Fuck, I love this movie. Super-under appreciated (pun intended).

The movie just has an awesome premise, coupled with an outstanding execution.

Synopsis: A boy with no super powers has two of the most powerful superheroes in the world as parents. He's about to start super hero school, but doesn't have his powers yet and is relegated to sidekick position before developing his powers against a future comrade.

He has to learn what it's like to be a true hero, as well as staying true to his real friends.

It's a bit cliche, but the cast is great (except for the main character i feel), the dialogue is superb, and the super heroics, are, well superheroic.

Plus I just love the name Warren Peace.

Oh, and...

I'm never getting a sequel, am I?

This thread is now about Sky High

Edit: Also I approve of the current thread title.

BladeoftheImmortal · Sep 29, 2011

Is that a Rocketeer Anime?

Maleficence · Sep 29, 2011

I vaguely remembering kinda enjoying the movie I guess.

The main guy in it was pretty rubbish though.

Htown · Sep 29, 2011

yeah, movie was surprisingly un-terrible.

PhoncipleBone · Sep 29, 2011

Sky High had Mary Elizabeth Winstead. So it had hotness.

It had badassness in Kurt Russell and Bruce Campbell.

The movie was fun and always enjoyable, but it is not a great film. It is one I wouldnt seek out to watch, but if it is on TV I watch it and have a good time.

Also gotta love the shameless promotion for XBOX in it.

You haven't heard of Tiger and Bunny? It just finished this season. It's a great anime about super heroes. Everyone should watch it.

You forgot the most important thing about the movie

ReturnOfTheRAT · Sep 29, 2011

I liked it. They were all signed for a sequel, but the first one didn't make enough money.

Drazgul · Sep 29, 2011

And here I was thinking this'd be about a super hero who gains super powers from smoking pot. But Bruce Campbell and Kurt Russell? Yeah I'm up for that.

I have not, but now I'm gonna check it out.

Dude, Sky high ROCKS. that final fight in the gym was awesome. I had this movie on DVD, and only got rid of it to upgrade to blu ray.

I met Kevin Heffernan (the bus driver) and admitted to him that I secretly love Sky High. He and the rest of Broken Lizard went on to tell me that it's a great movie and I shouldn't hide it

BladeoftheImmortal · Sep 29, 2011

Say it loud and proud, brother.

This thread needs to be about the superior Sky High:

There was supposed to be a TV series on Disney but never happened.

Liked this movie quite a bit.

Lactose_Intolerant · Sep 29, 2011

It also had 2 kids in the hall, which were pretty funny in the movie.

Speedymanic · Sep 29, 2011

yeah, it was decent. It was pretty hot ladies in it too.

The luscious looking MEW and then there's this stunning goddess...

ezekial45 · Sep 29, 2011

I really enjoyed the movie. It was a lot of fun.

It's shame they never got the chance to turn it into a TV show, like they planned. It could've been an interesting watch.

Considering how the anime turned out I wish it had been Sky High: The Show instead. Still would've been Sunrise'd though, I guess.

UpperCaseN · Sep 29, 2011

I can't remember names, but the part where the the cloning/multiple man cheerleader slaps the plant girl never really sat well with me. It's just a very odd moment

Jason's Ultimatum · Sep 29, 2011

The movie reminded me that I was back in the awesome 90s kids movies or something. I still watch it whenever it's on TV.

Escape Goat · Sep 29, 2011

Its Spy Kids, Agent Cody Banks and Superfriends rolled into one.

FairyD · Sep 29, 2011

I thought this was going to be about super heroin.

<3

I watched the movie just for her.

WillyFive · Sep 29, 2011

Sky High was awesome.

It felt like it belonged as a Disney Channel movie as it was supposed to be, but it was an awesome movie.

Great score too.

the_log_ride · Sep 29, 2011

Showin' some love for Sky High as well.

Bummed there's no sequel in the works... :\

Tizoc · Sep 29, 2011

I confess I never bothered to watch the movie until I read about it on TVTropes.
Will watch it soon though.

Because hes a super hero sponsored by Ustream. And Ustream is more popular in Japan.

white dynamite · Sep 29, 2011

Is that the one with the baby ray gun?

Superheroes are like sport athletes and their costumes are like NASCAR cars.

Japan has awful taste confirmed

I like the idea of superheroes being sponsored though. Neat concept.
