Pros Dreyfuss, great special effects, quite scary at moments, imaginative
Cons Pretty long...and feels like it, Roy is a character with low-morality
Bottom Line This still stands the test of time--though I don't know why I didn't think this was slow when I was a kid.

Pros Acting, musical score, special effects, story.
Cons None, in my opinion.
Bottom Line This movie, as far as I'm concerned, does everything right. A good story, with heart, told well.
 
Pros A fine and believable script, good acting, beautiful visuals, great score by John Williams
Cons In my opinion, none.
Bottom Line Even though I am a Star Wars fan and prefer action adventure to "serious" science fiction films, CE3K is one of the best films Spielberg has made. Don't miss it!
