I understand why some people are so against it and other so for it. I personally ended up in the middle, kind of indifferent. Don't feel too bad Brent, I've had movies like that as well, ones I just end up hating with a passion.danielhttp://flicksfan.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934503259256498744.post-26817085580716041202011-06-14T06:46:57.369-05:002011-06-14T06:46:57.369-05:00If it had been promoted as it should have been the...If it had been promoted as it should have been then maybe I would look at it differently. I just feel somewhat decieved by it all. Problem is too one of my pet gripes with manistream Hollywood..just the total lack of originality. Here there is none as it really is ET and The Goonies mashed together and called a homage. In essence it is nothing more than a poor man's re-boot of those two movies for a new generation.<br /> One review I've read has called it ' cultural polluting filth'!!!!!! It has been a long time since I've been so anti a movie I can tell you!!BRENThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15953231992674091002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934503259256498744.post-87962730809647367412011-06-13T12:45:01.896-05:002011-06-13T12:45:01.896-05:00It's an ambitious movie and there really is a ...It's an ambitious movie and there really is a lot to like about it esp if you are a fan of 80s era Speilburg.danielhttp://flicksfans.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934503259256498744.post-1698363778367063892011-06-13T11:24:04.862-05:002011-06-13T11:24:04.862-05:00I haven't seen it yet, but I've been wanti...I haven't seen it yet, but I've been wanting to.
