Leave your thoughts about E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.
| Daily Telegraph (UK)Marc LeeIt is a hugely enjoyable romp, but compellingly spiked throughout with little stabs of anxiety. |
| Daily-ReviewsShay CaseyI'm a tough guy; I can handle this stuff. That's not even a real alien. It's a puppet. Pffff. |
| Houston Community NewspapersGary BrownMake no mistake about it: The magic of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial is best appreciated on the big screen. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenSpielberg's movie effectively shows adults a world as seen from the point of view of a excited boy. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonThe hard, cold, cynical me now realizes how precious and rare things like friendship and gentleness can be that the film touched me in different ways than when I was 13. |
| Boxoffice MagazineDavid LinckForsaking the overload of special effects and high adventure that marked his previous successes to focus instead on a small story propelled by heart and imagination, Spielberg has made a film that will touch audiences for years to come. |
| Modamag.comBrian OrndorfThe new effects might not be to your liking, but the strength of the filmmaking, the power of the story and the wonder of E.T. should be more than enough to warmly remind you of the last time an honest film about childhood innocence was made. |
| Hollywood.comKit BowenThe film is a pure gem, proving once again what an incredible visionary Spielberg truly is. |
| Filmcritic.comChristopher NullWhat's intact is the film's powerful yet unmushy message of friendship, unconditional love, helping those in need... geez, what doesn't this film have that an impressionable kid couldn't stand to hear? |
| Laramie Movie ScopeRobert RotenIt is an exceptionally visual film and an exceptionally emotional film, but the kind that most of us don't mind being manipulated by. |
