The Goonies Ratings & Reviews
- ርልዪረJanuary 26, 2025If you like Indiana Jones, then how's about an adventure with a group of kids, that go out searching for gold treasure? This movie has some seriousness and laughter. Let your imagination run wild and enjoy this movie!
- Scott PhelpsDecember 10, 2025Goonies never say die!
- Alexneth423January 28, 2026Dont think this has aged well.
- CubaneJanuary 21, 2026Without the heavy influence of nostalgia I don't really get the hype here. It wasn't so much a coming of age experience as it was a bemusing trip through various areas in the LA studio zone, some studio backlots, and soundstages. I found myself frequently comparing this to Stand by Me, which I think is the better film.
- Manuel FrangisMarch 26, 2025I just watched The Goonies again and I give it 5 out of 5 stars. This movie is pure adventure magic. It is one of those timeless classics that still holds up no matter how old you are. Whether you are watching it for the first time or the tenth, it captures that feeling of childhood wonder, friendship, and discovery in a way that very few movies ever do. The story follows a group of kids who call themselves the Goonies, and they set out on one last adventure before their homes are taken away by developers. When they find an old pirate map in the attic, it leads them into a wild underground treasure hunt filled with traps, tunnels, and secrets. It is part treasure hunt, part coming-of-age story, and it balances both perfectly. Each of the characters stands out in their own way. You have Mikey, the brave leader with a heart full of hope. Mouth is the fast-talking wise guy. Data is the gadget genius with all his homemade inventions. Chunk is the clumsy, lovable goofball who steals half the scenes with his reactions. And the rest of the group brings their own unique energy too. You totally believe these kids are real friends, and their chemistry is a huge part of what makes the movie work. The adventure is nonstop. From the moment they set off to find the treasure, the movie never slows down. There are hidden passageways, booby traps, secret codes, and even a pirate ship. Every scene is packed with something new and exciting. The pacing is perfect, and it keeps you hooked from start to finish. The villains, the Fratellis, are hilarious and just the right amount of scary for a kid’s adventure movie. They are criminals chasing the kids through the tunnels, and while they are threatening, they are also totally ridiculous in a way that makes the whole movie even more fun. Their banter and the way they get outsmarted over and over again adds a ton of laughs. The sets and atmosphere are amazing. The underground caverns, the water slides, the skeletons, the ship—it all looks incredible even now. There is something magical about how real everything feels. It is like you are right there with the Goonies, crawling through tight spaces and discovering lost history one clue at a time. The soundtrack and score fit the tone perfectly. There is just the right mix of 80s energy and epic adventure music to keep you in the moment. The theme sticks in your head, and it makes the big moments feel even more exciting. The heart of the movie is the friendship between the Goonies. It is about sticking together, not giving up, and believing in something bigger. You feel their bond and you root for them every step of the way. It is funny, emotional, and full of that childhood magic that makes you wish you had an adventure like this too. I give The Goonies 5 out of 5 stars because it is one of those rare movies that gets everything right. It is fun, exciting, emotional, and packed with personality from start to finish. It has action, laughs, and heart, and it still hits just as hard today as it did when it first came out. Overall The Goonies is a legendary adventure movie that never gets old and deserves every bit of love it gets. I loved it as a kid and still love it now. Goonies never say die.
- ZokkiieDecember 27, 2025This is movie is a total throwback and still a really fun watch. It’s got nonstop adventure, a great group of kids, and that classic 80s vibe where everything feels big and exciting. The humor is goofy, the treasure hunt keeps things moving, and the friendships are what really make it work. Some moments feel a little dated, but the charm and energy more than make up for it. Definitely a feel-good adventure worth revisiting
- flavo43December 19, 2025The Goonies (1985) remains one of my favourite childhood films, a wildly energetic adventure driven by its charming, youthful cast. The story follows a group of kids racing to save their town from greedy developers and bumbling criminals by uncovering a long‑lost pirate treasure. It’s extremely silly and unapologetically fun—but that’s entirely the point. The film leans into its chaotic spirit with enthusiasm, creating a sense of discovery that feels tailor‑made for a coming‑of‑age tale. Packed with practical effects, elaborate sets, and memorable traps, it captures the tactile, handmade magic of 80s filmmaking. Each character brings something unique to the group dynamic, and their camaraderie gives the story real heart beneath the jokes and danger. The Goonies is a perfect blend of adventure, humour, and childhood wonder, and its timeless sense of play keeps it endlessly rewatchable.

- RichardAugust 3, 2025This is childhood adventure at its absolute peak. A group of misfit kids from Astoria: Mikey, Mouth, Data, Chunk and the gang, stumble upon a centuries old treasure map and set off to find the legendary loot of One Eyed Willy. Developers are threatening to demolish their homes, so it’s one last wild ride through booby traps, skeleton caves and the criminally ridiculous Fratelli family. Watching it again in glorious 4K, it still hits like it did in the cinema. The sets are tactile, the pacing is perfect and the cast? Iconic. Each kid brings their own quirks and the group dynamic feels hilariously real. You believe these kids are friends and you want to be one of them. The villains are just scary enough for kids, but their slapstick antics keep the tone light. The pirate ship reveal? Still magical. And the themes, friendship, bravery, believing in something bigger, land harder than most modern blockbusters. The Goonies isn’t just a movie, it’s a rite of passage. It captures the thrill of childhood exploration, the bonds of friendship and the magic of believing in treasure maps and pirate legends. Whether you're watching it for the first time or the fiftieth, it still delivers joy, laughs and adventure.
