Sky High
The idea of a high school for superher oes will appeal to teens and
preteens, who struggle powerlessly with petty authoritarians, bullying
peers, and their own rampant hormones, and Sky High spotlights young
Will Stronghold (Michael Angarano, Lords of Dogtown), the son of top-of-
the-heap superheroic couple the Commander (Kurt Russell, Tango &
Cash) and Josie Jetstream (Kelly Preston, View from the Top).
Unfortunately, though hes about to be dropped into the midst of kids who
can stretch, turn to living stone, or shoot fire, Will has yet to devel op any
powers at all--and may never develop them. His development anxieties
(and some entertaining metaphors for high school social hierarchies)
contrast with a bubbling plot by an old foe of the Commanders to destroy
Sky High and all of superhero-dom. Sky High has a great supporting cast
(including Bruce Campbell, Army of Darkness; Dave Foley, NewsRadio;
Lynda Carter, Wonder Woman; and Cloris Leachman, Young
Frankenstein) and a handful of funny, offhand bits, but the bulk of the
movie is bland and obvious. Younger kids may not mind the clumsy action
scenes, generic dialogue, and tacky production design, but even comic -
book-loving teenagers will label Sky High bargain-basement. --Bret Fetzer
This movie is great for the whole family. Its better than Spiderman,
Superman, and Batman. Albeit the main characters and super heroes are
not as cute as the people that have played the lead in Batman (according
to the general public, not me). It has action, comedy, romance, wh at more
can you ask for?
