Super 8 was magical, and the more I read, the more I feel I'm the only one it was magical for.

I guess it is, I just wish it wasn't.

And that's just it. It IS good. It has flaws, certainly, but the construction of the film itself is perfect and simply magical. It engrossed me and I fell in love with what it did. Yet a lot of the responses are really cynical, and it feels like there's an active refusal to see the point and purpose of the film.

I don't understand how people aren't getting seduced by the cinematic magic on display here. I really, really don't. Super 8 is a beautiful, magical film, and isn't deserving of this level of cynicism.
