Pros: In a class by itself for sci-fi family films, heartwarming, innovative. Believable kid hero characters. Cons: DVD - "bonus materials" weak, "E.T. explains the solar system item" segment is annoying
True film fans, which is to say, fanatics, may just love the technical aspects of this release, and the movie is well worth seeing, especially if you haven't seen it yet, or haven't seen it in nearly 20 years.
Last March, I went to see the re-release of "E.T.: the Extra-Terrestrial" in theatres. Steven Spielberg's sci-fi masterpiece remains as wonderful an experience as when I first saw it on video when I was a kid. Many people, including myself, consider...
Pros: An all-time classic family film, "Ultimate Gift Set DVD" a great Christmas gift. Cons: None
Before Steven Spielberg tackled racial issues in films like THE COLOR PURPLE and AMISTAD, he had made a film that extols the beauty of understanding and friendship between different races and cultures. It was a seemingly innocuous fantasy called E.T....
Pros: E.T has great charactors, great special affect and great writting.
Cons: I cried my eyes out.
I deleted one of my reviews. My original thought was to be able to reach people that wanted to rent E.T for .99 cents and reach the people that wanted to spend $8 at the movie theater. I submitted the same review twice because in my Epinion...
In the age of computer animation, and high tech gimmickry, ET still stands proud. He is still believable. How can you develope affection for a set of pixels arranged to looks like a character? (Need and example - how about the insufferable Jar-Jar...
Pros: Sweet, touching, makes you think! Cons: Can't think of any.
INTRODUCTION: This article is the second one of a three-part series that is written as part of a very unusual write-off known as ELEVDADO (because it's being hosted by Elvisdo and levda ). I'm going to give you a thumbnail...
Pros: Spielberg's direction; suspense; special effects--pretty much EVERYTHING Cons: None
Nearly twenty years since it was first released, Steven Spielberg's 1982 sci-fi/fantasy masterpiece E.T.: THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL remains one of the cinema's finest hours (or two hours, in this case). It is everything one could want in a movie: fantasy,...
Pros: A very well done movie. Cons: There is not one thing that I can find wrong.
Henry Thomas and Drew Barrymore played in this very wonderful, heart-warming movie as two young children who instantly fell in love with a creature that is known as "E.T."
Thomas played the role of Elliot whose mind seem to be elsewhere other...
With the re-release of E.T. - The Extra-Terrestrial to celebrate its 20th anniversary, I thought this would be a perfect time to do a review of this timeless classic.
Before I get into the actual review, I'd like to write a little bit...
Pros: the kids all love him Cons: he gets the kids in trouble LOL
This movie is for anyone young or old. The kids are usually the ones who will except anyone for any reason and this movie was no exception. Can you imagine finding an alien and NOT telling everyone you know? I cant. The kids kept a secret even tho they...
This movie has a dark atmosphere, it seems to me. It was very depressing,
seeing it the first time. It's a movie about abandonment. E.T. is abandoned by his friends, Elliot(Henry Thomas)is fatherless. It makes you want to cry. This is a very...
Pros: Awesome Directing and good acting Cons: None that I can find
This has got to be one of Spielberg's biggest hits of all time. It really brings a tear to my eye when I see this movie. Elliot, a young boy at home one night notices lights and decides to investigate. What does he find, but an alien that has been...
Pros: Fun for all ages...beautiful story line...Spielberg's direction. Cons: Some scenes might be too intense for extremely young children...prescreen the movie and judge for yourself before allowing tots to watch
Every once in a while, a film comes along that transcends the boundaries of age and appeals to movie-goers of every level of maturity. E.T. is just such a film.
When it was first released near the start of the Reagan era in 1981, E.T. was meant...
Pros: Terrifically directed, Thomas is marvelous Cons: Not as cool if you're older than 12, ever so slightly overrated
The highest grossing film domestically for fifteen years, Spielberg's second foray into science fiction/fantasy was a runaway success with both audiences and critics alike. And despite losing its bid for Best Picture to Gandhi in 1982, it has...
Pros: Steven Spielberg directing, John Williams writes the music. What more could you ask for? Cons: You're kidding, right?
It's the line that shook the world. Well, it shook mine, anyway. I saw "E.T." many times when I was young (really young), but I'm afraid I was too young to truly appreciate the value of a good heart-touching movie.
Director Steven Spielberg s heartwarming masterpiece is one of the brightest stars in motion picture history. Filled with unparalleled magic and imagi...More at Buy.com Marketplaces
