elizabeth-12994 The movie was alright. By any means, it wasn't bad but it wasn't the best movie ever either, it was mediocre. I thought the ending was pretty disappointing and seemed rushed and there were many opportunities to extend and develop the story line or a characters personality, that were not seen and therefor those opportunities were missed. Overall, the acting was very good and the cast were brilliant. The special effects weren't great but it was made a while ago now. It is not a movie I would rush to see again but it was passable and parts did make me chuckle!

SnoopyStyle Jack Shepard (Tim Allen) is disillusioned bitter former super-speed superhero and sole survivor Captain Zoom of Team Zenith. Dr. Grant (Chevy Chase) exposed the team to Gamma-13 which turned older brother Connor/Concussion to the dark side 30 years ago destroying the team. Now General Larraby (Rip Torn) in Area 52 and Grant bring back Jack with the help of psychologist Marsha Holloway (Courteney Cox) to train a new group of kids. Dylan West (Michael Cassidy) is a teen with invisibility and clairvoyance. Summer Jones (Kate Mara) has telekinetic powers and empathic senses. Tucker Williams (Spencer Breslin) can blow up parts of his body. Little Cindy Collins (Ryan Newman) has super strength.Tim Allen is too bitter and sarcastic. Chevy Chase is silly without being funny. He's just a pathetic shadow of his former self. The adults are the problem of this movie. This needs to be about the kids. The little girl is actually quite funny. The kids need more screen time to develop. This is simply a badly thought out comic book movie.

vchimpanzee At first, this didn't seem much like a movie to be taken seriously. Of course, the "auditions" were quite funny and disgusting.Tim Allen came across as a grumpier Tim Taylor/Mike Baxter. A great line to illustrate his attitude: "Why is the green dress talking?" I liked the way he resisted trying to be helpful until he finally realized how important it was.I liked Summer and Cindy. Summer looked good and had just enough attitude. Cindy was so cute, complete with a lisp.And Marsha was adorable and gorgeous. Jack thought she looked better without glasses? I thought she looked pretty good with them. But the clumsy routine didn't work so well for me. That's just not how I think of Courteney Cox, and the day before I saw this, there was another pretty but clumsy female scientist who was even less suited to such a role.And Chevy Chase ... can anyone take him seriously? I have this memory of his being associated with quality. "Caddyshack" and "Foul Play" at the very least. What happened to him? But he's still entertaining in his own way.Rip Torn is an actor known for quality, and at least considering the material he seemed to be convincing, but I still have to wonder why this?But the movie changes about halfway through. It is a worthwhile experience, a real comedy/adventure with the emphasis on adventure, and seems like a quality production. Except now Chevy Chase becomes even more of a liability.Then the prom happens, and we're back to square one. The final scenes are pretty amazing, though, especially the visual effects.It's a kids' movie, but that doesn't excuse lack of attention to quality. And it was there, just not all the way through.But I'm about Jack's age, and I enjoyed it enough.

TheLittleSongbird I like a superhero movie as much as the next person, but not when it is this bad. Zoom for me is a contender for the worst superhero movie ever. Peter Hewitt has done some good films, The Borrowers is delightful and Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey is one of the best sequels out there, but his direction here is very inept. Hewitt's direction is not the worst asset of Zoom though. The script is dire, while the juvenile humour gets embarrassing fast, the best it gets is the gag reel at the end and even that was lame. The story is lame and predictable, the action is special-effects driven mostly and it is badly done and the pace is rushed. The acting is simply terrible, Tim Allen is a talented actor but he goes through the motions, Courtney Cox is wasted and Chevvy Chase is simply embarrassing. All in all, just dismal and a chore to sit through. 1/10 Bethany Cox
