Overall a really well-directed, fun film. It's highly stylized which works well with the content. The plot isn't anything special, but it was great to watch.

a british alien invasion movie with the feel of a zombie comedy/horror flick, all aspects that i i'm on board for on their own, but together it ends up being a highly entertaining gulash of sorts.

A fairly interesting take on the alien invasion genre, really enjoyed the monster design and the kids completely stole the movie, delivering some brilliantly funny lines, trouble is the joke gets old pretty quickly and its ultimately just not exciting or funny enough to be the cult hit it wants to be.

It truly was too much madness for one text.

Great YA film, but not really entertaining for adults.

Given Joe Cornish's previous work, I think a lot of people might have been expecting a much broader comedy piece, or perhaps in a pastiche of the sci-fi-horror genre. Instead is a fine work of imaginative sci-fi with occasional moments of light relief. It has a solid premise, a story that plays that premise out, and is full of impressive performances. Particularly from the younger cast members. A very enjoyable piece of work.

I had a really fun time watching it. It's fast paced, funny, awesome alien design, and I liked most of the characters. Now I want blue neon teeth too

When the selling point of a movie is its originality, you'd expect more than a cliche, if competent, monster movie. Even the heroes, if unusual, are still stock ghetto arch types who can barely overcome the clumsy monsters that are easily dispatched by children and teenage girls. The monsters were just too silly to be scary and the protagonists too hapless for me to care who died. Sold by the internet hype machine as a rare and unique film to its detriment.

7- recommended, good

Great build-up, cool aliens and a nice mix of fun and action. More films like this, please!

The starting was kind of slow, but after the first 20 minutes it really picked up nicely. Moses was a well-developed character, and even though they were a bunch of punks, you really want to root for their survival. The Alien design was fantastic.

An affirmative delight. Horror scenario community building -- how is it that the shlockiest movies are so often the smartest?

A fresh take on the 80s Spielberg formula that Super 8 went for and failed. The kids do at times feel like caricatures, but they are both funny and sweet. The creature design is a bit too low budget, but it is excusable and their motivation for attacking is actually quite good.

The trappings of a B-movie with the skill and ambition of an A-movie. Delivers exactly what it promises: if the premise sounds interesting, you'll like it, because it's fun as hell, although sleight. Score is not a grade.

Awesome debut by Joe Cornish

While it was slow to start and we were quickly introduced to a group of very unlikable characters, it quickly changed into one heck of a film with very likable characters! Mixing genres was one of the films strong points as well as having some great characters who were passionate about protecting their town. John Boyega stood out for me in the cast as gang leader Moses, but everyone played their parts well. Overall it was a surprise hit for me that I thoroughly enjoyed, and others will too!

This is a nice twist to the alien invasion genre. There are many fun performances and the aliens have an interesting look. This is a entertaining movie that I would recommend.

To be honest I'm quite disappointed. It's cool and fun with a distinctly British flavor that sets it apart from other alien invasion films. But the story just feels too slight. Felt more like a TV show episode than an actual movie. I really enjoyed it but at the end, all I could think of was: "That was it?"

I can't imagine how this got a 90% on rottentomatoes. The few laughs aren't worth the mediocre everything else.

Finally a use for black people.

Goddamned thrill ride!

For an action sequence to be effective, there must be a reason to care about the outcome. Here, the characters are annoying, asshole wannabe gangsters. This is an interesting approach but one that fails on principle. It isn't until the final act when these guys start to develop some endearing characteristics. The action does contain a few unique tricks, the special effects are pretty good, and I quite liked the soundtrack. But I just wasn't very invested and most of the humor left me cold.

Attack the Block is a cool movie. Everything about the movie sort of oozes style. The way music is intertwined is a great example. Also, the design of the aliens is really cool and was probably my favorite part. I think the main problem with the film is that it doesn't have a clue what it wants to do. I understand genre fusion, but going from drama to comedy to horror to action and then back again so quickly ruined the impact of some scenes. Definitely worth a view.

In the wake of the Conservative attack on British film culture, movies as aesthetically and structurally inventive as Attack the Block work as vibrant, vivacious displays of cinematic defiance. Informed by pop awareness and exhilarating style, Cornish's urban sci-fi does (despite not fully realizing its awesome potential) upstage many a Hollywood counterpart, and gives the finger to budget-cutting fools who ignore the magnificent possibilities of entertainment.

The social commentary becomes kind of heavy-handed if you ask me, but everything else is spot on. It’s an alien invasion movie about a group of gang kids who group together to fight back. It’s simple, funny and to-the-point. It’s exactly what “Super 8” wasn’t. I don’t usually go for the summer genre flicks, but “Attack the Block” is so well-made and exciting that you can’t help but get sucked in to the story.

That was freaking hilarious, bruv!

This fast-paced and entertaining story is enhanced by a playful cartoonish humour which adds a satisfying level of depth to the run-and-scream genre antics which young British filmmakers seem to love. The no-name cast bring an authentic feel to the south London setting, and their rapport with Joe Cornish ensures that a great balance is found between a serious and a comedic tone. The same goes for the effects; meanwhile sound and visuals are first class. Possibly my favourite movie of 2011.

Great! We can only hope the damn kids will be half as effective when the alien invasion really comes

So, an alien invasion movie which contains gorilla-suited monsters and very little cg turned out pretty darn good thanks to a whole lot of talent and a little social awareness. The camera moves were so slick in this one, and they find a million ways to obscure the cheap as hell monsters and keep them scary. The heroes were amoral and unlikable, but their consciences eventually catch up with them and they do grow just enough to make them bearable. Great movie.

Top badass moment? When you're dealing with alien scum, there's no shortage of badass moments. However, I'm selecting tiny-tot tearaways Probs and Mayhem and their Super Soaker filled with petrol. You grow up fast in south London. Streetwise nine-year-olds are badass; and probably really annoying too if you live near any. 0 cats and 1 decapitation. (Well I think there was one; that crash helmet certainly went flying across the room and I think it probably still had a head inside it.)
