One of the best movies ever. A unique friendship story. A unforgettable classic for anyone of all ages
I love this movie. It has friendship, love, action, and good messages. Get this instead of Mac and Me(1988) a bad movie and a ripoff. I rated this the Austin Review Collectors Series

Great movie!
Got to think of it, this might of been my all time favorite movie when I was younger. That tells a lot considering that I'm very picky about my movies. It's a truly wild adventure about a boy who finds an alien and befriends him.

Spielberg's really outdone himself!
Steven Spielberg's really outdone himself! This is one of the best family movies of all time, anyone who hasn't seen it will very much enjoy it. E.T. goes home and it is a very touching and heartfelt movie.

E.T. Not in my home
Its really sweet, but I had a nightmare that E.T. was jumping around in my living room making strange noises. Also, when I saw the movie at grandmas, I hid it, nobody found it for at least 2 years. Its a good movie, I was just scared of E.T. and some of the music is creepy. Then again, I'm just a wuss.

very cute!
very cute movie (: i think it might creep some younger kids out, because of the whole... you know... alien enlarged head magic glow in the dark "E.T Phone Home" finger thing (i'm talking from experience here, people), but it's so cute that you can't stay freaked for long. i would definitely recommend this to anyone!

One of the best alien movies I've seen.
My rating: PG for a few tense sequences and some language.

Very Appealing to Younger Children But May Frighten
This movie has very positive messages and role models. I'm concerned, though, about the very strong languange that they use. I am also concerned about the violence in this movie. For example, the older boy, for Halloween, has a fake ax on his head with fake blood. I am also concerned about the government agents always chasing after E.T. The scene where E.T. turns very pale is very emotional and somewhat frightening. E.T., himself, might frighten younger children by his image. I, myself, am very frightened of his image. But he is overall cute and very loving. E.T. is very small and cute and probably will appeal to younger children like 3 year olds. This is my highlights and concerns about E.T.
