Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Python Hyena Zoom (2006): Dir: Peter Hewitt / Cast: Tim Allen, Courteney Cox, Spencer Breslin, Chevy Chase, Kate Mara: About as exciting as slamming your hand in a car door. In a film that manages to be even worse than Sky High, Tim Allen plays retired superhero Captain Zoom who must whip into shape a bunch of misfit kids with super powers to fight his arch enemy brother. I've had diarrhea spells that were more fetching than the special effects created here. Directed by Peter Hewitt who also made the mediocre Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey, which at least had the decency to have good special effects. This film looks like a really bad chemistry experiment. Tim Allen survives the nightmare only due to background superpower incident and the task before him. Otherwise the screenplay would make better toilet paper. Courteney Cox plays a lab coat female obsessed with comic books. She should be obsessed with finding a better agent. Chevy Chase reminds us that he was funny in the 1980's but here as the bumbling scientist clearly the joke is on him. Spencer Breslin has been featured in several films with Allen including The Santa Clause 2 and The Shaggy Dog. Here he plays a kid who can oversize his body parts. Kate Mara plays a girl with telekinesis that is not half as interesting as Carrie White. That sounds wrong on so many levels. Frankly someone should zoom over this film with a tractor trailer. Score: ½ / 10
Pachilles Concept has lots of promise, but the story is horrendous.A fun movie... for kids.Adults can't help but feel the pain of Tim Allen in the lead as "Zoom" the Flash wannabe. His acting was OK, it's the concept of his out-of-shape loser style for the story.Pain also comes with a character that instantly balloons a body part. That's a super power?All the other characters were good, well except for Chevy Chase's part. Just lame.With all the superhero movies doing so well now, this could be reboot-worthy. Grab a decent writer and a decent cast, and it would make for a fun family popcorn movie.
Kristian Leal Long time ago, I was going to want to watch this movie and like it, and I did think I would like it in the past and be more interesting to watch to check out the superheroes fighting crime and such, but now I just watched it today and I was really disappointed. :-(I'll tell you this, I really enjoyed this movie but I started to have problems with this movie until the end. So here is my problems, 1. When I watched it through, it didn't have a proper villain in the movie that the heroes were suppose to be fighting against which means there was no main villain in the movie. 2. It didn't have much action in the movie, which means the movie didn't have a lot of action through out the movie, it was just very slow paced and a waste.3. This movie was short.4. There is a little girl who's named Cindy, when you see her being in her uniforms that she needed to be wearing, she dresses up weird and very lame, all she does is wear mostly costumes in some other parts to get prepared to do stuff to be a superhero, meaning that she goes crazy with wearing costumes while being around in the facility and it didn't make any sense why she's wearing them and it was just stupid.5. Chevy Chase's acting was just not that good.6. It didn't tell and show any stuff about some kind of team that Jack's brother named "Connor" has been, which means it didn't show flash backs about what Jack's brother Connor has been doing in the part of a team that he is a member of in the past.These are my reasons with this movie, and I was not too impressed with this movie. I still really enjoyed this movie, cause to showed about kids that had strange and secret powers that were developed secretly that made them become superheroes, but this movie was just a complete mess.
bluesman-20 Zoom is a good clean family movie. It's meant to be fun and the storyline is meant to lighthearted. Premise is easy and simple. Captain Zoom has long since lost his powers and retired. After a battle that killed his team and his brother Concussion. Zoom has disappeared and in his place is JAck Shepard a bitter cynical man. Shepard doesn't believe in heroics anymore. So when the government tracks him down 30 years later with the job offer of training a new generation of heroes. He's offered a lot of money and he's told he is the best qualified because he is the last superhero alive. The Group consists of your usual clichéd kids the jock the wanna be cheerleader the fat kid and the little girl. All have amazing powers and the government under the Zenith project wants them to be trained to face a enemy,that's coming. The Enemy is Concussion Captain Zoom's long thought dead brother. The Story falters here and there and the ending is not as fantastic as it should be. But it's a kids movie. And that's good enough. Keep in mind the audience this was made for and you'll enjoy it. It's not Nolan's Batman films. It's more innocent. And A lot of fun.
