REVIEWS:

"E.T....may become a children's classic of the space age.
The film...freely recycles elements from all sorts of earlier
children's works, including 'Peter Pan' and 'The Wizard of Oz.'
'E.T.' is as contemporary as laser-beam technology, but it's full of
the timeless longings expressed in children's literature of all eras."

-- Excerpt from The New York Times; June 11, 1982

ROGER EBERT'S 1992 REVIEW:

ROGER EBERT'S 2002 REVIEW:

"This movie made my heart glad. It is filled with innocence, hope,
and good cheer. It is also wickedly funny and exciting as hell.
'E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial' is a movie like 'The Wizard of Oz,'
that you can grow up with and grow old with,
and it won't let you down."

-- Roger Ebert; March 22, 2002
