The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Yash Wade
Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

This film still holds up after all these years.A group of misfit kids set out to find a pirate's buried treasure in order to save their homes from being turned into a golf course. What follows is like an Indiana Jones adventure for tween boys. To make matters worse they are being pursued by the criminal Fratelli family who also want the treasure.What will happen? Will the kids survive, find the treasure or meet their end at the hands of the Fratellis?This movie does not disappoint. Nostalgia for those that have seen it before. Fantastic Fun. Worth repeated viewings!

That one quote rings most perfect to this movie. It doesn't matter how old it is, or how old you are watching this movie, it's timeless and ageless. This really brings back the magic of childhood with its sense of wonder. The Goonies themselves are all memorable in one way shape or form. Sean Astin definitely deserved an award for this role as the de facto leader of the group, but you've got to hand it to Jeff Cohen (Chunk) for his acting ability. In fact he steals half the show with his antics (long live the Truffle Shuffle!). I love the traps the group encounters as they're all creative, my personal favorite is the bone piano; you certainly don't see that everyday. But the ending is just great when you find out hope is restored when Rosalita finds the gems to save the homes that Mikey stashed in his bag. I end this review with this quote: "Hey you guys!"

'The Goonies' is one of those films that everybody has seen at least once in their lifetime and is something of a guilty pleasure for many. It's a rarity in that, although it's a kids film through and through, it goes down just as well (if not better) with adults.As someone who was born after 'The Goonies' was released, I don't have the same fond memories of this film as others who grew up with it do. For me, it's an imaginative and enjoyable family adventure, but not the 'classic' that it is to others. 'The Goonies' has some great individual moments and scenes but as a whole, I think there are better kids adventure films out there.

I don't think I knew a single kid when I was little that didn't have Goonies as one of their favorite movies and I am fairly certain that, today, the adults my age--of the male persuasion--that don't still feel the same are the people that have no since of fun, take everything too seriously, and turn their noses up at the Sabatini collection in their local library.I used to want to live here when I was little. I mean, not only could I be one of the Goonies, but Arnold Schwarzenegger would be my Kindergarten teacher, I could meet Johnny-5, and give a home to Benji.Astoria was a magic place where all your childhood fantasies came true.Especially The Goonies. It was the adventure high of a childhood filled with adventure movies, cartoons, comics, and eventually books.Pirate Treasure, a kid with inventions, bad guys, close friends, a pirate ship, all in the same town that has Kindergarten Cops and robots with lazers.It is literally every kids dream...and unfortunately, like the Ghostbusters, one that will be killed in a remake.DO NOT REMAKE THIS MOVIE. If you want to make money from it, re-release it. DO NOT REMAKE THIS FILM.
