So where am I suppose to show up to be whipped for thinking this was really boring

What a tonal rollercoaster! Mouth goes from slapstick water in the face to a Rocky impression to a fat shamer to a bilingual pervert to a map translator to a tongue hostage to a Martha Plimpton hater to a all my dreams are dead penny stealer to a furious accusatory mutineer to a jewel eater to a Martha Plimpton lover. Tough to pinpoint the age group this is aimed at but it's not my seven year old. Not yet.

Having not seen this movie until I was in my 20s, I have no nostalgia connected to it. Taken on its own merits, it's an average '80s kids movie that hasn't aged particularly well. Chunk's cool, though.
4	Luna6ix	81 _77th
I recently rewatched this for the first time in over ten years. I was surprised to find that it didn't quite hold up to my action packed, totally awesome memories. I probably shouldn't have been surprised, but "The Goonies" suffers from a pacing problem and just isn't quite as exhilarating as it should have been, though it is still a very fun adventure movie.
4	spleen	61 _27th
I have to disagree with Cyndi Lauper on this one; the Goonies are not good enough for me.
3	jimmynmu	65 _46th
The pirate ship part is still one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Alot of fun, but it didn't age well.
3	SavageLucy42	99 _96th
I can watch this one over and over, and it's one of the few of my childhood favorites that I still like.
3	gogokain	50 _53rd
If you can take off your nostalgia goggles for five seconds, you'd probably see that this is a not so great film with just few classic moments (everything with Chunk basically) that really aren't enough to save it.
2	ServantDagon	95 _92nd
This is youthful nostalgia speaking more than anything, but they're the goddamn Goonies!
2	jweller	99 _99th
Just about as good as it gets. This is the ultimate youth expedition movie, about a group of young kids who go on a treasure hunt hoping to find a pirates treasure to save their neighborhood. This is an Absolute must see.
2	TheDiceman	55 _49th
Kids classic.
2	oolookitty	10 _7th
If you enjoy watching untalented children shrieking without cease, this is for you.
2	recklessmess	85 _87th
I love how Mikey throws away his inhaler at the end of the movie, as if his Asthma was magically cured...And how Lupe could appraise the value of gemstones that could have been glass.
1	fudgieb	98 _95th
It is as good the 20th time as it was the first. An American classic. Anyone who rates this movie below a 90 deserves to spend some hard time in Guantanimo Bay.
1	TripleSH	89 _88th
One of the few movies I can watch anytime, anywhere, and I still get the same reaction I did when I was a kid. Is it hokey? You bet, but it wouldn't be the Goonies if it took itself seriously.
1	Magb	40 _10th
I'm sure if I'd seen this when I was 11 or so I'd have a fond sense of nostalgia for it, but watching it for the first time as an adult I am thoroughly unimpressed. The kids are annoying and the acting is bad. The comedy is not only unfunny but actively irritating. The adventure story is nothing special. There are some decent set pieces here though, so at least it has that going for it.
1	AgentSnipe	85 _88th
A pure and original adventure through the eyes of a group of kids. There aren't many movies that are made like this.
1	twist15	80 _95th
I...smell...icecream!
1	mcawesome	95 _93rd
One of the greatest adventure films of all time, hands down. This movie embodies everything that is wonderful and true about childhood.
1	Toolvixen	98 _94th
Goonies never say die!
1	cagedwisdom	50 _38th
Unfortunately, unless you're the right age seeing it for the first time, this really isn't all that enjoyable. As well-made as you'd expect for a film off the Spielberg wagon, and the cast is pretty great, but the story failed to engage me at all. Certain dialog feels incredibly inappropriate given the age of the kids.
1	Vince Leo (Qwipster's Movie Reviews)	64 _45th
The Goonies gains momentum from its charm and imagination, making this a popcorn movie favorite, especially for people who love the 80s. [Full Review]
1	drewrocks34	85 _79th
Goonies Never Die!
1	roigroigroig	70 _40th
Overrated.
1	jasonmyers	80 _77th
who wants to do the truffle shuffle?
1	JackPulp	100 _94th
Need i say more

GOONIES NEVER DIE!!
1	Big_Mac	78 _75th
"HEY YOOOOUUU GUUUUUUUYYYYYYYYYS!"....Classic.
1	TedDedon	64 _31st
It's baffling how this has an iconic, classic status amongst children of the 80's. Though it's a good adventure it's not really that good of a movie, and nothing about its remarkable even by the standards for kids. There's nothing bad about The Goonies at all, there's just nothing all that good about it either. Looking back on it it's easy to use rosy tinted goggles, but objectively speaking, it's merely acceptable.
1	MJVmovieMan	95 _98th
The best childhood adventure of all time.
1	frederic_g54	7 _57th
You can tell it's an 80's film because Corey Feldman looks 32 and Ke Huy Quan is an Asian stereotype named Data. Recommended for parents who haven't fucked each other in years.
1	ryang	90 _90th
Loved it...one of those movies that everytime it comes on TV you have to watch it
1	Coffey	90 _97th
The 80's decade can be summarized with a viewing of this movie. Good, cheesy, campy fun.
1	Sombo	90 _74th
Too bad all PG movies these days are PG and feature bi-curious zoo animals.
1	seadog	95 _93rd
Just the best man, you gotta love the goonies!!!!!!
1	Albofett	95 _87th
Classic, truffle shuffle
1	lapierre520	95 _84th
One of my alltime favorties. I was obsessed with this movie growing up.
1	thedo666	94 _95th
Possibly the greatest kids adventure ever made. It's true to say that they don't make them like this anymore, and thats a bad thing - this has enough adventure to keep the kids happy, and a sharp wit to keep adults entertained. And seriously - is there a better physical comedian than the kid who played "Chunk". Watch that performance and tell me that Hollywood didnt miss out on a superstar!
1	nandorizzi	90 _94th
Classic movie of 80's. Great adventure. Which child ever dream about anything so?
1	ktappe	2 _0th
Out of the 2000 films I've seen, this is a very strong contender for the worst. OMG it has so much wrong (anachronisms, plot holes, atrocious acting, incompetent direction, directionless plot) that it's hard to know where to begin. A huge problem is that it's too violent for kids and offers no intelligence for adults. So it has no target audience. The only good thing about the film is Cyndi Lauper's theme song. No matter how many people tell you that you must see this, avoid it at all costs.
1	glitch13	90 _88th
classic
1	runt	90 _78th
Loved it in the 80's, still love it now
1	wcsae	100 _99th
What you doubt to Goonies, what's wrong with you!?!. This is the quintessential 80's film. Correy, truffle shuffle, pirates, chunk. If you don't know this movie you must be Amish.
1	CSSCHNEIDER	98 _94th
One of the greatest family adventure films ever made.
1	drortiz3	95 _93rd
Heeyyy you guyyyysss!!!! Great cult flick.
1	gtown1479	76 _57th
I think it would have helped if I had seen this when I was younger. The attempts of translating Spanish by Feldman were a little funny. An easy watch.
1	critickerkaw	73 _21st
Another of the "I can't believe you didn't see that in the 80s" movies I was introduced to recently. While it was a good idea for a story and parts were funny and well-done (and the scenery was pretty--Pacific Northwest--and it was fun seeing Sean Astin as a kid!) I was not overwhelmingly enthused about the movie as a whole.
1	aenluvsfilm	90 _85th
Classic movie. Enough said.
1	Maya	85 _97th
Classic, never get tired of it.
1	houseofjesua	100 _96th
this is one of the best films of all time! there is very little else that beats this.
1	kendramiller	100 _95th
very very good movie
1	ImThatDingo	98 _97th
Classic.
1	cult_of_same	70 _86th
If I were smooth enough to break into Pirates of the Caribbean ride after the park was closed- I would so reinact this movie with friends.
1	PirateKitty	92 _87th
I loved this movie as a kid! I love this now! Great adventure movie, what kid doesn't want to find pirate treasure and safe the day!
1	Melvin Smif	50 _54th
I never really thought of this film as anything special, and then it became a pop culture icon and I resented the fact that it was ever made. The movie is alright though.
1	keybetolock	5 _4th
GOD I hate this movie. Although I still chuckle at "One-Eyed Willie"...
1	RottenTomato	63 _31st
An energetic, sometimes noisy mix of Speilbergian sentiment and funhouse tricks that will appeal to kids and nostalgic adults alike.
1	AtGiza	47 _33rd
Guess I was too old to appreciate this sort of thing.
1	Grinspork	80 _84th
As a child I thought I could have an adventure like that.
1	Bown	66 _20th
It’s so weird that there’s this subset of 80s movies where people of a certain age are like “yes! one of the best movies of all time! truly a perfect movie!” and everyone else is just like “wh…..what the fuck are you talking about dude”
1	DavidBlast	75 _72nd
Positives: -"Wait. We can't take these!" -"Why?" -"Because they're somebody elses wishes. Somebody elses dreams!" -"Well you know what? This one. This one right here, this was my wish. My dream... and it didn't come true. So I am taking them back. I'm taking them all back." Negatives: Just not sure they should've named the pirate One-eyed Willie...
1	Talyn Golic	85 _76th
A brilliant adventure movie filled with great humour and exciting action sequences, Indiana Jones for kids essentially. There are some mis-steps here and there but the acting is decent from the child actors and the script moves along crisply. It's also extremely 80's in execution, there are some things in here that probably wouldn't pass in a modern kids movie. While nostalgia certainly helps, Goonies is still a fun kids adventure movie that's enjoyable for adults too.
1	bentien	42 _19th
A terrible and annoying mess of a movie. I really don't understand why this is considered a classic beside the fact that Spielberg produced/wrote the screenplay...
1	hardcoreufo	72 _47th
It doesn't quite have the same magic as it did when I was a kid, but it still holds up reasonably well. I really wish the kids didn't shout so much though, it's exhausting. Get off my lawn etc.
1	stuie299	85 _76th
Its by no means a perfect movie, but its sure got a lot of heart. Its just one of those films that perfectly captures the essence of what its like to be a kid. Its also very 80's in all the right ways. Being made with today's CGI laden filmmaking would have ruined it from the start.
1	brandons	75 _61st
An energetic, sometimes noisy mix of Speilbergian sentiment and funhouse tricks that will appeal to kids and nostalgic adults alike.
1	TBW	30 _5th
The most annoying and awful Spielberg film ever
1	edward	0 _5th
I hate Spielberg. This is one of his worst. There is absolutely nothing redeeming about his obnoxious, formulaic bullshit.
