The Goonies is a 1985 adventure comedy film. The movie was produced by Amblin Entertainment and distributed by Warner Bros. The Goonies was written by Christ Columbus and directed by Richard Donner.
The story is two brothers named Mikey and Brandon Walsh are preparing to move because the developers want to expand their country club. During their final weekend with their fellow friends they discover an ancient map, with this map they plan to find the hidden treasure and save their house from being foreclosed.
My Thoughts
One thing to love about The Goonies is the humor. I was laughing from beginning to middle to end with this movie. My favorites were obviously the Truffle Shuffle, the Chunk confession scene, and Mouth translating Spanish to the new maid. Those were pretty funny.
Another aspect of the film that makes it such a classic is the sense of adventure. That's what you always get whenever you watch this movie. It doesn't matter how many times you've seen you still get that feeling.
The other detail of The Goonies that makes it great is the likable characters. There was not one character that I hated in this movie, hell even the criminals (the Fratelli family) you'll come to love. You'll even pick out who's your favorite, mine is Mouth.
What also made the film a classic was the soundtrack. It's adventurous, can be a little dark at times, emotional, and overall it's just good. Two thumbs up to Dave Grusin.
Another wonderful thing about the movie is the acting. And I'm not picking a favorite performance likely I usually do because honestly I think everyone did a fantastic job so I think picking which one is best would be pointless.
The final piece of The Goonies I'll give credit to is the special effects, mainly the practical effects. The practical effects are just great there's nothing to complain about. Now there are two moments that aren't very good. The first one was when Mikey held up the doubloon to the landmarks. It's a really off putting shot because the background looks like it was added in later. The other moment was the last shot with One-Eyed Willy's ship (Inferno). It looks like a cartoon was just inserted to an actual shot of the ocean. But other than those two shots the rest of the special effects are great.
The Goonies is definitely one of the many great films that were made during the 80's. It has a great sense of humor, an even greater sense of adventure, wonderful characters, an amazing score, great performances from the cast, and for the most part awesome special effects.
My final rating is A Must Watch
Alright guys that's going to do it for me. Come back on Monday, Jan 13th for a brand new What You Probably Didn't Know About. The movie for that segment will be 2002's Spider-Man. Until then enjoy the rest of your day.
