It's another sequel that nobody wants and shouldn't be made.
Just watch Skeleton Crew, it's basically Goonies in space. Jude Law is the real treasure though.
I was gonna say, they're just trying to cash in after seeing the success of Skeleton crew. Great watch, and my kids loved it.
Please be a true sequel. Bring the boys back from their office jobs to go on a treasure hunt.
If they HAVE to make a sequel, at least let it be good.

Hollywood: ...no.
Hahaha
My wife and I recently rewatched The Goonies for the first time since childhood. My God the screaming! 80% of the "dialog" in this movie is constant screaming. We barely made it through the movie.
FUCK YOU, IT'S ~~JANUARY~~ FOREVER
My god, just let things alone.
It'll never end. They are gonna remake/ sequel/ prequel every classic until there's nothing left
There needs to be sone sort of statute of limitations on film. Like if one of the main characters is old enough to be a grandpa then no sequel or whatever
I watched The Goonies in theaters a while ago and it was super cool! Do that and not make a sequel. How creatively bankrupt are we that a 2025 sequel for a 90s movie is even a consideration?
80s
I got my kids to watch the Goonies and they didn't get into it.
Make a new thing for a new generation of kids to love.
What's wrong with your kids?
The stereotypes Gen X grew up with that are the characters in this movie don’t work these days. Even the kids being kinda feral isn’t the same. They can’t relate.
I mean, to be fair I was the right age for this movie, but it just never crossed my tv set. My Goonies was The Sandlot. I watched Goonies somewhat later in life and…it’s just not my childhood movie. So it was meh to me. Different strokes.
My brothers loved this movie. I hated The Goonies as a kid. It was a bad story that made little to no sense to me.
I agree you have to hit these movies at the right time as I was almost 20 when the Sandlot came out and that movie did nothing for me.
You're killing me, Smalls
For-EVVVVV-er
they didn't grow up in the 80s 😞
Ah yes. This is the perfect time for another ableist jaunt.
How many 80’s (or 90’s) classics reboots can you name that were at least good?
There's zero reason to oppose this. There's many more bad movies than good movies. The loss of a potential good movie is worse than any harm that can be done by a bad movie, which happens all the time. No harm can come to the original unless we decide to think of it that way, we're adults and we have free will.
We have the power.... To forget
They also just made a spiritual sequel to Goonies as Star Wars: Skeleton Crew and it was great.
Also Finding Ohana.
It's also easy to believe that it'll suck. And it likely will.
But it's such a good damned cast (speaking of the team of kids) who have careers of decades full of accomplishments, and I'm curious to see what they pull together.
But if it's they're the parents and there's a new team of kids, it won't work. Might as well make a new Stranger Things at that point.
Surely its not the same cast.
A new group of kids having adventures would appeal to me more. I don't even want cameos from the OG Goonies, that kind of shit make legacy sequals feel much too bloated.
The old cast have all signed on.
I agree with you that doing service to all the parents and their kids would be exhausting, along the lines of the Beetlejuice sequel.
I actually didn't mind the Beetlejuice sequal, it was busy but fun. So I guess it comes down to implementation more than hard rules.
But Jurassic World 3 would have been better served being split into two films, one where they visit the Jurassic Park crew for some guidance and a separate film where the Jurassic World crew can resolve their own issues and complete their series.
Pushing both into a single 147 minute movie is a bit silly.
I have no problem with sequals taking an idea/world and not the characters from the original. Star Trek has been doing this pretty successfully with their TV shows for years.
The Beetlejuice sequel was OK but Monica Bellucci was really useless in that movie even if she was the most important character. I was a bit disappointed.
I don't think a middle aged group would capture the spirit of the original. But I also don't think there's any reason it can't work out any specific way, it comes down to execution.
