Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

stormhawk2018 Former superhero Jack Shepard (also known as Captain Zoom), is called back to work to transform an unlikely group of ragtag kids into a new generation of superheroes at a privacy Academy and save the world from certain destruction. The project holds an audition of would-be members, most of whom possess useless or disgusting powers. In the end, Dylan West, a 17-year-old boy who can turn invisible; Summer Jones, a 16-year-old girl with telekinetic powers; Tucker Williams, a 12-year-old boy with the power to enlarge any part of his body; and Cindy Collins, a 6-year-old girl with super strength. "Zoom" is a kids' superhero flick based on the novel "Zoom's Academy" written by Jason Lethcoe. In it, Tim Allen stars as a has-been superhero who's tasked to train four young superheroes to battle a nemesis, nothing less than his brother Connor Shepard (also known as Concussion). With that, you pretty much know what to expect. Unfortunately, that's all. While the film has all what comprises a prototype of this milked-dry genre, the experience is overtly familiar and dull. Jack (Allen...nope, not Matthew Fox) was Captain Zoom, a superhero who can travel at superhuman speeds, and one of the members of the military-sponsored superhero group "Team Zenith." But he has since lost his powers after a military experiment has gone awry that also has his teammates killed. 30 years later Jack is brought back to train four youngsters with superpowers when a new malevolent threat from the past emerges. First of all, the script of Adam Rifkin and David Berenbaum doesn't attain new heights with their blunt dealing of a theme that's been done more excellently with "The Incredibles" and "Sky High." And director Peter Hewitt ("Garfield"), who clearly isn't exactly a master storyteller himself, has little to work from with such a dull and hollow material. All of the characters are perfunctory parts rather than humans portraying genuine conflicts. Also, for a film that's called "Zoom," the film drags: it lacks a sufficient amount of action. We're supposed to see the kids train, but all we're mostly shown are unfunny attempts at slapstick humor that the filmmakers assume would elicit laughters from the little tots among the audience (uhm, Courteney Cox tripping down and Chevy Chase getting slime on his face, anyone?). What constitutes for training involve at the most paint balls and a drive-thru chaos at a Wendy's restaurant. Yes, there's the climactic fight sequence at the end but it's too quick, unexciting, and not enough by a mile for a film that has terribly dragged along. Ultimately, what transpires is a terribly unfunny movie that wears out its welcome faster than its main character runs.Please do not listen to the positive reviews on here. This movie is not an "excellent movie for kids", or an "Under-rated excellent movie". It's a piece of garbage from start to finish, and probably would only appeal to you if you've had a lobotomy. Do not take your kids to see this movie, unless you're using it as some sick, twisted form of punishment. Movies like this are used as a form of torture in Guantanamo Bay. No redeeming qualities whatsoever.

Python Hyena 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

Chrysanthepop 'Zoom' starts off on a promising note. I had the impression that it would be a comic-book spoof comedy but it pretty much turns out to be just another generic kid's sci-fi flick. It's not as terrible as many have made it out to be. For a children's movie, it's quite okay. The biggest flaw lies in the writing. The contrived script is repetitive and filled with plot holes. The characters lack development. Given the concept, this could have been something highly entertaining for adults and children. The special effects are quite poor. The pacing is also poorly maintained. Much of the humour is very effective thanks to Tim Allen, Courteney Cox and Chevy Chase. Allen is brilliant as the washed-up aged superhero who's forced to train four kids to use their power appropriately. Cox is a natural performer when it comes to comedy and she is fantastic as the ditzy, nerdy, enthusiastic do-gooder psychologist. Chevy Chase is hilarious, especially in the scenes where he's bullied by the kids. The rest of the cast is passable. Overall, it is these three actors who kept me laughing throughout this very mediocre-at-best flick.

dunmore_ego This movie made me weep with emotion. I had no idea a movie could be THIS FREAKIN' BAD.Oh, of course - Chevy Chase is in it. 'Nuff said.Tim Allen is retired superhero Zoom (think: The Flash as a doughy guy), called back into service by the secret government agency (aren't they all?) that created him - not for his super services but as a consultant, to train a new generation of kid heroes.Courteney Cox is the bespectacled hot chick scientist who is supposedly dorky and not hot because of the spectacles. Chevy Chase is head of the secret government superhero project and doing as inept a job as we would expect him to be doing. That's not a gag when we're referring to his non-existent comedic timing as well.There is a scene where Zoom tells a kid how he has long stopped using his super speed, by vibrating his finger like a, well, a vibrator, and saying, "There was a time when I could make my whole body do that!" Courteney Cox just gushed in her lab coat.Zoom's brother, a guy who was originally a part of the super team and went rogue, is on his way back from some other dimension to, we surmise, do Bad Things. And Zoom's new uncooperative team of spoiled brats must be whipped into shape in time to stop him. Zoom rediscovers his superspeed in the process and there is much Disney rejoicing that makes us embarrassed to be alive.Appeals to the teen-and-below market who don't realize this story of self-realization has been told a million times, a billion times better.Cry Chevy and let slip the dogs of bore.--Review by Poffy The Cucumber (for Poffy's Movie Mania).
