"Be (Very) Good."

Rating: 10/10 (25 May 2010)

E.T. is easily one of the best movies that I have ever seen in my entire life. The story, acting, and music are all phenomenal. It truly is a masterpiece.
The story is about an Extra Terristrial (E.T.) who gets left behind on Earth on accident. Soon he befriends a young boy named Elliot and the two form a friendship that changes both their lives.
The story is a pretty good one. This time an alien that comes to Earth is not a bad guy or a threat. Rather it is peaceful and just wants to return home. At the beginning this film is pretty scary, but as soon as you see Elliot and E.T. become friends the film is really touching and moving and highly entertaining.
E.T. is a great character. Peaceful and curious, he just wants to go home. Also he has the awesome ability of telekenisis and can heal things with his fingers. One of the greatest non human characters in film history.
The children actors in this film are legendary. Drew Barrymore is great as Gertie. Henry Thomas puts forth a legendary performance as Elliot, true that it no doubt will be his most memorable role and one that always will be associated with him. Also the actor who played Elliots brother was good as well.
The music, is legendary. John Williams does a phenomenal job putting together a score that perfectly fits the film at the important points.
One of the greatest films of all time. Highly recommended, thank you Steven Spielberg for making it.
