I never get it

Rating: 1/10 (12 March 2009)

I watched this film after hearing others rave on about it being the best film ever and to say I was disappointed is an understatement. I foud it incredibly boring, the special effects were laughable and ET itself was about the worst glove puppet I had ever seen, a hand in a sock would have been more realistic. I am a big fan of Steven Spielburg and enjoy most of his films but this one just lost me. However I can respect the fact that many other people have really enjoyed this film and I am not really criticizing them at all, I am simply saying that it was lost on me. I just don't see it as a great or even a good film. 'Batteries not included' was to my mind a much better ET film but didn't seem to appeal to as many people as ET.
