The GooniesThe energy and chemistry among the characters is the strength of this genuine feature that even though has its heart in the right place fails completely on managing to keep the plot on track. Richard Donner needed to work a bit harder on projecting the anticipated vision on screen that is originally written by Chris Columbus and Steven Speilberg. Steve Austin and Josh Brolin are convincing on their parts but the real gem moments are when the group shares it as their mundane conversations. The Goonies is written with high hopes that needed a better editing and detailing on script along with better execution to create the anticipated impact on screen.

I grew up in the ninties and so I could've easily seen The Goonies when I was a kid, but for whatever reason (maybe the language) I never did.I watched The Goonies for the first time in my life this year as a young adult and despite the fact that I was watching through 2017 eyes, I was instantly brought back to my childhood. As if I knew the characters in this movie when I was a kid. As if I had seen the movie countless times as a kid.The Goonies is such a wonderful mixture of fantasy, adventure, wonder, excitement, exploration, and humor; combined with the classic Spielberg style, it's a film that makes a lasting impact and leaves you wanting more.Since watching the film, I've been looking for others like it, but to no avail. No number of "movies like the goonies" Google searches seems to be enough. I've been left to conclude, at least for the time being, that The Goonies is unmatched in the authentic mid-1980s adventure that it embodies.

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!"
