Sky High

Sky High is a 2005 American superhero comedy film produced by Walt Disney Pictures, Gunn Films and is distributed by Buena Vista Pictures.

Plot
At a school in the sky where teens learn how to be superheroes, Will Stronghold lands in a class for students who show special promise. Classmate Gwen quickly cozies up to Will, but it's soon clear that she has other motives. When he learns that Gwen's mother is a villain who was defeated by his father, Steve Stronghold, Will realizes that Gwen is aiming for revenge, and he rushes to a school dance in the hope of stopping her.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) The idea of a high school for superheroes is very cool and original.
 * 2) The movie has a very classic, imaginative, and nostalgic feel to it. It has a style most superhero movies don't have.
 * 3) It has a ton of epic action scenes, like the cafeteria scene and the prom scene.
 * 4) The production values are good.
 * 5) Likable and awesome characters, like Will Stronghold, a sympathetic character who has an inability to gain powers until the final battle, his friends and his parents.
 * 6) Great casting, with Kurt Russell and Kelly Preston and Commander and Jetstream, Bruce Campbell as Coach Boomer and Lynda Carter (who used to play Wonder Woman) as Principal Powers.
 * 7) Royal Pain is a threatening villain.
 * 8) Awesome soundtrack by Michael Giacchino, who composed other superhero films like ‘’ The Incredibles & Spider-Man: Homecoming''.
 * 9) "I Melt With You" by Bowling for Soup is also pretty good.
 * 10) A really unexpected twist where it turns out that Will's love interest is actually an evil villain in disguise who wants to rule the world.
 * 11) It has a great and funny reference to the 70’s Wonder Woman TV Show, which is pretty cool to say the least.
 * 12) "SIDEKICK!!!"
 * 13) Despite not aging well, the CGI effects look decent at the time, as they look really decent and also fits the film's light hearted theme very well.
 * 14) Cool direction by Mike Mitchell
 * 15) Tom Kenny and Jill Talley's cameo is absolutely hilarious.

Bad Qualities
YAn40kWjijc QmOiHX9vOSI
 * 1) As typical for a Disney teen film, it still has those typical high school cliches.
 * 2) The CGI effects, while decent, look kinda cheap and hasn't aged that well in the slightest, as they look like they're made using the Unreal Engine or made specifically for a computer animated film.
 * 3) Depending on your view, the prom scene can be annoying.
 * 4) The party at Will's house, while not incredibly mean-spirited, is probably the most intolerable scene in the whole movie and not all the misunderstandings were cleared up very well.
 * 5) *The part here Gwen lies to Layla is painful to watch.
 * 6) Layla, while not horrible, is not very likable:
 * 7) *The thing with her not showing her powers to Coach Boomer (only because the situation is not serious enough) is silly, unnecessary, and questionable.
 * 8) *Her plan of making Will jealous by spending time with Warren Peace is absurd and kind of annoying.
 * 9) *She's gullible: She gets easily fooled when Gwen lies to her about Will and never once tried thinking he would never do such a thing.
