i have a weakness for superhero movies. my proudest possession is the new x-men poster on my wall -- framed no less. so when a movie about a high school for superheroes-in-training arrived, i had to see it. and for me, it was a glorious experience. great casting, great use of superhero powers, fun riffing on the "superhero vs sidekick" dynamic, spectacular as far as the child in me was concerned. however, if you're not into superheroes and/or under the age of fifteen, i'd maybe pass on sky high. your loss though.
