I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

This film was out of this world some may say including myself. I found it very sad at the end when E.T. was taken away from Elliott.

"E.T." is an all-time classic that deals with the extra-terrestrial E.T. who is left behind on planet earth by his species and meets Eliott, a young boy, who gives him shelter and helps him to make contact with his fellow friends.The movie ages quite well. All the cute and funny sequences still deliver the humor and heart that was put into the production. Even the special effects, that are by all means outdated, are carried out with enough care to avoid them from looking ridiculous. It is a typical case of a film settled somewhere between a children's movie, for which it is at parts quite scary, and a plot that adults can enjoy as well. The one thing that really bothered me was that for my taste too much cheesiness is woven into the plot. When E.T. is reanimated by Eliott's love for example, I can't help but feel that that's maybe a bit much. But otherwise this is still a movie you can enjoy with the whole family and one that had quite an influence on many people's childhoods.All in all you can't do much wrong by giving it a try, either as a reminiscence from your own childhood or as a classic that you shouldn't miss out on.
