Annoying as hell trying to watch it as an adult with the kids yelling at the top of their lungs every 5 seconds
shareI love it but I feel its a bit long at close to 2 hours for what it is. I enjoyed it more as a kid but its still a really good movie. Just wish it was cut a little shorter.
shareI agree. It was a little long in the tooth at almost 2 hrs. 15 minutes shaved off it would've helped, especially during the slower middle scenes. But still a great movie overall.
shareI feel this has aged poorly, out of the major 80s classics. Just as you said, it has a very specific juvenile tone that makes it feel like a kids movie more than ET, back to the future, karate kid, etc... It's not as enjoyable as an adult.
shareThis movie was released when I was thirty-one, and I didn't see it until I was sixty-eight. I found the continuous chasing, fighting, and yelling quite tiresome. I think I might have liked it when I was eight to twelve years old.
shareI was 28 when I first saw this movie, when it was released. I loved the movie then and still do. You don't have to be a kid.

it is better when you are kid, yes.
however, a good story is a good story! no matter the age you are when you first see.
goonies has magical tone. i cannot describe. it capture something special like many film in 80s.
Very true that the yelling is annoying. But I have to say thst it has quite some macabre moments and adult humour for a kids movie.
I enjoyed the movie as a kid, but as an adult I'm mostly bothered by the annoying and pointless Chunk/Sloth storyline, the weird morals and some awful sentimental moments.
