Prime example of a film you have to watch as a kid


Annoying as hell trying to watch it as an adult with the kids yelling at the top of their lungs every 5 seconds

This is so accurate. Loved it as a kid, remembered it fondly as "one of my favorite movies!"
Yeeaahhhh noo...
Watched it last year again and realized... well, exactly what you said!

I'd have to agree. I didn't watch it as a kid, only seeing it for the first time well into my 20s and I remember thinking "That's it? The legendary Goonies?". The 7.7 rating on IMDb is very flattering and in my opinion largely due to nostalgic bias. Many people watched this as a kid, loved it and carry that fuzzy feeling with them. It's not an awful movie by any means but it's by design a silly little movie intended for children which doesn't offer much to an adult watching it for the first time.
