Yes, I am that one person who was not totally blown away by Super 8. Don't get me wrong, I thought it was a good film and yes, I will admit to getting a little choked up at the end, however, I don't think that it came close to ET, the movie to which it was compared to endlessly. The story follows a bunch of kids who want to make a movie even if it means sneaking out at night to do the filming. One fateful night as they are filming,they are witness to a terrible train crash and they have a front row seat for the chaos that ensues. I think the thing that bothered me the most, was how the movie took such a hard right turn 
into sci-fi material while also trying to tug at the heartstrings. I won't say it was bad, just surprising, and just a tad off putting. Overall, however, I did enjoy the film.
