Sky High

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 ...

Pros: great family film, very funny it parts, lots of innovative ideas in the story
Cons: a little too predictable

Sky High is a Disney film about a world where superheroes are part of the every day life. Central to the story is one family, comprised of both a female superhero and a male superhero, better known as mom and dad to Will Stronghold. By day they ...

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 ...

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! ...

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 ...

Pros: Great acting
Cons: Story is predictable

Will Stronghold (Michael Angarano) is about to start his first day of high school. He's attending his parent's alma mater, and the pressure to live up to their legacy is huge. See, his parents (Kurt Russell and Kelly Preston) happen to be the biggest ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Pros: Good visuals, doesn't take itself seriously
Cons: plot is definitely predictable but who cares when you're having fun?

This movie takes place in a world where superheroes are part of the ordinary life. Jeremy, the teenage son of Commander Stronghold (Kurt Russell) and Jetstream (Kelly Preston), attends a high school for superteens. What makes his high school years ...

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 ...

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 ...

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). ...

Pros: Holds the interest of a two year , six year old, and me
Cons: It was enjoyable but no academy award here.

As the story begins, we meet the Strongholds, Kirt Russell and Kelly Preston (The Commander and Jetstream) anxiously watching their son Will (Michael Angarano) prepare for the first day of school at Sky High. Before Will goes to school, the his mom and ...
