Like all Spielberg movies, every single minute of this looser is predictable. This is the first movie that made me realize that Hollywood was pandering to me--I was about 19 then.

This 1982 fantasy, sci fi, family, adventure film is one of them films that never really grabbed my interest but seen it enough times.

I'd say the only good bits are the flying bikes and the bike scenes at the end. The rest is kind of tacky, lazy and boring and certainly most of this film drags on and is boring and the alien named E.T. looks faker than Michael Jackson's plastic surgery and he talks and is leprechaun sized.

Stars Dee Wallace, Henry Thomas, Drew Barrymore... Directed by Steven Spielberg.… Expand

The story is very banal, the alien aesthetically sucks and the film is full of clichés. I prefer a more adultThis film, seen when you are a child, remains positively impressed but if you see it when you grow up it can create repulsion. The story is very banal, the alien aesthetically sucks and the film is full of clichés. I prefer a more adult science fiction. One of the worst Spielberg's movies.… Expand
