Sky High - Future Superheroes Face High School

by dragonfire88 dragonfire88 is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Aug 01 '05
Pros: Fun, entertaining movie with good cast.
Cons: Some characters not used much. Not much character development
Superhero movies have become very popular in the last few years. I have enjoyed most of those movies that I’ve seen. Most of the movies have been about characters that were first introduced and established in comic books. The new movie Sky ...

Sky High is a different kind of high school movie

by phungus phungus is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Dec 03 '05
Pros: Great story, original concept, Bruce Campbell!
Cons: Might be a little too hunky dory for some.
Most superhero movies involve a villain and a love interest. In the end, the villain is dead or defeated and the hero falls in love. But what happens after that? What if they have kids? This movie is set in a world like The Incredibles, where ...

The Skylab of Comedy

by bilavideo bilavideo is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jan 15 '06
Pros: it dies
Cons: Disney's plastic little world, with mediocre jokes, hamhanded acting and lame, lame writing.
Whether you like Sky High will depend on how much of the Disney Channel you get and how much more you can take. If your answer was "not enough" and "The sky is the limit," you're in luck. If it's just the opposite, boy are you about to be screwed! ...

Doesn't Take You to Great Heights, but the Ride is Fun

by Bryan_Carey, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 10, Feb 10 '06
Pros: Different type of high school movie; Special effects; Social situations
Cons: Some flat characters; Predictable finish
Disney studios can always be counted on for a few fuzzy, feel- good, family flicks each year. Their movies are often meant to entertain as well as inspire and many of them succeed in that respect. One example of this is Sky High, a movie about a ...

Sky High: Formulaic Super Crud

by pippadaisy Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Aug 04 '05
Pros: it won't show up on Disney Channel for at least a few months
Cons: everything. Script, acting, Botox.
Just for the record, I wanted to go see Charlie and the Chocolate Factor. My nephews, on the other hand, wanted to see Sky High, the newest Disney flick to hit the summer movie scene, so my mother and I set out with five kids ages 6 ...

Sky High - Too Good to be a Disney Movie

by Jellyn , Aug 07 '05
Pros: Bruce Campbell, Kids in the Hall, writing, costumes, good story
Cons: Disney
This first looked to me like a typical kid's superhero movie, and from Disney no less. I expected it to be juvenile with only enough redeeming qualities to make it worth watching on television. I changed my mind when I started seeing previews and ...

Sky High Soars

by quasar Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Jul 31 '05
Pros: writing, visuals, humor, casting, acting, perfect meld of high school and superhero genres
Cons: almost none - maybe a bit too stereotypical for some, but that's necessary for parody
The weight of expectations can be very heavy, especially when your parents are the greatest superheroes on the planet. Life isn't easy for Will Stronghold (Michael Angarano), especially now that he's attending Sky High. Ordinary in a world of the ...

Sky High: Keep Your Expectations Grounded, and You'll Enjoy it.

by Alkaiser Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jul 29 '05
Pros: Awesome soundtrack and casting. Some surprisingly good writing in flashes.
Cons: The mains are basically on auto-pilot. Some cheap humor.
Here I am...28 year old man...about to highly recommend a kids' movie. What you're probably wondering is why I, your typical guy would pass up two big budget special effects intensive action movies in The Island (with Scarlett Johansson) and Stealth ...

Entertaining live action film that is almost like a cartoon

Up, up, and away!!

by SKAD13 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jul 25 '05
Pros: Pitch-perfect script and cast
Cons: Not many other movies this year will be this imaginative
Was there any reason to imagine that the director of Surviving Christmas and Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo could ever make an intelligent family film? In that case, allow director Mike Mitchell to sideswipe you with Sky High, a Disney ...

A "Cute" Super Student Film

by xenoranger , Jan 07 '08
Pros: Wide Array of Powers
"Fun" to watch

Cons: Underused Big Names
Typical "Disney" Story
Relies too much on special effects
Disney is famous for those films that seem like after school specials. Sadly, Sky High follows suit with these, but somehow manages to remain little better. The story sounds like life. A young Will Stronghold (Michael Angarano) is going to high school ...

A "super" cute movie

by the_mow , Dec 11 '06
Pros: Cast, script, campy superhero wardrobe (except one), some special effects
Cons: Some characters underused and not well developed.
"Will Stronghold" (Michael Angarano) is your typical teenager with the same problems all teens entering high school have -- except one. His parents are the greatest superheroes on the planet, "The Commander" (Kurt Russel) and "Jetstream" (Kelly Preston). ...
