It dawned on me halfway through the movie that films like Goonies and E.T. are a lost art. Fortunately, Abrams and Spielberg team up to create a hybrid of both. The movie is told through the eyes of childhood friends. The dialogue is fun and funny. JJ borrows the few good parts from Cloverfield to keep the audience in suspense. I won’t go so far as to say this is a childhood classic, but it’s certainly refreshing to see someone headed in that direction for a change. I had to suffer through previews for The Zookeeper and Mr. Poppers Penguins. It was like a hobo crapping in my eyes.
