Come on, remember?
I told you it should come as no surprise that there would be superhero movies on my list.
This one, however, could be considered a surprise, especially when you see the movies that don't make the final cut.
But, back to Sky High...
This movie was a lot of fun. Where do superheroes go to school to learn how to be superheroes? There's the premise right there.
The movie follows Will Stronghold, the son of Commander Stronghold and Jetstream (Kurt Russell and Kelly Preston) two of the best superheroes, ever. Unfortunately, Will seems to be be unlucky enough to have ZERO superpowers to his name.
So where do the non, or lamely powered heroes go? The school naturally is segregated into the heroes, and hero support, ie: Sidekicks.
So when Will finds himself on the outside looking in, all of his friends are sidekicks, and here he is, the best of the best because of his lineage about to disappoint his father...
And then trouble rolls in as Will gets his very own archenemy!
Yeah, you thought your first day of school was bad?!
It's a very cool coming of age story, set to the backdrop of superpowers. I think it's one of the more underrated superhero movies ever made, but in this house, it rates much higher than most.
Congratulations Sky High, glad to have you onboard!
