Steven Spielberg's 1982 hit about a stranded alien and his loving relationship with a fatherless boy (Henry Thomas) struck a chord with audiences everywhere, and it furthered Spielberg's reputation as a director of equally strong commercial sensibilities and classical leanings. Henry Thomas gives a strong, emotional performance as E.T.'s young friend, Robert MacNaughton and Drew Barrymore make a solid impression as his siblings, and Dee Wallace is lively as the kids' mother. The special effects almost look a bit quaint now with all the computer advancements that have occurred since, but they also have more heart behind them than a lot of what we see today. --Tom Keogh

Customer Rating: Summary: Review of "E.T." movie Comment: i saw the original screen version. I bought your version for my grandson. I could swear there were some parts/sequences that were
missing from your version.
Carol Norsworthy Customer Rating: Summary: Classic movie Comment: This movie never gets old, and no matter how old I get, I still get a little misty. Customer Rating: Summary: ET the Extra Terestrial Comment: I am pleased with the product, but I do prefer ET in it's original version.
This movie is the remake with some extra scenes which I think take away from the original film. They should have left it as it originally was: a masterpiece! Customer Rating: Summary: The heart of an extra-terrestrial. Comment: E.T. is a childhood favorite but I have to admit, E.T. scared me a bit. That little alien was kinda freaky to look at, but watching it now he's so cute and precious, what was I so afraid of? Henry Thomas should've been a bigger star after this movie, such a talented actor. Drew Barrymore is pure genius in this, she steals every scene. This film isn't perfect but this movie came out the year I was born so it has special meaning for me, enjoy! Customer Rating: Summary: A fun romp through Spielberg's world. Comment: E.T.
Who doesn't remember this movie when it came out, unless you were too young.
I didn't like it as a kid.
For some reason I like it better as an adult.
Sorry, I can't answer that one either.
Its fun, it's got a great story.
It's definitely Spielberg's better moments and he's had MANY.
