It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

It was hard not to notice that only the non-white kids were given the lamest powers and were, of course, rejected from being a part of the team. Not sure what they (writers/producers/directors) were thinking when they did that other than to purposely alienate a huge chunk of their audience from the very start. Maybe they didn't think anyone would notice. Or even if they did, maybe they thought viewers would just shrug this insult off and say "Its just a kid's movie". But the fact that it is a kid's movie is all the more reason for it to be panned. Perhaps they thought a kid's movie would be the perfect vehicle to strike some kind of blow against diversity or something? Whatever the case, the extremely low rating for this picture isn't a surprise to me at all. Even worse than that subtle bit or racism marring it, the film was derivative of Disney's Sky High, dragged a bit in too many places and was dragged COMPLETELY DOWN by that horrific performance by Chevy Chase.

This is a movie that deserves more love. If anything, the acting was wonderful and I even enjoyed the plot. The movie had wonderfully done scenes in the movie and it even had a heartwarming ending. I'm pretty upset to see a lot of hate go into this movie. Zoom to watch it on TV when it comes and you'll learn how great of a movie it is. Trust me, this is a type of movie that you would want to see with your friends and family and don't forget to tell them some of your favorite parts of the movie. This was a movie that I had really enjoyed watching and if I happen to stumble upon something new with this movie whether it would be a great deal of merchandise, a reboot, or even better, a sequel, I cannot wait just to get or watch it. Definitely a great movie to watch whether you are bored and if you really want to watch a superhero or an action packed movie that will make you happy.

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

Any film that starts with an elongated voice over giving the viewer the back-story has to be viewed with suspicion from the outset...or at least that is my experience. So the rot sets in early.So what do we get? A brainless load of rubbish. Cartoon characters in the truest sense of the word. Lack lustre juvenile love story sub-plot (yawn!). 6 year old effectively abandoned by her parents (charming!). Creepy bedroom scene -- 6 year old with non-relative in his 50s.Oh, and then, brother who killed Zoom's lover and best buds is forgiven in a trice. What shite!Hmnnn... Well, side stepping Tim Allen's dyed goatee (what price growing old gracefully), how Courtney Cox could have been so hard up as to appear in this pile is the true mystery of this non-com.Utter rubbish. A waste of 90mins of my life. 90mins too long.
