Sky High
Set in a world where superheroes are commonly known and accepted, young Will Stronghold, the son of the Commander and Jetstream, tries to find a balance between being a normal teenager and an extraordinary being.
Critics Sentiment
Will teams up with sidekicks to defeat Royal Pain and save Sky High
Layla confides her love for Will to Warren Peace
The biggest sentiment shift occurs when Royal Pain's identity is revealed and the baby transformation plot unfolds, lifting the predictable story into more creative territory.
Sky High starts as a predictable but charming superhero high school story that wins over audiences with Bruce Campbell's memorable performance and creative world-building. The film dips during familiar romantic subplot territory but recovers strongly with an unexpected villain reveal and satisfying finale that celebrates the underdog sidekicks. While not groundbreaking, it succeeds as entertaining family fare with enough wit and heart to please both kids and adults.
