the kid adventure movie is back!
the kid adventure movie is back
Cheesy and overproduced, the effects were amazing but the story was lackluster. There were a few groaner moments, to be perfectly honest.
It had potential Kinda fell apart and became a little overblown by the end.
Great flic, that totally reminded me of classic Spielberg films from the 80s, like Goonies, Indiana Jones, etc.
This movie is just ok.
This film far exceeded my expectations. A young group of kids hold this movie. I loved how interesting each of the actors personalities were developed, a good surprise is Dakota Fanning's younger sister and her role in this film. Not a typical alien versus man film. A must see!!
Can't go wrong with a Steven Spielberg movie! My whole family really enjoyed this thrilling movie!
This movie is sweet and inoffensive. Very enjoyable in an 80's kind of way. Very Goonies meets E.T.
I thought this was very well done. The story was well written & executed. The actors were phenomenal. It was like an updated version or ET.
great movie! brings back the ET days
More like 3.5 stars. Old school Spielberg at its best, I'm just not sure how relevant that is anymore. Overall, a "cute" movie, but that probably wasn't what he was going for.
it was like goonies meet et....
a wonderful retro type movie, kids acted great
I thought this was very good. It's like ET for a new generation.
Return of the Kid adventure movie!
Very very good, like a science fiction adventure version of "The Goonies".
Kids are funny, jumped a few times, good fun.
Very Strong acting. Great themes that are usually hard to express through what is mainly a Science-Fiction movie. Fantastic! I'll be first in line to buy the dvd!
anyone who is stating that this is a good movie needs to watch more movies. This movie was pure crap. The story was just boring and lacked any intelligence and just ended up being a cheesy monster movie in the end. How completely lame.
This movie was a huge disappointment. What a complete and utter piece of crap. This is the kind of dribble that 8th graders can write. There was nothing at all impressive about this movie. I was totally mortified that I was the one who suggested to my friends to see this utter piece of crap.
Loved it. The actors are very talented children. Great action, different story line. Cross between Stand By Me and The Goonies. Worth seeing
Good
The movie was great except for 4 things: It was obvious what the thing was, it was too loud, unnecessary swearing, and the ending.
It was good
J. J. Abrams' pays homage to Spielberg in this engaging adventure/comedy set in the 70s. Look closely and see elements of Jaws, ET, Indiana Jones, and the Goonies skilfully intertwined as young teens deal with a seemingly-malevolent alien, a government cover-up, and coming-of-age romance. Entertaining and fun for the whole family!
Loved it- the young actors were so right for their roles. The 2 hours flew by, no lulls in the action!
Awesome acting, great action scenes and good writing.
Great story, very good acting and good alien!
Really loved this movie! Great special effects, especially the train scene. Loved the overall themes of family, friendships and forgiveness.
great movie
great movie! my 2nd fav besides "avatar", however, some questions were left unanswered. but the rest makes up 4 it! 5 stars+++++++++++
I was expecting something special, trusting a Spielberg production would be good, but was very, very disappointed. The story is 99% focused on kids, not the alien, which means you are never told what it is, where it came from, and you never really see what it looks like! So you won't be disappointed like I was, only expect a boy-coming-of-age story (yes, another one - yawn) with no real depth or context to it, haphazard special effects that you have seen a million times before, and a sappy, sloppy story and complacent ending. I wish I could get my money back. :(
Really good. Reminded me of "E.T."
great movie an epic thrill
Amazing! Although the cast was mainly youth, the storyline and emotions conveyed in the film were timeless. This was one of the best films of the year!!! I was reminded of the classic film the GOONIES because of the themes of friendship, love, family, and adventure that both films contained. LOVED IT!!!
Well written, great actors, fast action, great family movie (but a little scary for the really young). I thought character development was very well done.
Got to say, just saw this and it was really well done. A more grown up version of E.T. It is well worth the money to see it on big screen, unlike some of the movies that have come out.
It was really a good movie!! Kept my interest throughout...highly recommend seeing it.
A cheesy movie with poor plot and character development. You're left with lots of questions in the end that aren't answered. It could have been far better written and edited. Too long for such an incomplete storyline! And I wouldn't take kids to see it if they are the least bit anxious. Lots of cheap scary moments.
Amazing movie....I love the part where Luke found out Darth Vader was his father.
Fun movie. Little bit like ET with attitude. Good action movie for the whole family.
With JJ Abrams and Steven Spielberg?!? What can one say but this is a wonderful movie with a good mix of action, humour and humanity.
Wonderful movie for families. The cast was exceptional. A few editing flaws at the end that made it a bit cheesy, but we really enjoyed the movie. It was nice to see something interesting that wasn't sleezy.
Best family friendly movie we have seen in a long time. Wholesome enough for the young and exciting enough for the adults. Has a good story line, special effects, and character development to keep your interst. The cast was great. Kyle Chandler was perfect for this part. We loved it.
kraft,bad,no brainer,ugly movie...worse ever my nephew 9 years old wants to go in the middle of movie...super 8 (motel)
This movie went from Super Gr8t to Suoer bad. The last 20 minutes was a real cheese fest! Please don't waste your money on this one
