Epic Fail!

Rating: 1/10 (9 October 2012)

This movie was Spielberg's lame attempt to recapture the so-called magic of E.T. Difference is, this time the alien was very ugly and mean.
Just like with E.T,, the children in this movie all talked like sailors. Considering the language that was used, this probably an insult to sailors.
Just like with most of Spielberg's movies, not a functional, normal family was in sight. Spielberg seems to believe that ALL children are like this. Of course, some are. However, not anywhere near as bad as he tends to portray them.
Taking away the cuteness of ET and replacing it with a blood-thirsty alien, as well as a stereotypical blood-thirsty military contingent, took away what little was good about E.T. It made this movie just a shell.
You wound up not caring about the creature, the children, heroes or the town itself.
E.T.! Please, go home for good.
