Like chilone, I gave it a 9, because I ENJOYED the movie thoroughly, not because it was a particular masterpiece. So your 5 and my 9 average out to 7, which is about right for this movie!
I grew up as a geek in the 70's and while I didn't do much with Super 8 film back then, I'm a videographer now and I've always been into drama, and would totally have hung out with a group of guys like this and crushed on a girl like Elle Fanning. The scene at the train station where they set everything up and get the shot with the train coming in IS a masterpiece - one of my favourite scenes in any movie anywhere - culminating with the train crash (yeah, I know it was over the top, but it was just so smash-em-up COOL!).
I like lots of different kinds of movie, but this one just made me grin
