So much average

It is a performances centric movie

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

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.

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.

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)

I'll admit, the acting could have been better. The movie could have been longer. The ending was a bit too fast. After 'Zoom' made the vortex and the main enemy turns 'normal', it's instant happy ever after. It would have been funny if Zoom tripped (like he did when he first started running) and ended up messing up the vortex, and then caused instant danger again. Perhaps his 'brother' could then have an ultimate fight. Then the filmmakers would have to choose who saves the day out of everyone, which could be tough. But it would have been funnier if the 'final plan' were to fail.I twas very funny throughout, though. Maybe because I'm a teenager and I find teenage humor, well funny! I'll admit the transition between the main character being against teaching the children and going forward with it was a bit dry and too fast. He should have had a more emotional and slower time changing, to show his hesitation.They did do somewhat well with the stereotypes. A typical lazy 17 year old guy, a very attractive young lady, an overweight kid, and a small girl. I think they could have done better. The lazy 17 year old guy was okay, but a more common stereotype is a geek. A 13 year old guy who is obsessed with video games and/or computers. The girl was a bit too 'normal', based on what the movie was explaining. She was being picked on, but that's normal. She wasn't mental, she wasn't a nerd and she wasn't blond.The fat kid was okay, since we all know that young boys are fat, or at least that's what the movie wants us to think. The girl was just a normal small girl who had an ordinary life. Unless this whole time their 'problems' were their powers, then I suppose it's okay.Overall, the movie was great. I just think they took the story too fast.
