the train started exploding. And kept exploding. And then exploded some more.
By the time the necklace ending scene rolled around, I had eye-rolling strain.
Glad to see Captain America win this, because Thor also annoyed me a bit, although I think it was better than Super 8. That said, I did like some of the style, and the kids' storyline in Super 8, just they couldn't make up for all the stuff I hated.
