Let's be real

Rating: 5/10 (6 May 2019)

If you were a kid in the eighties than I'm sure you love E.T. It's a visually impressive film and we'll directed but it truly speaks to one generation. As a 90's / 2000's kid, E.T. freaked me out. He resembled a burn victim and I did not enjoy the film. This is a kid's movie and kids nowadays and in the future won't relate to E.T. I've showed this film to some kids and they don't like him either. If the film doesn't speak to its target audience then it's not relevant anymore. It's still good but only works as nostalgia for an older generation. I'm sure my opinion won't be liked but it's valid.
