Stresses the importance of family

80s-tastic

The power glove, it's so bad.

  I agree with your assessment of the powerglove although I'm not sure the movie deserves a 9/10. I was I think 5 when I saw it last though so I can't give a definitive answer.

    How old are you when you saw it? I feel this is a case where I definitely have them nostalgia goggles on. Call me crazy but I believe the simplicity of the film is just fantastic.

      I guess I was past the target demo of the movie by the time it came out. I was disappointed that the movie didn't have more video game stuff in it. I don't remember thinking it was a great movie, maybe just okay.
