I was expecting a lot more out of the combination of Spielberg and Hanks. Sadly, this film just left me bored most of the time. A good idea, but a tame, underwhelming result. Middle of the road for all involved. |

While not bad by any means, and often entertaining, again, I was let down by Spielberg. Hanks did a fine job as well, and Zeta Jones works well with him. The only problem is how this movie does not have any memorable scenes. A fun movie. |

Fantastic Hanks/Spielberg movie. |
|
Tom Hanks is both funny and touching in this 2004 release. The terminal is about a man from the fictional country of Karkozia that is taken over by revolutionaries. Viktor Navorski (Hanks) is stuck in JFK airport because his his home country no longer is recognized by the U.S. so his passport and visa are no good. He can't return home because of the revolution and can't enter the U.S. because of the visa situation. What is created is a sometimes hilarious, sometimes thought provoking film that I was surprised that I enjoyed so much. Many reviewers compared Tom Hank's performance to that of Forrest Gump and I have to agree. He can take an out of the ordinary character and make him into someone we laugh WITH and not AT as so many people tend to do with those that are different. Check out th... |

Living at an airport was never so good |
|
The setting for this movie is what makes it good. By the end, you feel that the airport is it's own little town, with residents like janitors, baggage throwers, etc. You really get the time and chance to see Tom Hank's character adapt to his new environment, and even enjoy it at times. There's a very natural and understandable good vs. evil element with Tom Hanks and the man stopping him from going home.
Forget the expections you might have from a cast like this and a director like Spielberg. If you take the movie for what it is, it's quite enjoyable and you end up routing for Hanks in the end. There's even a dash of romance and mystery.
An overall good movie definitely worth watching.
