I guess I am the only person on earth who thought that movie was awful.

Never watched it but from what I read it sounds like the script has been used many many times ,LOL

I’ve always loved that movie. But we got mad when they changed the LEO’s guns to walkie-talkies...

I left the theater 37 years ago gobsmacked. A being comes to Earth, is feared and persecuted by the authorities, is loved and accepted by the children, performs miracles pf healing, and is finally captured and put to death. After a period, he is resurrected and ascends into the heavens.

The babblemutts were waxing ecstatic over the film’s originality and creativity. I was thinking what a transparent
ripoff I had just witnessed.

You didn't think it was awful.
It was awful.

“I guess I am the only person on earth who thought that movie was awful.’

Heh. I like it when I saw it, but it was vastly overrated.

On the other hand, I’m halfway through another Spielberg film that I saw when it was released, and am very much enjoying again 34 years later: Back to the Future.
