Ah, kids adventure films, how fondly we remember.

In an effort to ward off property developers and save the Walsh's from having to move away. Mikey Walsh, Brand Walsh and their intrepid friends, set off to look for pirate treasure they believe exists after the discovery of a dust covered map.

Fun fun fun! Treasure, pirates, booby traps, crooks, weird cellar dwelling humans, water slides, wishing wells and budding teenager romances, The Goonies has it all. 

Directed by Richard Donner and written by Steven Spielberg and Christopher Columbus, The Goonies is one of those rare animals that thrills the children and bewitches the adults in equal measure. Romping along at a fair old click, the film never stops to pause for breath, thus dragging the viewers along for the ride. 

There is no expense spared with the production (the sets are delightful) and the cast are mostly engaging. There's some minor annoyances, such as the girls being adventure caricatures, but itches are easy to scratch if you have engaged from the off with its fantastical charms.

It's a film that once loved in childhood should hopefully stay far beyond into your adult years. A junior Raiders Of The Lost Ark perhaps? Maybe not, but still one wholly satisfying action adventure experience, one that's standing the test of time for many of us with our fondly nostalgic glasses perched delicately on the end of the nose. 8/10

Such a classic!

Glad they shown this at the cinema when it reopened - it looked amazing in the big screen!

Second time seeing this and while it's not quite the classic in my book, still a fun family-adventure flick with some nice production design and a nice cast along with some great talent behind the camera with Spielberg producing (and story), Chris Columbus's script and Richard Donner directing. Added bonus for me being an Oregonian and this filmed in Astoria. **3.5/5**

I tried, I really did - but I didn't really like this. There are just far too many screeching, cacophonous, kids all talking over each other and after about twenty minutes I'd had about enough. It does get marginally better though, as these brats discover an ancient treasure map and have to compete with the menacing "Mama Fratelli" (Anne Ramsey) for the spoils. Robert Davi ("Jake") provides an additional slice of menace that could've been more effective had he been able to reduce the number of urchins a bit more effectively (indeed, a well placed rapier thrust could have belatedly rewarded us for the annoyance of "Short Round" from last year's "Temple of Doom"!). Sadly, their number is maintained to annoy and frustrate the much more capable grown ups throughout this increasingly predicable and slap-stick two-hour comedy drama. It has all the hallmarks of a Spielberg production and Richard Donner, to be fair, does up the ante as more action and less chatter starts to creep into the second half. The special effects are also quite effective and there is the odd comedy reference for those adults amongst us, but I just didn't get why this is so highly rated. It reminded me a little of the old-style Disney "Witch Mountain" films - but I think this is likely a film that will induce fond memories of childhood for those who still appreciate it now, I don't have those and so I didn't.

A movie that marked one generation, of course most of the post-90's generations won't see the worth on it. But for the 80´s afternoon movies it was perfect.

Well done as most of Spielberg's movie are joined with a fantasy story with a bunch of kids like many other classics of that generation (Neverending Story Flight Of The Navigator, Back to the Future for example) that we don't see anymore. 

The music of the music was a hit on that era and it generated a lot of videogames  based on it. It is the sort of movie that kids around 10 would enjoy even to this day, as a family-friendly classic.

We have this sort of movies nowadays but their quality don't match of those era - maybe by the lack of a better director and writer, is most cases - I can even compare it to the earlier Harry Potter movies of the 90´s, were the naive and childhood adventures enjoyed the crowds. 

Even not being my favorite of the bunch still regard it as a 7,5 out of 10,0 / B+.

"The Goonies" kicks off strong with a great first act that really captures the energy of being a kid in the '80s.

It’s fun watching the group of teens hanging out, pranking each other, and getting into all kinds of creative mischief around the house. It’s a bit of a throwback to when kids actually spent time together in person, unlike today, where everyone’s glued to a screen. The story flows perfectly from one act to the next, thanks to Richard Donner’s solid directing. He’s known for classics like Superman, Lethal Weapon, and The Omen, so no surprise he nailed it here too.

Overall, this is a perfect pick for family movie night.
