E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial

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.

At the same time, apart from the...

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,...

This is a heart-warming tale about a lost alien who finds a friend on this planet. One without a bias opinion; a child with a pure heart. It's a wonderful story that reminds us of our own humanity. These cute little alien steals you heart and make...

Pros: Family Entertainment
Cons: non

The first time I saw this movie I was only 14 years old. Its hard to believe that the movie came out in 1982. That was 17 years ago, boy do I feel old. I loved this movie it was so touching, if you didn't cry during this movie then something must be...

Pros: a harmless alien friend
Cons: he has to return home eventually...

When I was young, and I first saw E.T. I fell in love with this alien.
This heart warming science fiction tale displayed a plot in which something happens that no one could ever think possible. We all want to believe in another life form from an...

Pros: great storytelling,special effects,an alien you can respect unlike Mac & Me
Cons: Even if you're a big guy, the tender story can make you cry like a boyhood dream come true. Now don't tell me I didn't warn you! This makes the movie a perfect Date Strategy if you're a girl and you want to see a Big Guy (a.k.a., your date) cry!

This is one of the greatest films of all time, where Steven Spielberg is at his storytelling best. By now, I must have seen this movie a hundred times.

What fascinates me about the film is not so much the special effects or the plot, it's the...

Pros: Great story with a happy ending
Cons: Too much cuteness gets in the way of the story

Forget the cuteness of this movie and watch it for the feel good story. I didn't see this movie til I was 18 yrs old and I was still touched by the warmth and drama and emotion it generated. E.T. is so personified that you forget he's an alien and he...

Pros: A True Classic!
Cons: None

I remember being 10 years old and the ET craze going on, I even had my Bday Party in ET when I turned 11. I had a thrill seeing the movie, reading the book, and just being a kid's dream. I was'nt aware that Drew Barrymore would be in so many films after...

Pros: good effects
Cons: not for children under 4

when i was 4 yrs old my mother had taken me to see this movie. i remember all my little friends saying how they loved e.t. so i begged her that we can go see it. she ended up taking me to the showing at 7 pm. at that time it was dark. we went to see it...

Pros: Timeless
Cons: none

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: I was bewitched
Cons: maybe the ending

This is one of my all time favorite movies. When it was released there had been nothing like it before. It was a very welcome novelty for me. It tugs at your heart strings time & again & I always end up blubbering no matter how many times I've...
