  • Critics' reviews (5) of The Goonies

  • 3 stars out of 5

    Before making it big directing Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone, Chris Columbus wrote the screenplay from a story by a certain Steven Spielberg for this good-natured romp, in which a gang of children tackles pirates while searching for a hoard of missing treasure. The tale rattles along like a juvenile Raiders of the Lost Ark and the young leads — including Martha Plimpton, Sean Astin and Corey Feldman — are a likeable bunch. There's also some nice hamming from villains Anne Ramsey, Joe Pantoliano and Robert Davi.

  • The bottomless pit of the Spielberg genre, a silly tale which takes forever to get going and is acted by children who have not studied elocution. The trick effects when they come are OK, but it's a long annoying haul to that point.

    Rated - 5 stars [Highly rated reviewer]

    superb family film

    The Goonies are a crazy bunch of misfit kids, whose only hope of saving their neighbourhood from greedy developers who want to use the area to build a new golf course, is to find the lost treasure of a 17th Century pirate. With only a dusty map and their spirit of adventure they set off.

    this is a very exciting film, that my 9 year old daughter loved. well worth renting out.

    Rated - 5 stars

    Hey you guys, watch this movie.

    I wont go into much detail about the story because personally I hate spoilers no matter how small. All you need to know is that this film is a world class adventure movie. It rates 3rd in my all time favourite movies, mainly because I first watched it at about the age of 8 and I came out of the pictures mesmerised. It still gets repeated viewing now.

    Excellent directing by Donner of a brilliant Spielberg story that is a thrilling non stop rides packed with laughs. Whoever was responsible for casting also needs a huge pat on the back, the child actors in this movie provide flawless performances and suite each character impeccably.

    As you?ve probably noticed I?ve nothing but praise for this film. Best still any generation can enjoy all the levels of the film so it is perfect family entertainment. 5 stars.

The sci-fi movie was followed in second place by the Harry Potter films, the next instalment of which is due out later this year with an all-star cast including Ralph Fiennes, Robbie Coltrane, Gary Oldman and Alan Rickman.
