Pros: Original Hit
Cons: Needs more actors and actresses
Silence…It brings movies in a unique way. The film has a way to speak for itself using silence. In the movie, Cast Away, only ten minutes of the original score is played, in a film that is almost three hours long. Nevertheless, Cast Away is a movie...

Pros: Moving performance by Tom Hanks
Cons: Revealing trailer, strange parts....
After seeing the really cool trailers for Cast Away, I knew I had to see it. Since so many good clips of the movie were shown, I figured the real thing must have many more plot twists then I imagined. This wasn't quite the case, but I still loved the...

Pros: Tom Hanks, well written and well made
Cons: if you need tons of dialogue and action, this isn't for you
I love Tom Hanks! I will see, literally, any movie he appears in; "Cast Away" was no exception. From the first preview I saw of this movie, I could not wait to buy my ticket. Finally, it opened and I practically sprinted to the theater.

Pros: Excellent story, amazing effects, symbolism
Cons: The end was a little bit unsatisfying
I went to see Cast Away with a few of my friends. We made a good choice.
This movie was titled as such for more than one reason. I don't want to tell you what the underlying symbolism of the title, because that would ruin the movie. This...

Pros: Tom Hanks is amazing. The entire island sequence is wonderfully done.
Cons: After Hanks leaves the island everything ends too quickly. There is no reintegration shown.
As those of you who follow my reviews know I am a cognitive psychologist. Hand in hand with this is my fascination with the way people interpret, represent, and react to unusual situations. Well I was drawn to this movie as if it were a bug light, and...

Pros: Excellent Film. Hanks is top-notch!
Cons: Sit far from the screen
My friends, I ask you---- Does it ever get any better than this? If you're the type of movie-lover that wants some actual entertainment for the cost of a ticket and a bucket of corn, The Castaway is money well
spent. I think part of the reason...

Pros: Special effects, clean performances
Cons: Not enough detail or plot developement, poor cinematography takes away from the mood
Far be it for me to pass up on a Tom Hanks epic. "Forrest Gump" pretty much nailed Tom to the dramatic actor's cross, from which he has had a very difficult time of escaping. It could be that Tom found his niche, or directors want Forrest Gump...

Pros: Acting
Cons: Trailer
In life there are many obstacles thrown our way. The object is how we deal with them after we overcome them, which is the difficult part. For Chuck Noland (Tom Hanks) his life is rule by the clock. The company he works for demands it, he is a FedEx...

by tkerodd - Top 500, Jul 23 '01
Pros: good idea I guess, nice scenery
Cons: BORING, repetitive, frustrating
Since this movie was highly rated, I was actually pleased to find it in our local video store. We took it home on a Friday night, looking forward to seeing an excellent movie. After all, Tom Hanks has been known in recent years for making only...

Pros: Hanks, cinematography, lack of "Hollywood Cr@p"
Cons: Should have been even longer
*Spoilers Galore - Beware...*
I guess this review will be more of a response to other reviews, rather than a review for the benefit of someone who hasn't seen the movie yet and is wondering if it's worth it. So if you haven't seen the movie,...

Pros: Entertainingly ironic
Cons: A movie this long and well thought out should have a decent ending
Imagine riding down a highway, cruising at 65mph. All's going well, then you get to a bridge. The bridge is several hundred feet high, overlooking a beautiful river. As you near the end, you're almost sorry to see the bridge end when suddenly, out of...

Pros: Tom Hanks Has Become One Of Our Finest Actors
Cons: The Main Plot Twist Way Given Away In The Previews
When I first saw the previews for Cast Away, I must admit that it didn't look like much to me. Getting washed up on a deserted island is about as trite and cliched as Hollywood plot devices go these days, right up there with the...

Pros: Tom Hanks
Cons: Plot
It’s been a while since I’ve watched a good movie. It’s not that Hollywood is slinging us some of the worse crapola they’ve slung in 20 years. And it’s not the fact that they can’t seem to produce a star bigger than Freddy Prince Jr. to take on a...

Pros: Good Acting
Cons: None
I just saw Castaway at the cinema today, so thought I better write about it when it’s still fresh in my mind.
The film stars Tom Hanks and Helen Hunt, although Tom Hanks stars much more prominently. If you don't like Tom Hanks then this film...
