Customer Reviews of E.T. - The Extra-Terrestrial (Widescreen Edition)
If It Isn't Broken, Don't Fix It! A film should stand as a testament or product of its era/time. So why change that and steal the appeal that made them special? Another questions for future generations to ask when they watch what once was a movie classic, but now raped into submission by political correctness. <

>It was what it was, but now - what is it??? I'm having a hard time deciphering that myself. The magic of E.T. has been tainted. When it should have been left alone. <

Awesome. But only for the second disc.
This is a fantastic film. I don't know when it became cool to diss Spielberg and his movies but I see why it was included as the 24th greaest American movie on AFI's 10th Anniversary list.

>Such a powerful movie. It works on so many levels and Henry Thomas gives a wonderful performance.

>But the first disc ruins the classic. CGI takes away that realistic feel to movies. No matter how wondeful the advancements are, there's something about CGI that ruins a classic when it's retouched in an unneeded way.

>E.T. did not need retouching. It's a perfect film. One of the best I've seen.
Great Enjoyment for the Whole Family
I know many adults who, when pressed, will admit to crying during ET. It's a movie that really knows how to play your heart-strings. The basic story is pretty straight-forward. A cute, friendly alien gets stranded on earth, and is befriended by a young boy and girl who try to help the alien get back home again. In an era where most aliens are evil, nasty creatures bent on world domination, the police and FBI agents are all out to grab and investigate this menace. So you end up with the nasty, dark government against the cute, innocent kids.

>I saw this movie as a teen and enjoyed it greatly. I've seen the movie *with* kids and they loved it. It really is a movie that appeals to all ages, and it does that without talking down to anyone. It's earned its spot in the AFI top 100 movie listing with its plot, pacing, acting and directing.

>If I have a complaint here, it's with the "redone" 2002 version. The movie was great as it was when first put out. There was no need to alter the ET main character. His whole appeal was that he was organic and someone you could relate to. Why turn him into a CGI thing?

>Also, I have an issue with them turning the police and FBI's weapons into walkie-talkies. Sure, kids don't need to be exposed to Pulp Fiction degrees of blood and violence. However, to say that police officers can't carry weapons makes no sense to me. What's next - gunfighters in the old west who walk around with empty holsters? When real police do community policing and walk beats, should they hide their guns so that kids don't see them? I found this completely unnecessary and more than a little insulting to the intelligence of the youngsters watching with me.
