shareOnly just seen D.A.R.Y.L. for the first time.
Seen lots of 80s films but not this one.
Was on Sony Movie Channel here and really liked it.
I gave it a 7 out of 10.
Think I will get this on DVD to.

I remember this being on cable a lot on the early 90's, but can't recall if I ever saw the whole thimg.
shareFirst thing I thought when I saw the rating. This was one of the sweetest family movies of the 80's. It will obviously seem dated today, but you have to take that into account. The theme song at the end over the credits is a great song too today.
Tha Hot Girlz -- THE99 And 4 Eva!
It's insane, yes.
I was around in the '80s but didn't see the film then, so I have no nostalgic feeling for it.
And I hated most of the stuff in the '80s because I found so much of it loud, self-conscious and obviously something that wouldn't stand the test of time once the '80s Kool-aid had been drunk and urinated away, certainly gadget-y stuff.
That said, having seen it the other night for the first time, I thought D.A.R.Y.L. was a much more solid film than the IMDb rating would suggest.
And it didn't have that cheese-crap tone that so much '80s stuff did.
It's currently (April, 2015) at 6.1, but it has a 6.6 arithmetic mean, which may actually be the truest score.
It was originally panned by Leonard Maltin, but ET Tonight's poll at the same time found a much more positive assessment from the movie-going public: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMXgL7I1mT0
409 IMDb 19-29 year olds give it an 8.0!
3 IMDb Staff members give it a 7.3.
179,000+ Netflix viewers give is a 3.5/5, which translates to a 7/10 on IMDb's scale.

Its been nearly 30 years since the last time i saw this and i always remember it with nostalgia. I finally got the time to see it again and the feelings were the same. Fantastic family movie for all the fans of the 80s. Turtle stole the show with his lines

I grew up on it, thought it was so so then, pretty lame watching it now, and I'm not just saying that because of the dated tech, in fact I actually love watching that stuff, seeing old computers and games and remembering how awesome and advanced it seemed then.
Fact is this is just a boring story, the mother was downright dreadful, whining all the time because DARYL was a good kid, I can honestly say, I have never in my life wished a kid would misbehave, what kind of stupid crap is that?
So you’re rating the film on the basis of how much you liked it as. child, but you are now an adult. Your values have changed. Please explain this reasoning to me. BTW, “nostalgia” ONLY means “fondness for home.” Yes, the word is constantly mis-used, but ignorance does not change its meaning. If you did not live in this movie, you cannot be nostalgic for it.
