Very disappointed :(

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Like Classic The Day The Earth Stood Still 1951, Starman 1984 provides Humanity with some Hope of a reasonable Future, Equality, No Wars, Long Lives, No Greed, No Diseases nor Sickness.+The 1977 Voyager 2 space probe; Intelligent Life Invited to Earth.+U.S. Air Force shoots down friendly Starman Alien Spacecraft +Starman creates Jenny's deceased husband from a strand of hair. 1984 this idea of Cloning was ahead of those times. +Starman resurrected a dead deer. +U.S. Government pursues Starman and Jenny.+Jenny critically shot, Starman heals Jenny. +Starman uses force field to protect Jenny. +Jenny is infertile. Starman makes her fertile again.+Jenny and Starman's "Son will possess all of the Starman's knowledge". Does this automatically make Starman's Son (Main Character of Stan Lee's Guardians of the Galaxy 2) Evil since birth (and therefore no Main Character of Stan Lee's Guardians of the Galaxy). +NSA ordered Army to capture Starman Dead or Alive, for Starman to be cut apart (dissected). NASA's SETI Scientist Sherman then helps Starman to evade Capture. +At anytime Starman with his Advanced Technology could have wiped out his Enemies.

Starman (1984) A re-watch and almost as good as the first time. I like the concept of the "alien and the lady" and him having to learn to operate in a human skin.New to noticing plot holes and goofs and was a little distracted by them but not too much to enjoy the film. The insistent mispronunciation of Chequamegon (Shih-WAH-muh-gone) National Forest as "She-mogg-wahn." was a biggie. They also took a very odd route from northern Wisconsin to Arizona. But we're starting to get picky now.All in all an enjoyable film with a good romance in a sci-fi / fantasy film.

A morality tale with a definite Spielbergian touch. Jeff Bridges is an alien who assume the form of Karen Allen's late husband. Bridges has been brought down by accident from his UFO and must be picked up by the mother ship at Crater National Monument in Arizona. The problem is that he's crash landed somewhere in Wisconsin, so he must more or less kidnap Allen and have her accompany him to the rendezvous site, with the police and the U. S. Army hot on their trail.As a kind of extraterrestrial anthropologist, Bridges must learn the speech and customs of his host country little by little. This leads to the expected but amusing sequences of his learning how to eat in a diner, how to give someone the finger, how to punch back when he's hit, and so forth.Of course Bridges comes to acquire all "the feelings" of her late husband's body, the one he's appropriated, and -- well, I guess I don't have to draw you a picture of what happens after that.It's a feel-good movie with lots of smiles and warmth. The holes in the plot may be the size of the crater in Crater National Monument but who cares? Majestic organ chords strike resonant notes in the viewers' cockles. The clutter of junk at the bottom of the crater -- left a hundred years ago by diggers who thought the meteor might be made of precious metal -- is carefully avoided in all the shots so as to promote the feeling of a pristine natural feature. He's as innocent as a new-born babe which, in a cultural sense, he is. But for no particular reason, the agents of social control are in hot pursuit. They seem to hate him. They're led by a major suit, the reliable and familiar Richard Jaekel, whose character's name is George Fox. I don't know if it was intentional -- probably not -- but in the old military phonetic alphabet "George" stood for the letter "G", and "Fox" stood for "F". "George Fox" was an offhand and polite way of telling someone to get lost.

Yes! This is a marvelous movie about humanity - our fears, hopes, strengths and weaknesses. Jeff Bridges is amazing as the Starman - he really seems to be not of this earth. Karen Allen is lovely and so appealing as she overcomes her fear and proves that love is universal. Plus Charles Martin Smith - Terry the Toad (ugh!) in "American Graffiti" - really rocks it as a humanitarian scientist, one who realizes that we invited the Starman and owe him a little respect. Not exactly handsome, but he's grown so lovable since his early role as a clumsy nerd. Probably he played that unattractive part so convincingly because he's an intelligent and talented actor. I've seen the flick ten times or more but it never grows old. It always amazes me. The acting is convincing and the story is well told. Indeed it is a brilliant romance which warms and informs the heart.
