Aug. 7th, 2007 11:51 pmI watched Sky High again. Twice. It's a superhero-school movie. I'm not sure why I came back to it. It's a generic disney-ish movie, but feel good and pleasant -- and never painful to see, which is valuable extra -- and funny, though not ever so so.
Good things
* The special powers. They're mostly well chosen, they feel right, define the characters, and are cool without being too silly.
* Feel good. Yay, I'm happy that the good guys win.
* Warren Peace is cool. (Those of my friends who like bad boys I think will be pleased. Though none of the photos show him throwing fire. Somehow the whoosh as he throws his hands down and they ignite is just right. It does say something that the only interesting character is so gruff.)
* The scene where Leila starts to sit at Warren's table is the funniest I've seen in a little while.
Bad things
* Will's parents are superheroes, one who can fly and a master of martial arts, and one who's superstrong and invulnerable. One is always named first. Can you guess which?
