The newspaper article states “At first, the young cast come across as over-gabby and grating, but they soon win us over”, This shows how effectively the cast has played their roles which gained them a positive representation in the print media.
http://www.empireonline.com/reviews/reviewcomplete.asp?DVDID=118873 – The empire review also gives positive representation of the young cast for example “Thankfully, the kids are more than alright. They’re fabulous: yearningly fresh-faced and infantile”, this shows that their acting has really impressed the audiences whether it is young audience or older.
Overall, even though super 8 has been criticised, casts’ acting has been praised well by many reporters in famous news papers and magazines.
