Zoom Audience Reviews

GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Protraph Lack of good storyline.
Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.
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.
Soul4673 I watched this film first when I was about 9....so of course I found it awesome. I've loved this film since I was 9. It's cheesy, cute, funny, charming and consists of a cast which work so flawlessly together. This film truthfully and cheesily is kind of exactly what I want out of life...to have a group of friends that'll help you through anything and to be treasured for being different and to be able to use my differences to help people and save the world. This film is so cute seriously- "faster than fast. Truer than true. In the pursuit of justice there is no speed limit." As a typical teenage girl....my favourite character would be Dylan and not just because he's cute but because his powers are so awesome as well as his attitude. His "I don't care" attitude which eventually grows into this cute team leader attitude where he'd do anything for zoom or summer or cindy or tucker.....it's just adorable. Truthfully I'm being quite general in this review as this film was a slight part of my childhood and I remember going to school and pretending to get a headache above my eyebrow and looking down hallways which were miles away from me....yeah I'm a dork. Truthfully I kind of refuse to point out the flaws in this film. (there is flaws....I'm not denying that) OK quick plot description- this film is based around 4 kids with extraordinary abilities- a 6 year old girl named Cindy who is insanely strong, a 12 year old guy named Tucker who has the strangest ability ever....he can exaggerate his body parts and make them grow huge at will, a 16 year old girl named Summer who is telekinetic and a 17 year old guy named Dylan with the ability to turn invisible and to see places and people in his mind without being there with them or being in that area and these four kids are lead by former superhero- "Zoom" or Jack as he now prefers to be called who is played by Tim Allen and at first he seems all washed up and useless but gradually turns out to be a father figure to these kids. OK they become a superhero team who fight against a villain named Concussion...I'm going to leave it at that because the endings the best bit and I don't want to give away the twists too.OK here's the gist- this film is awesome! It's probably the perfect kid's superhero movie and I still love it as much as I did about 7 years ago. To me though...this film represents the idea that differences are what make us amazing. This is a feel-good movie based around real themes, great music, a great cast, stunning visual effects and a group chemistry which is undeniable. Watch it.
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.
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
