Saw "Sky High" this afternoon, and I really liked it, personally. It's reall family friendly, chockful o' messages positively reinforcing the family dynamic, and some teenage relatability. It got kind of "Power Rangers-ish" in scenes, but was overall a lot of fun. I'd probably entertain the idea of nabbing the DVD.
On some levels I agree with you, Cinemaddiction, however I totally loved this movie. I read a review somewhere that said it wasn't any good cos they couldn't even come up with original powers. I was like, come on, do you know how hard it is to come up with original powers considering comic books like the X-Men and the like have been around for ages?!
Anyways, my favourite character was Warren Peace (comes from my fetish for pyrokinesis, and, yes, I admit it, I love the bad boys that turn good in the end), and I also thought he did a good job, considering he is also a musician more than an actor. Steven Strait was the stand out performance for me, but I also enjoyed Danielle Panabaker (Layla's) performance, especially towards the end.
Anyone else like it as much as me, or am I alone, well, aside from the three people I went to see it with, anyway. A 32-, 23- (me), 16-, and 12-year old loved it! 😄
Cheers,
