You won't be disappointed!

Fantastic!

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

I don't understand where the "This is the first movie to give me nightmares" reviews are coming from...I mean, this was a PG movie from the '80s. And the '80s was a decade where ratings never really mattered. "Robocop" horribly bloody scenes and I remember watching it with a hole bunch of other 8 year-olds and parent's that thought "yup, kids are going to love this movie." "The Twilight Zone: The Movie" was tame compared to soooo many other movies people that were little kids in the '80s liked to watch..."Nightmare on Elm Street." My mom and dad made me wait until I was in 3rd grade to watch that one.Anyway, almost all of the stories had happy endings, almost all of them had morals. And even as a little kid you can walk away learning something about life.And we did, in our own little way. It falls under a beloved Childhood Classic for a lot of kids my age...who are adults now. Not as cherished as The Goonies, but still one of the movies that we would never pass on when the opportunity to watch it came around...And the amazing thing is, that stuck to adulthood. I can pass on childhood favorites like Firewalker and Iron Eagle...but I can't pass on this...I still have to sit down and watch it.

My Second Favorite Anthology (Nightmares 1983 Is My First) ... This Has The Same Feel As The Original TV Series ... I Believe (Could Be Wrong) The First Story Was An Original Script For The Movie (See Notes In Comments) ... The Other Three Stories Were All Remakes From The Original Series ... My Favorite One Is The Second One "Kick The Can" ... An Episode That Proves Not All Twilight Zone Stories Were Full Of Horror ... Some Were Happy And Even Funny ... "Kick The Can" Has (What Is To Me The Happiest Ending I Have Seen In Any Story Or Movie) ... The First Episode "Time Out" Saw The Accidental Death Of Vic Morrow And 2 Child Actors (Myca Dinh Le And Renee Shin-Yi Chen) ... All In All An Excellent Anthology And A Wonderful Tribute To An Old Old TV Show Friend ...**Comment https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twilight_Zone:_The_Movie

Four stories by four directors, Spielberg, Landis, Dante and Miller, a great collection of directors and a neat selection of spooky tales. This is actually a great movie adaptation of the series which doesn't forget its place and go overboard, the stories are remakes from the original series but including one original story.The first tale is about a racist bigot who is somehow transported back and forth through time from Nazi Germany to Vietnam experiencing racism against himself. An obviously strong message of justice or revenge against prejudice in a very simple way. Landis does a reasonable job with the simple tale but its a little uninspired and personally I would of liked a more horror based tale from the master of comedic terror.Tale two from Spielberg is again rather uninspired but you can tell miles off its by Spielberg with its warm glow and gentle heart. A tale of old folk who dream of becoming young again and with the help of a mysterious old man in their retirement home they do just that overnight. Easily the tear jerker of the four, very sweet, very cozy with strong similarities to the Ron Howard movie 'Cocoon', did Howard possibly pinch the idea?Tale three is clearly made by Dante, like tale two you can see the directors style straight away visually and design wise. Trademark Dante finger prints all over this with his fave actor Dick Miller used yet again. A fun and very eerie tale of a boy who can make anything he wishes come true and holds a group of people captive in his bizarre home. Pretending to be his family the small group of people are merely scared of the boy and can never leave fearing the young boy may wish something terrible upon them. Its a spooky tale if you think about it and works very well, parodied by The Simpson's in a 'Treehouse of Terror' episode surely means it deserves respect. The final tale by Miller is a remake of the classic Twilight Zone episode which featured a young William Shatner 'Nightmare at 20,000 Feet', again parodied by 'The Simpson's' earning it even more respect and fame. A terrified airline passenger is driven insane by a combination of the fear of flying and the fact he can see a monster on the wing of the plane ripping apart the engine. Probably the best of the tales with a great concept and cool creature to boot. John Lithgow plays the passenger going insane from fear nerves and anxiety with a performance equal to the original whilst the gremlin looks perfectly kooky and unnerving (Gremlin-ish).Mixed bag of tales really, the two from Dante and Miller being the best, Spielberg's is reasonable but boring and Landis I think picked the wrong type of story to best suit his abilities. Love the bookend sequences with Dan Aykroyd and the overall visual style of the movie from all directors. My only wish is that the film were a tad more mysterious and sinister with its tales, but overall its a solid anthology.7/10

The prologue and first segment are both directed by John Landis. While the prologue is one of the best parts of the film due to how great the dialogue is and the ending, the first segment is an uneven and mediocre part of the film, left unfinished due to a tragic accident on set. The plot of the first segment is similar to two episodes of the show, "A Quality of Mercy" and "Deaths-Head Revisited", and though while the segment does have a very Twilight Zone feel to it, it is obviously unfinished, and thus very flawed.When people say Steven Spielberg makes saccharine films that have no real point, his segment of this film must be what they're referring to. Spielberg is among the greatest directors of all time, but his segment is definitely what I feel is his worst directorial work. Scatman Crothers is good in it, but it just seems like Spielberg was half-asleep when directing this. A shame, because originally Spielberg was planning to direct a far more interesting segment involving a nasty kid being pursued by real monsters on Halloween night.The film definitely picks up a great deal with Joe Dante's segment. A new version of the episode "It's a Good Life", it involves a young schoolteacher dropping off a strange young boy off at his house, and is invited to stay for dinner by the boy and his family, but something's a bit off about the family, and it becomes clear something is seriously wrong with the boy. This segment has great and intentionally cartoonish special effects, with many unnerving and creepy moments.The fourth segment is easily the best, and I feel it's actually better than the episode it's based on, "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet". John Lithgow plays a passenger on an airplane with an extreme fear of flying, and while he at first has it somewhat under control, it soon becomes quite severe when a lightning storm continues to get worse, and worse yet when Lithgow's character seems to be the only one to notice a gremlin tearing apart the wing of the plane. The gremlin causes more damage to the plane, and as the storm gets worse, so does the man's fear. Lithgow's performance is great, and the special effects for the gremlin are excellent, it looks menacing and expressive.Though uneven, this film is definitely good, and should be an enjoyable viewing experience whether or not you're familiar with the TV series.
