- 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.

  A must-see film for all film fans
  
  Seen it so many times, but it never gets old. A true Hollywood classic, and the perfect family film. A must-watch.

  Kids film, not for adults!
  
  If your children are under 14 then they'll probably enjoy some kiddy-humour moments, but don't expect much as an adult!
