Audience Reviews for The Goonies

  • Jun 12, 2017
    A movie I have never seen until this weekend. Spielberg uses his magic to create a Indiana Jones type adventure featuring talented young actors who most have gone on to bigger and better things. It is well acted and written but can be too noisy that it distracts. I laughed and was thrilled at the same time. A great oldie but goodie for family viewing. 06-12-2017

    What it lacks in script, it more than makes up for in grand, perilous structure and heartwarming adventure. The Goonies is a classical combustion of laughter, discovery and booty (I mean, booby) traps. The cast and sequences are just as memorable and dynamic as its storytellers in Spielberg, Donner & Columbus. 4/5

    The Goonies is very nostalgic, fun and filled with a lot of adventure! A great film to enjoy with family and friends!

    Typical Spielberg influences and something of a definite Indiana Jones vibe. This is one cult film I have only just seen the first time. I enjoyed it. It has that eighties magic that films now lack and is a good example of friendship.
