Back to the 80ies?

Rating: 4/10 (25 June 2011)

Now we have here bunch of good reviews, so I will not repeat the obvious as many perceived about this movie, nor will analyze the facts or anything else about it, only to express general feeling about it.
Well what is so obvious it is that we have the same plot concept as it is with great titles like it is ET, Goonies, 1941., Stand by Me, and also IT which marked 80ies with its unique concept of friendship, and battle for moral and positive virtues, from perspective of kids.
I like this movie from that side, as it perfectly fits in it, and it seems to me it is some kind of nostalgia from director. The influence of Spielberg is obvious here.
Now, I am someone that lived in that era, and was the same age as it is our characters in this movie, so all that put me in state of nostalgia. I admit, the movie is great made as an clone of movies from that era.
But what I don't like is that we don't have nothing new or fresh, just that repeated nostalgic concept from different perspective.
I don't have a kid so I can't gave any conclusions how the young generations perceive it, but in time we live where everything is so fast and violent I think this movie might be responded as very slow from the audience.
So it is OK movie, brings back fine memories, but still not that good as titles mentioned earlier, and nothing so special, even we all expected something maybe better. But as a conclusion, it is OK.
