zaeraali 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.
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
bluesman-20 Zoom is a good clean family movie. It's meant to be fun and the storyline is meant to lighthearted. Premise is easy and simple. Captain Zoom has long since lost his powers and retired. After a battle that killed his team and his brother Concussion. Zoom has disappeared and in his place is JAck Shepard a bitter cynical man. Shepard doesn't believe in heroics anymore. So when the government tracks him down 30 years later with the job offer of training a new generation of heroes. He's offered a lot of money and he's told he is the best qualified because he is the last superhero alive. The Group consists of your usual clichéd kids the jock the wanna be cheerleader the fat kid and the little girl. All have amazing powers and the government under the Zenith project wants them to be trained to face a enemy,that's coming. The Enemy is Concussion Captain Zoom's long thought dead brother. The Story falters here and there and the ending is not as fantastic as it should be. But it's a kids movie. And that's good enough. Keep in mind the audience this was made for and you'll enjoy it. It's not Nolan's Batman films. It's more innocent. And A lot of fun.
\xXx/Sam\xXx/ Thackdoggz Zoom, a movie about four kids who have special powers and like every other movie similar to it, set out to save the planet from some kind of evil.As unoriginal as this formula may be (due to this type of movie being done so many times before, spy kids for example), it is still quite an enjoyable movie. Bit of comedy, bit of action, an all around fun movie. Now for the reviewers who rated it so low, no offence but really? 1 out of 10? 2 out of 10? I don't know for sure but I strongly believe that this movie was not trying to become the next Shawshank Redemption. Come on guys it's a movie for kids, children who believe they are an aeroplane 24/7 and play with toys. Slapstick humor, action sequences, a feel good movie..thats what kids love! And I believe Zoom delivered in that aspect.Thus I'd rate it a 7 out of 10 because of how well it succeeded in what it was trying to achieve, to make a movie for kids. If your a parent and have some little critters of your own, go rent it or buy it, they will love it!
