Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
Ploydsge just watch it!
Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
gpwiseguy8 In an era rampant with political propaganda and constricted thought, Zoom prevails, providing a much needed look into the depravity of modern society. At the center of this masterpiece is none other than Tim Allen, the undisputed god of cinema. Through clever allegory and sublime acting, Allen's performance showcases the human race with unprecedented realism. His portrayal of Jack Shepard encompasses a range of meaning wider than the Grand Canyon, granting the viewer ultimate resonance. As the film progresses, an increasing amount of thought is demanded from the viewer. Certain plot points vanish, and the film transcends the realm of entertainment and enters that of prophecy. Through delicate craftsmanship and subtle detailing, Zoom manages to deliver its messages in a manner that is both poignant and subdued, leaving the viewer to ponder their very existence. Case in point, Zoom is an artistic think piece designed to engulf the viewer until the final frame of the credits, to much avail. Qutie possibly the Mona Lisa of its medium, Zoom is an unequivocal masterpiece, and it's political and social relevance shall know no end.
tankace Zoom tried unsuccessfully to capture the magic of the X-men by becoming of rip-off of them and thank the Helmet of Magneto and Beast's hair this didn't happen and the movie failed both commercially, making only 12,5 million from a 35 million budget and critically with critics and general audience dismissing it as superhero movie and as a flick in general. In short don't bother watching it and now I will spoil you why it failed so dramatically.Firstly the person who plays the mentor is presented as a old superhero who after a tragic accident he quieted, but not for even one second while he was teaching ,I didn't see him as a professor and he was quit incompetent to find out that his main villain was his friend all along. Also why didn't he think that this doctor who say that she admire him and see him and his students at a daily based ,that she also has powers?Now to the students, kids with no interest to act and their personalities are so overused that I can't say if are good types or brads. And that is an issue because if you can not see the characters on the scene as unique people why bother to route for them? As for the "powers" ,I will only say that you have a girl with telekinesis, her boyfriend who has super strength and two other that I don't bother remembering and the effects are so lame that, those in Power Rangers look much nicer and cooler!! Finally the villain is a rip-off version of the Reverse Flash and has no further goal what so ever apart from killing the teacher who hates him just for hat sake. Yes , Thorne hate Flash ,but he did it because he was admire him and when he see him in the flesh he was disappointed. So Reverse Flash wins!Inconclusion this flick could be called "An X-men rip-off in order to capitalize from their success" and it would make no difference to me. The X-men aren't loved with armies of fans around the world due to their appearance ,but because they are a metaphor for the human rights , diversity and the nice personalities who live in their universe help the viewer to relate to them.

hatsubob I had to review this just because its been given such a low rating by most of the other users on this site.This is a decent, fun kids movie, if you have young kids I'm sure this would be great to watch with them on DVD.Tim Allen is a funny,likable guy, he plays his character like he does in all his other movies, so if your a Tim Allen fan, you shouldn't hate this movie.Chevy Chase, is pretty much what you'd expect, funny guy, OK so it's by far and away not his best movie, but he's just playing the clown in a kids movie, and he plays that part fine.The story is not disagreeable, if your a kid you'll probably like it. Another reviewer said that it would go down as one of the terrible movies of our time, like Howard the Duck, well I remember watching Howard the Duck on video when I was a kid, and I loved it! If I had watched this when I was a kid I would probably have loved this too.So credit to the writers and all involved for making a GOOD/fun kids movie. (I was going to say a GREAT/fun kids movie, then realized that this is NOT a GREAT kids movie, that would be going into the realms of the Goonies etc, but this movie is definitely worthy of pass marks)
