Movie Reviews of The Goonies
Movie Review: BACK TO MY CHILDHOOD!!! AHHhh... MEMORIES..
Summary: 5 Stars
Every generation has certain movies that will always transport them back to childhood. "The Goonies" does that for alot of people in my generation. The cool thing about this flick is, not only does it take you back, but, once there, it captures so wonderfully what the best moments of being a kid felt like. Yes, the plot is mostly a fantasy-the ultimate wish fulfillment of having a great adventure, and saving the day. However, the soul of the movie-why it's still cherished today-is it's understanding of friendship and family. "Stand By Me" is the only other film that has so accurate a portrait of adolescent boys interacting with each other. The cast had such an amazing chemistry. Great direction by Richard Donner, and this is Spielberg magic in it's prime. This fantastic DVD presentation does the film justice. Some may think this movie is way too 80's, but to me "The Goonies" is an essential classic.
Movie Review: Pirates of the state of Oregon

Boy, THIS sure brings back a whole lot of memories. Flight of the Navigator, Milo & Otis, Casper, and now The Goonies are just some of the family films that I remember watching when I was a little kid. I sure had a good time watching them either alone or with the entire family. The Goonies I particularly remember very well for the underground adventures, and the characters Chunk & Sloth. They make a great duo, don't they? The booby traps and the "keys" to the hidden treasure were a bit frightening back then, but now they're pretty imaginative. This, along with the other family films that I've mentioned above never gets tedious. Of course, they don't! We loved them when we were kids, and it's not such a bad thing when you're looking for some childhood nostalgia. Although I slightly prefer Milo & Otis and others, The Goonies is still a great one.Movie Review: ' Great fun, especially for those of the Gen X, 80's crowd.

Cindy Lauper, who has a song or two in movie, was big back in the 80's. Her songs are, basically, a reflection whenever they are played.
I admit that I bought this movie because of the story and the music, but the soundtrack is something that pushed me to buy it.
This movie has a intelligent storyline and great writing. The acting and the directing are not bad, at all.
But, to put it quickly, the story is about destiny, and, pretty much, the destiny of 7 children in a small town of this movie.
Big developers move in to try to take over this town, but these kids find a unique and different way to fight back.
'Great adventure.
If you've seen the film, it's good to watch over again.
If not, try renting from Netflix first.
Movie Review: Goonies forever
Summary: 5 Stars
There are very few films that really stick with you from childhood on until today. See when I was a kid and I first saw Goonies it was like a little adventure you were preparing for. You had your blanket it was dark you had your friends over watching the film made you yourself go on an adventure. Why anyone would give this film anything below a 4 star rating is beyond me.
I dont have to tell you the story line of this film because chances are you saw it already if not then you must be somewhere under 27 or 28 because this film was really for the late 20 early 30's individual before surround sound, and HD was even considered as a movie format. The benefit of Goonies is that it takes you back to when you were a kid and keeps you there.
Movie Review: An Absolute Treasure
Summary: 5 Stars
The Goonies, written by Steven Spielberg and directed by Richard Donner, is a wonderful adventure story. If you haven't seen it I won't go into it too far, but it's about four friends, accompanied by one's brother and his friends on a trip to find a Pirate's gold.
Quite wonderful. This and Stand By Me (Special Edition) are the essential children's 80's movies that everone should see. Magical.
As this is only a rerelease of the earlier version the features are the same.
Highly recommended.
