Rating: 10/10 (19 January 2013)

There is no denying that E.T is one of the greatest movies ever made and that E.T is one of the most memorable movie characters ever. Everything about this film is absolutely fantastic.
The acting is very good, considering the story evolves around 3 kids and an alien friend. They are all energetic, excited and simply have passion for their roles.
The story itself is simply brilliant. When I first watched E.T, I expected it to be one boy, who must by himself venture to return his alien friend home, simply due to the fact that no-one believes him nor will they assist him. Every time I would guess this will be next, the plot completely takes an unexpected turn, making the film all the better. The story itself is very touching and simply a joy to watch! Nothing went wrong with this film. It was funny, it was sad, it was exciting and simply a treat to the watch! All the characters are extremely brilliant in this film. We got the little sisters, Gerly. She's awesome. She has some touching moments with E.T, such as when she teaches him to speak. She is funny and simply a great addition to the story. Then we have Mike, Elliot's older brother who seems like a bully but ends up growing a heart due to this little alien friend. His character was the most unexpected to me as I expected him to go spreading rumors about everything and bail out on Elliot.
Steven Spielberg's directing for the film is brilliant. Though the film takes a while to get going, in fact over an hour, this film is packed with excitement, humor, emotion that its purely great, unlike other classics such as 2001 A Space Odyssey where nothing happens.
Even though this isn't even worth mentioning, John Williams soundtrack for the movie is absolutely amazing! It kills on every scene, especially when played more intensely! The film is made all the more better as this soundtrack not only makes you love the movie more, it also makes you imagine soundtracks such as Williams' classic Star Wars and Indiana Jones soundtrack.
Overall, E.T: The Extra Terrestrial is directed by one of the greatest, if not the greatest movie director of all time who brought to us one of his finest movies, making this one of the greatest movies. Three words to describe the film: FLAWLESS, MASTERPIECE, CLASSIC Steven Spielberg being one of the greatest directors (if not the best) creates one of his most beloved films, one that makes this simply a classic
