Sorta Fun, but poor use of talent

I liked this film; it's fun to watch. It's not a great film, but how many are? The computer graphics are good, the story is familiar but well handled. What makes it work is Joseph Mazzello. I really haven't seen him give a weak performance in anything, and he definitely carries this film.That's also what I consider the film's greatest weakness. Joseph has to do most of his acting from the inside of a helmet using only his face and voice. He handles it well, but it's a shame we don't get to see more of what he can do.It's a good film to watch with the whole family. I gave it a 5.

Star Kid

The plot is fine. There are fun elements and the story is complete, though there are not really any big surprises. For those of you who do not know, this is a film about a weak kid who gets bullied at school and he encounters a robot suit from outer space that he can fit into and become "strong".The acting is fine. Both the young and the adult actors delivered fine performances.The special effects look quite cheap. It is probably a problem originated from the budget.It gets more and more boring towards the end, and the climax is not at all rewarding. The ending is far too cheesy.The look of the robot does not really impress me. It is sort of creepy for me. I would go with better design.Still, it is a good family film for a Sunday afternoon if all you are looking forward to is some robot fun and nothing more. I am sure this film has done enough to impress the kids.4/10 - Fine
