Leave your thoughts about The Goonies.
| Hollywood ReporterArthur KnightThe action at the center of Chris Columbus' script occasionally falters and generally feels manufactured, but the kids go about their chores as if convinced that all their make-believe is true. |
| WORLD Megan BashamWith a story by Steven Spielberg, it's like being able to share the fun of Indiana Jones with your kids without all the monkey brains and eyeball soup. |
| Capital Times (Madison, WI)Rob ThomasLoads of fun for kids and tweeners, or at least it was back in the '80s. |
| The New York TimesJanet MaslinIt has crooks, bats, cobwebs, skeletons, a lovable monster, an underground grotto and a treasure hidden by some of the most considerate, clue-loving pirates who ever lived. Their ghostly ship is the movie's piece de resistance. |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrIt's a charmless exercise: director Richard Donner turns the kids into shrieking ferrets, and his jumpy cutting seems to lag behind the action deliberately in a curious attempt to make the film seem more chaotic and cluttered. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe Goonies, like Gremlins, shows that Spielberg and his directors are absolute masters of how to excite and involve an audience. "E.T." was more like "Close Encounters"; it didn't simply want us to feel, but also to wonder, and to dream. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrThe action at the center of Chris Columbus' script occasionally falters and generally feels manufactured, but the kids go about their chores as if convinced that all their make-believe is true. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.An excellent child oriented fantasy adventure in the vein of "The Hardy Boys." |
| The GuardianPeter BradshawThe Goonies has a rich and indomitable air of all-American innocence. |
| Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL)Jeffrey WesthoffI find nothing entertaining about kids screaming for two hours. |
