Spielberg is a great director but he's past his prime. The eighties and nineties Spielberg was a mad man making hit after hit. Lately he's been giving us mediocre to good movies. This was the start of that. It's quaint. Probably the best word to describe it. It's too cheesy at points and really stupid at points. It's a good family movie even though there are some slightly mature themes that kids who shouldn't know yet won't pick up on. It's a nice quaint family movie with no depth. 6/10
Although the premise of this film is slightly ridiculous and it's full of completely unrealistic situations, it remains a very entertaining watch. Steven Spielberg brings his typical blend of great plot, pacing, characterisation and moments of emotion that will have you cringing in your seat. It's the kind of film that forces you into a good mood and you can't help liking it despite the flaws. The film really displays what a versatile actor Tom hanks really is. Although slightly annoying a times he pulls of the role decently. The simplicity of the story, the interesting range of characters and quirky moments are what really makes this film.
Some movies just fascinate us with its cuteness..and here comes "The Terminal". It tells the story of a foreigner who gets stuck in an Airport in the United States and the protagonist's efforts to adapt to this horrible situation forms the rest of the story. Tom Hanks at his very best in this comedy feel-good entertainer. The movie shows us love and innocence could still do wonders in this difficult world. I bet, you will watch this movie again and again.
Simply one of the best motion pictures ever made, I was expecting the rating to be at least 9/10, I'm really surprised. Watched it twice and wouldn't mind watch it more times
