Cast Away

Pros: Tom Hanks, tropical scenery
Cons: We never find out what was in that darn box!!!

Why did I see this movie? Two words...Tom Hanks. When's the last time he led me the wrong way?

Well, if you've heard the buzz and seen the trailers, you know that Cast Away has been the most anticipated movie of the Christmas season. You...

Pros: Special Effects, Cast, Story
Cons: Ending

The much anticipated Christmas release this year was Cast Away, and believe me, it was worth the wait

Tom Hanks stars as Chuck Noland, a big-time FedEx employee. He is on his way home for New Years with his girlfriend, Kelly (Helen Hunt)....

Pros: Tom Hanks,Helen Hunt & the plane crash
Cons: The almost 80 mintues of non talking and that damn volleyball

I was looking forward to this film.I love long,man against nature movies.

But boy o boy was i dissapointed.

This film is mainly about some guy named Chuck [Tom Hanks],spending 4 yrs on a desert island i think near africa.

Pros: Hank's performance, some well-filmed action sequences
Cons: Fails to deliver a coherent, powerful message

One leaves "Cast Away" with the conviction that director Robert Zemeckis is trying,as usual, to deliver a profound message. The problem, as evidenced by Zemeckis's earlier efforts is that he seems either unclear himself over exactly what...

Pros: Awesome Idea For a Movie;Brillant effects;Kickin Plot!
Cons: The Behind the scenes shows a secret!

I rented this movie at Hastings on one lonely night as I knew nothing about this film, just that fabulous Tom Hanks was apart of it! As soon as I popped this movie in I was already starting to enjoy it. It showed the life of Chuck and his relations ...

Pros: Hanks is totally compelling, as always.
Cons: The inappropriate laughter of the cheeseball who sat behind me.

Is Tom Hanks not the most beloved actor around? He comes across as a profoundly decent human being, and every role he plays comes with the Hanks tried-and-true-blue persona attached. Not since the glory days of Jimmy Stewart has an actor been so...

Pros: Tom Hanks, another great job
Cons: Weak script

My husband Mike agreed to take me to a movie this last Saturday and that is a rare event. What is even rarer is me letting him pick the movie. But I figured he was paying so what the heck.He had a toss up between Family Man and Cast Away. I was rooting...

Pros: Hanks & Hunt; Wilson the Volleyball
Cons: way too predictable, especially if you’d seen the previews

I liked the volleyball. Wilson was the single most unique thing in an otherwise predictable movie. Tom Hanks did a wonderful job and Helen Hunt did more than hold her own. Their acting and Wilson were the only redeeming qualities of an otherwise mediocre...

Pros: Awesome Idea For a Movie Brillant effects Kickin Plot!
Cons: The Behind the scenes will ruin it!

I rented this movie at Hastings the same night my friend did. I knew nothing about this film, just that Tom Hanks was in this.

As soon as I poped this movie in, I was already enjoying it. It showed the life of Chuck, and his relations to his...

Pros: Nolan's island trials
Cons: Not too believable

I was chastised a while back because I put this review in the wrong category because my search for "Castaway" didn't bring up "Cast Away". I've been away awhile so I'm now making amends. So here is my review in the proper category.

Okay,...

Pros: A "thinking man's" movie
Cons: None

I saw this movie because I believe Tom Hanks is one of the few truly talented and professional actors we have. This movie and the part he played proved that to me again. The movie was superb. I felt for all characters involved. The movie had you...

Pros: Well, it did have Tom Hanks
Cons: it was quite boring

I usually like Tom Hanks movies. He is a really good actor and does seem to do really amazing roles. But over the past few years, it seems that people have started to rely on his acting ability more compared to the script. The formula is simple get an...

Pros: Great plot, Excellent acting, Gripping
Cons: Language at the beginning.

Yes, Tom Hanks will more than likely score yet another Oscar for this latest film. "Castaway" is a modern Robinson Cruesoe story which holds your attention from start to finish, despite the fact that Hanks is the only person on screen for...

Pros: Good story, good acting.
Cons: Length, and lack of scenery change.

Tom Hanks is the star many big hits. Then again, he's done some side movies that just didn't hit it. This movie, while a great idea, is just too boring. That is something I thought I'd never be saying when I wanted to rent this interesting title called...

Pros: Good acting, Hunt is cute
Cons: Way to long of a movie. They could have trimmed 40 minutes easy!

I didn't like this movie. Well I can't really say that I didn't like it at all. Because I did like some of it. But not all of it.
Tom Hanks plays a Federal Express man with places to go and things to do. One of those "go-go" "on the run types". He...
