i be in first grade when i saw it for my birthday and i remember like it then . i think it be funny and scary and full of action . but i be grow up now and it really strike a cord in me for some reason . it felt like a whole new movie with so much emotion . yes and it a great kid movie but i can not explain why it more emotional a an adult and spielberg get some genuine performance out of everyone and the only thing that felt familiar be the amazing john williams score . i remember all the melody somehow . a for the story and you really feel that there lot at stake and sure there may be plot hole or whatever but i do not care and this movie be a brave new re imagining of the legend . also dustin hoffman be still as intimidate a i remember him . in one scene he have this hilarious dramatic plea for attention where he pretend that he go to commit suicide . i do not understand it 18 year ago but it sure a hell be funny now . this movie be so worth watch if youre look for a family movie and have kid of your own now .
