An above average film, but a bit over-rated

Rating: Null/10 (26 March 2005)

I think E.T. is a real good family movie especially for all the children to watch but after seeing it again I realize that it is a little dated now, and not quite as good as I remembered it being when I first watched it when I was young and saw it in theater and when it fist came out on videotape. I think kids like it obviously more than that adults would. The story has holes and is pretty simple but for kids it's real good. I did not like any of the restored and changed things in all the updates of the movie, especially changing the guns into the flashlights. What is the point of that? I was a kid when I saw it but the flashlights did no scare me at all. Kids aren't as fragile as I think these directors are thinking nowadays. Anyway I give E.T. a six out of ten rating because it is a good movie that is worth seeing with some unforgettable scene but only if you have kids watching and there are many better films out there that are not so well liked. E.T. is an above average movie, for kids.
