SS took naïveté to new limits.

Rating: 2/10 (4 August 2001)

The fact that such a dud movie can be in the top 250 speaks volumes about the public's tastes.The story is mushy,maudlin to a fault,politically correct.The special effects are not that much impressive.No imagination,no humor(unless ET 's fancy for beer counts),and of course the young boy smarter than his mother.Some have gone as far as to compare ET's landing to the second coming.I'd rather see it as sci-fi Armaggedon time,when you see the decline of the genre beginning with star wars-which was a bit more imaginative than ET,at least,there was a screenplay and beautiful landscapes-This is sci-fi for kiddies or for retarded.It made a lot of bucks of course.It would.
