Not as expected. Didn't quite get it right.

Rating: 3/10 (7 August 2011)

Not going to say to many things about this film, it would offend the past excellent work of the directors and production staff. I expected so much more. It just didn't do it for me. What the hell was it all about. Bits of other films all jumbled up. It even had the next generation of kids from the first films, you know, the one where they fell down a hole and ET it was not. I have a suspicion it was conceived over a bottle of bubbly on a large directors boat in Monaco. I can hear the glasses clinking as i watched it. On the positive side i stayed awake. I feel that the film will be seen by most people and 25 percent will take it on the nose as a decent attempt to keep ET alive. Most i expect will forget it.
