Amazon.com: The idea of a high school for superheroes will appeal to teens and preteens, who struggle powerlessly with petty authoritarians, bullying peers, and their own rampant hormones, and Sky High spotlights young Will Stronghold (Michael Angarano, Lords of Dogtown), the son of top-of-the-heap superheroic couple the Commander (Kurt Russell, Tango & Cash) and Josie Jetstream (Kelly Preston, View from the Top). Unfortunately, though he's about to be dropped into the midst of kids who can stretch, turn to living stone, or shoot fire, Will has yet to develop any powers at all--and may never develop them. His development anxieties (and some entertaining metaphors for high school social hierarchies) contrast with a bubbling plot by an old foe of the Commander's to destroy Sky High and all of superhero-dom. Sky High has a great supporting cast (including Bruce Campbell, Army of Darkness; Dave Foley, NewsRadio; Lynda Carter, Wonder Woman; and Cloris Leachman, Young Frankenstein) and a handful of funny, offhand bits, but the bulk of the movie is bland and obvious. Younger kids may not mind the clumsy action scenes, generic dialogue, and tacky production design, but even comic-book-loving teenagers will label Sky High bargain-basement. --Bret Fetzer Average Rating:

It's not the greatest movie ever, but it is not without its merits and is entertaining. The idea of a high-school for superheroes is a cool one. The superhero-sidekick dichotomy is also interesting, and makes for some interesting conflicts. This movie is more like a comic-book, instead of the more serious and realistic note that the X-Men movies ... Read More Rating: - Clean super hero movieOur little guy loves this movie.

Previous reviewers have described the movie, so I want get into that. What I like the most about the movie besides its obvious spoofing of other superhero movies is the music. Not only did they have great 80's music in this movie, but they used it in such a way that it actually helped tell the story. My favorite scene in the movie is the "party" scene at Will's house when Gwen tells Layla that Will doesn't need to be friends with her anymore. Playing "Voices ... Read More Rating: - Super Cute!SKY HIGH is a Disney movie about a high school, SKY HIGH, for the children of superheroes. Here, they study to be either a) superheroes or b) sidekicks (aka Hero Support). As with any high school, there are social cliques, raging hormones, and impossible homework, but SKY HIGH takes it all to a whole new level. It is the first day of high school at SKY HIGH for freshman Will Stronghold, son of superhero power couple The Commander and Jetstream. Unfortunately for Will, he is a bit delayed ...
