Pros: Tom Hanks and Catherine Zeta-Jones. Unique plot idea. Cons: Slow at times and seemed too long. Few things that just seemed pointless.
When I first heard about the movie The Terminal, I didn’t think I wanted to see it. The movie didn’t sound too interesting to me at that point. Then I saw a preview and it did look interesting. Since then I’ve wavered about if I wanted to ...
Spielberg did this shit? Those were Nick's first words to me during the closing credits of The Terminal. From the first trailer I had been wanting to see this one. Tom Hanks is such a versatile actor, and the story looked impelling, ...
Pros: Tom Hanks; Mostly original story; Stanley Tucci Cons: Story is too simplistic; Some parts are too far- fetched
Traveling to the United States can often present some problems for certain people. With all the emphasis on security, it can sometimes be difficult to get into the country. But imagine if you were an immigrant to the U.S. and, while on your way over in ...
Pros: Good cast, solid script, great music, nice balance of drama and humour... Cons: ... some bits seem a little too improbable, Tucci's character is inconsistent...
Viktor Navorski has a problem. He’s just entered the United States from a fictitious Eastern European country (no, in the film it’s not fictitious… or that would be his problem!) only to find that while he was in transit, a military coup had ...
Pros: Umm...interesting concept I suppose Cons: Basically everything else
I have probably stated many times in my reviews that Steven Spielberg is not one of my favourite directors. Even though he did direct Schindler's List, one of my favourite films from the 1990s, his other films have not tended to leave much of an ...
Tom Hanks has a penchant for playing characters who get stuck living out of their element. It could be a 12-year-old kid in an adult's body, an obsessive-compulsive Fed Ex guy stuck on an island, or in the case of The Terminal, a ...
Pros: Hanks, interesting concept, great supporting cast Cons: somewhat unsatisfying resolution with Amelia
I am drawn to movies for a variety of reasons. One of them, which does not happen terribly often and is perhaps a silly excuse to see a movie, is that the preview contains a song that I like very much. It was the playing of Simon and Garfunkel’s ...
Pros: Strong Anti-Government Themes Cons: Characters are one dimensional. Little or no character development.
I am often amazed at exactly how much anti-government sentiment exists in our popular culture. Despite a constant barrage by the mainstream media, politicians, pundits, college professors, and just ordinary, every day people telling us how critical ...
Pros: Hanks' performance, the cinematography and the production design Cons: Replaces every potentially provocative idea with... nothing
[This review spends extensive time discussing the thematic failures of The Terminal, things that will be more useful for people to have seen the movie already. For people who have yet to see the movie, there is ample discussion of performance and ...
Pros: Generally well-done in all aspects... Cons: ...except the script.
Steven Spielberg. Tom Hanks. Catherine Zeta-Jones. This movie can't miss. Right? Right?! Um...wrong. The Terminal has a promising premise. Based on a true story, Tom Hanks is Viktor Navorski, an Eastern European immigrant ...
Tom Hanks plays Viktor Navorski. Viktor Navorski is a man without a country. He’s en route to New York City when his country’s government is overthrown. With no officially recognized country, Viktor has no legitimate passport. That’s when ...
Pros: Funny in many places. Cons: Not funny in many places.
I guess we're all a little bit spoiled. The Terminal is a pretty funny, pretty poignant movie. But it just doesn't seem up to the standards of what we have come to expect from Hanks and Spielberg. Not that Hanks and Catherine Zeta Jones and ...
I am a huge fan of Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks—so much so that I’ve seen all of their movies and whenever they collaborate they make a great movie…except here. When I heard word that they were going to work together again for the third time ...
Pros: Charming, top notch lead by Tom Hanks; terrific ensemble cast; inspired screen play and directing Cons: Catherine Zeta Jones character a bit weak; story doesn't feel that important
In THE TERMINAL, Viktor Navorski (Tom Hanks) has been grounded indefinitely at New York's Kennedy Airport. A native of a fictional Russian province named Krakozhia which has undergone a military coup while he was airborne, Navorski lands to discover his ...
Pros: Would be pleasant if expectations were not raised by its production by Hollywood A-listers... Cons: ...pacing, lethargic plot, imbalance between Hanks and the cast and many more.
The Terminal's team of actors, writers and director should have been unbeatable. Steven Spielberg remains one of cinema's top directors of all time and the voice of a generation. Tom Hanks collects Academy Awards like most people collect lint in ...
A Balkan immigrant becomes a resident of an airport terminal when a war breaks out and erases his country from the map. His visa voided, the immigrant...More at HotMovieSale.com
