Movie Reviews

Los Angeles Times - 9/10 by Kevin ThomasThe central weakness of Cocoon: the Return is that the film lacks any compelling reason to exist. Yes, it is a heartwarming film.
IGN - 7/10 by Eric GoldmanDanielle Harris deserves a lot of credit for her work in Halloween 4. It's hard to find truly believable child actors in general, and in the realm of a film like this, it's easy to expect the worst, yet she is very credible and relatable and took an idea that probably had some fans cringing -- a little girl as the hero of a Halloween sequel! -- and made it work.
Pajiba - 6/10 by Jeremy C. FoxMostly we get reheated leftovers and with even more mawkishness from the older actors and unfunny schtick from Steve Guttenberg.
ReelViews - 6/10 by James BerardinelliThe final minute of Halloween 4 remains as unsettling today as it was during its 1988 theatrical run. The real reason to see this movie is not for the predictable build-up, but for the cliffhanger provided by director Dwight H. Little and screenwriter Alan B. McElroy.
eFilmCritic.com - 6/10 by Scott WeinbergBrings back the same cast, but forgets the heart, wit, wonder, and warmth. This is a soulless sequel.
Washington Post - 6/10 by Desson ThomsonThe Return is a pleasant if superfluous invasion of your local theaters. Everyone in front of the Cocoon Uno camera is back, including Don Ameche, Wilford Brimley, Brian Dennehy, Hume Cronyn, Jessica Tandy, Steve Guttenberg and nine others. It's nice to see the old codgers still alive, kicking and making whoopee. But don't look for more than extra-terrestrial homecoming.
Miami Herald - 5/10 by Bill CosfordCocoon: The Return is so tired, in fact, that it can barely recapitulate the winning formula of the original hit.
Moviehole - 4/10 by Clint MorrisNear on par with the original...Sweet, Funny, Memorable
The New York Times - 4/10 by Caryn JamesIn this film, suspense and psychological horror have given way to superhuman strength and resilience...The one effectively handled scene is the last, which promises a sequel with a feminist twist.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 4/10 by Ken HankeAnd here I thought the aliens ate them the first time.
