by Goatius  in Movies, , May 30 '00
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.
Several...

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: Truly a film for all ages =o)
Cons: none
"ET The Extra-Terrestrial," known as Steven Spielberg's first "small film," has become a modern classic. It was the summer of 1982 when this movie was released. I remember going to the movie theater when I was 8 years old to see it....

Pros: Spielberg direction, Mathison's script, Williams' score
Cons: Absolutely none
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: 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...

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: 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...

Pros: decent special effects for the date, fairly kid friendly, repeatable phrases
Cons: could scare young children, a little dated in the look, believable?
We recently introduced our three year old daughter to the magic of the movie E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial Was it too soon? Was she too young? Would the special effects, although laughable by today's standards, scare her too badly to sleep at...

Pros: wonderful story, great acting
Cons: none
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: Superb movie.
Cons: Scientists are depicted as the tool of an evil government.
I saw "E.T." the first time when it was released in the summer of 1982; I got into the first showing of the first theater to have the movie in town. In fact, I waited two hours in line to get a ticket, and I even got a neat "I saw...

Pros: Everything
Cons: Always makes me want Reese's Pieces
I don't think I'm making the breakthrough of the century by declaring E.T. a four-star movie, but I was surprised how much I enjoyed it when I pulled out our dog-eared copy, bought in the mid-80s, and watched it a couple weeks before my 20th...

Pros: Everything
Cons: Nothing
E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial," Steven Spielberg's first "small film," is a modern classic.
Forsaking the overload of special effects and high adventure that marked his previous successes to focus instead on a small story propelled by heart and...

Pros: Entire family enjoyment
Cons: none
This movie was first released back in 1982 and it has not lost its touch. It was and always be a classic as far as our family is concerned. We watch it often and my kids never seem to tire of this terrific award winning movie. They say it is one of...

by Ender_53 , Dec 09 '99
Pros: One of the best movies ever made
Cons: that it isn't on DVD yet
This is one movie where it takes a robot not to cry. It is uplifting, charming, the characters are lovable, and the action scenes are the kid equivalent of a car chase. The bikes scenes are some of the most touching, awe inspiring, and just feel good...
