The Spielster's Done A Lot Worse.

Rating: 7/10 (30 November 2000)

The eighties were a period where Spielberg began going through a transformation. By the time the nineties had arrived he had lost the plot due to his ridiculous sized budgets. In 1982 E.T. just managed to escape most of the Spielster's new ways.
E.T. was fairly well made and very emotional to the young viewers, and even some of the older viewers. I couldn't describe it as magical, but instead a bit of fun. The references to Star Wars were the highlight for me.
This time a 7 out of 10 for the Spielster.
