This was the most awful movie ever to hit the big screen. Why! Why would anybody spend money on a movie this abysmal. If the studio wanted to throw away millions of dollars they could have just tossed the money out of the window and I would have been standing under it with a basket to catch all that cash. Starman flamed out like a dying star. Stop letting 9 year olds approve movie script idea's!

This movie isn't for everyone. I watched it as a kid in the 80s, thanks to the influence of my father (may he rest in peace). It's the little things that make this a gem: Bridges actually looking like he doesn't know how to behave like a socially conforming human being is priceless. His acting is quite good, as is Karen Allen's. Although it makes a few philosophical assertions, it's still a solid light sci-fi movie with a romantic theme. Ending scene is still among my favorites of any movie.

An underrated gem. One of my favorite John Carpenter films. Bridges sells the role so well, and Karen Allen does not disappoint. The shape Starman uses for his human form plays very nicely to the romantic aspect of the film and influences the way Allen plays her role🤘🏻..also, a fantastic Film Score. A+ An absolute classic..
