Whoever gives this film lower than a 10 is WRONG.

Rating: 10/10 (27 July 2015)

Jaws is my favorite movie ever. But E.T. is just as much of a masterpiece as Jaws is. What made Jaws so great was the fact that it was a horror movie with tons of gore, but it was also a coming-of-age story about how Brody has to get over his dislike of the water. In E.T. The Extra Terrestrial, it follows Elliot surpassing being an adult and having to deal with E.T. being gone(in such a phenomenal ending scene that will bring on tears for generations upon generations to come). The effects, the score, the story, the characters are ALL excellent. As for the 2002 20th Anniversary version, the movie, other than a few politically correct changes I dread like the shotgun replacement and the terrorist line change, is still timeless no matter what, even with the CGI enhancements. Overall, E.T. is just fantastic. What else can be said??!!!
