Wonderful character development!
... View MoreOne of my all time favorites.
... View MoreJust intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
... View MoreThe movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
... View MoreI grew up in the ninties and so I could've easily seen The Goonies when I was a kid, but for whatever reason (maybe the language) I never did.I watched The Goonies for the first time in my life this year as a young adult and despite the fact that I was watching through 2017 eyes, I was instantly brought back to my childhood. As if I knew the characters in this movie when I was a kid. As if I had seen the movie countless times as a kid.The Goonies is such a wonderful mixture of fantasy, adventure, wonder, excitement, exploration, and humor; combined with the classic Spielberg style, it's a film that makes a lasting impact and leaves you wanting more.Since watching the film, I've been looking for others like it, but to no avail. No number of "movies like the goonies" Google searches seems to be enough. I've been left to conclude, at least for the time being, that The Goonies is unmatched in the authentic mid-1980s adventure that it embodies.
... View MoreThat one quote rings most perfect to this movie. It doesn't matter how old it is, or how old you are watching this movie, it's timeless and ageless. This really brings back the magic of childhood with its sense of wonder. The Goonies themselves are all memorable in one way shape or form. Sean Astin definitely deserved an award for this role as the de facto leader of the group, but you've got to hand it to Jeff Cohen (Chunk) for his acting ability. In fact he steals half the show with his antics (long live the Truffle Shuffle!). I love the traps the group encounters as they're all creative, my personal favorite is the bone piano; you certainly don't see that everyday. But the ending is just great when you find out hope is restored when Rosalita finds the gems to save the homes that Mikey stashed in his bag. I end this review with this quote: "Hey you guys!"
... View MoreThis is one of the pearls defended by some of my friends with a similar age as "the movie to astonish your kids". But to be honest, I think the astonished was me. I saw the movie when I was a kid, but I didn't really remember too much (thanks god! I should have leaved it like that!). Now I regret to have seen it with my oldest. Just a bunch of kids screaming and swearing during a good part of the movie, fighting against time to discover a secret hidden in a very pathetic way, while a bunch of unattractive villains chase them to usual "they almost catched them" situations. Please, treat your kids as smart people, because they really are, and show them better adventure movies.
