Summary: E.T. Phone Home!
Review: E.T.... I remember my first encounter with this little alien. I was two years old at the time and I was at Universal Studios Florida and my mom took me on E.T. Adventure. After the ride, I was scared to death by any sight of E.T. But, finally in the year 2002, I mustured up my strength and saw E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial:The 20th Anniversery...And I was awe-stircken, dazzled, razzled, and nervous when I saw one of the best movies ever made. I couldn't get enough of the little thing, I got the Pez and everything! The plot is entrancing, the actors belivability was incredible throughout the entire film. I'm surprised they didn't go off to do bigger and better and things in their life(excluding Drew Barrymore). Thanks to Steven Speilberg, his creation became an enormous masterpiece that most of the world could enjoy anywhere and anytime.My grade:A+ because of the phenominal acting, the irrestibal alien character, the extraordinray director, and a grat script! Little known fact: Original working title for E.T. was A Boy's Life(Don't ask me why).

Summary: The best movie of 1982
Review: This is truly a wonderful and beautiful work of cinema from genius Steven Spielburg, this became one of the most inspiring and most important movies in history making it number#3 at the Box-Office. It is about a boy ( Henry Thomas) who befriends an Alien that was stranded on Earth now must bring him back to his home planet. This is truly a touching and magical film experience, perhaps the best family movie of 1982 next to " The Dark Crystal", " The Last Unicorn" and " Secret of NIMH". Own it on DVD.

Summary: Botched Up DVD Job
Review: The movie itself is above average and quite entertaining for young children, but this dvd package is outragous and full of gimmicks, not to mention that it's the only way to own the original E.T. Universal really messed up this time.

Summary: The worst sort of ploy
Review: OK, I have no real problem with a director changing a movie and doing silly things like changing walkie talkies into cellphones and inserting newe incredibly obvious CGI versions of E.T. into the movie. Whatever. I didn't go see the movie because I wanted to see the original. Now the only way to see the original is to buy this rather idiotic {price] "Gift Set" which comes with a bunch of stuff I don't need. There's no option to just buy the original version. The ONLY WAY to see the original version of this movie, THE WAY THE MOVIE WAS MADE is to drop [price] into the lap of Universal. But wait it gets worse... At [price] you expect some extra features, right? Wrong! Sort of. The only real features (trailer, deleted scenes) aren't even available on the DVD. No, you need both the DVD *AND* a new expensive computer with a DVD-ROM drive *AND* a fast internet connection to see the scenes quickly *AND* it better not be a Mac. And you know that online content will only be around for a few months before the website changes and that will no longer be available. And finally, let's hope you're not a sound buff. The original version, eventhough it was filmed with 6 discrete sound tracks isn't even going to have surround sound --- eventhough it had it in the theatres!!! Thanks but no thanks. I won't spend a dime until this is all fixed.

Summary: It belongs in the STAR WARS/STAR TREK genre.
Review: George Lucas and Gene Roddenberry gave us possitive/well thoughtful Science Fiction/Fantasy, then Steven Spielberg gave it a touch of humanity with his movies, ET together with Close Encounters of the Thrid Kind and the two Jurassic Park movies. ET here is full of humanity, a sense of wonder, and a child's sense of looking at the universe through innocent eyes. These are the themes expressed in ET, and I can't wait to add the DVD of this movie to my film collection. ET Phone Home, May The Force Be With You, and Live Long And Prosper.

Summary: finally!!
Review: i was very disapointed when i know that this classic movies started to follow STARWARS' foot step and re-releasing the special edition with new digital scenes.
and i was going to ignore this re-release of this DVD and stick with my older version i have on VHS. it is nonsense to change thing that is already great!
but the "1982 version" that is included in this DVD is what change everything. this is a definite must have for a fan of this movie. Finally, someone at universal did the right thing!

Summary: Schlockberg, all rights reserved
Review: This movie intellectual level doesn't surpass the one of a third grader. Characters are all one dimensional. Scripting is higly predictable and filled with clichees. As about all S. movies, this also preaches its number of PC "valueable lessons". The most common: accept and sustain difference (aliens vs. humans or humans vs. humans). What a repugnant propagandistic piece of ....

Summary: E.T. is one of the BEST MOVIES EVER made.
Review: I first saw E.T. back in 1982 right before I turned 6 years old so I could barely remember the movie. Back then I did however have the official book which came with a record that was told by the very young Drew Barrymore. I used to just let my imagination run wild as i listed to the record and read the book with it. When I went to see this movie earlier today by myself I have to say once again I was so blown away. Even though E.T. was on video and on TV I had not seen it since I was a little kid 20 years ago. Watching it at the theater was one of the most amazing movie experiences of my life, cause it was as if I had never seen it and it brought out that little kid in me again. I remember back when this movie first came out in 1982 I had to have my E.T. cereal LOL. When Elliot and E.T. both got sick I have to say I had tears coming down my eyes and that happened more than once during the movie and Im a 25 year old guy, but this just touched me again and made me feel like I was the one loosing my new found best friend. I don't want to ramble but I just want to say if you saw this movie when you were a kid check it out again because I waited 20 years before seeing this movie again and it was truly the BEST Movie Experience of my life tears and all. When E.T. comes out on DVD I will be including it in my DVD collection, because it is one of the BEST MOVIES EVER MADE. Special thanks to the director Steven Spielberg for bringing E.T. back to us 20 years later and allowing me and the new generation in 2002 to feel like a care free kid again, even if for only 2 hours and 15 minutes it was well worth it.

Summary: Buy the gift box instead of the collectors series.
Review: For those of you out there who think the collectors edition is worth buying because thid gift box costs too much dont.This version has the 1982 version which is not on the collectors series,keep in mind the 1982 version has the scene when e.t. and elliot on on the bicycle and about to fly away and the agents are pointing guns at them,well in the 2002 version spielberg removed them and placed walkie talkies.Also this version has the original screenplay,and collectible senitype.So dont settle for the 2 disc version buy this one instead.

Summary: Can I rate 2,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars?
Review: I LOVE this movie. Hi, I'm E.T., the star of the BEST movie of all time. I love every minute of this timeless classic. Nothing is bad about this film. Every second of the movie is a masterpiece. HOME...it is perfect. Every word any character says is wonderfull. Steven Spielberger is a genius. Only he could make such a GREAT film. Of course, he couldn't have done it without ME! I am perfect. HOME! While watching the re-release of this beautiful movie, I was laughing, crying and admireing myself. I am SOOOOOOOOO cute...I tried to kiss myself on the screen, but I couldn't reach it...until I remembered I can extend my lovely neck. But when I did that, people were yelling "GET OUT OF THE WAY, E.T.". Anyway, HOME, I love this movie...E.T. remains the greatest movie of all time. Let's talk about some of the best things (but I can't list them all). 1: E.T. I am soooooooooooooooo cute. I am a cutie pie. I am lovable. And I have a cool finger that lights up, too. 2: The story. It never has a dull moment. It is always entertaining. 3: Eliot. He might not be as cute as me, (let's face it...NO ONE is as cute as me!) but he is a great character. You feel for this boy. I was crying throghout the film. 4: $$$$$MONEY! E.T. MADE LOTS OF MONEY!...5: I have a cool space ship. 6: The climax is very intense. It is the best climax ever filmed. It has you on the edge of your seat, worried about cute me. HOME! 7: It is so amazing when I say "E.T. PHONE HOME!". That is timeless. 8: It is so heartbreaking when I can't phone home. 9: The good byes at the end are so real. You can't help but cry...I strongly advise you to see this movie as many times as possible if it is playing in your theater. If it isn't, buy 90 copies of the video, and 900 of the DVD. Gotta go HOME now!
