Movie Reviews of The Terminal (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: Great Acting In A Silly Movie
Summary: 3 Stars
I loved this movie for about the first 30 minutes. After that it seemed like the story didn't know where to go. While I sort of enjoyed this movie I think it had mostly to do with Tom Hanks. He creates a character that is easy to like and he does an amazing job playing a person who doesn't speak english and is trapped in an airport. What I didn't like about this movie was that it was a bit silly. The whole point of why he came to the U.S. to begin with was supposed to be touching, but I just thought it was a bit silly in the end. This movie was interesting, but a lot of it was just so far fetched that when the movie ended I just felt it was very corny overall. Entertaining enough to keep you interested, yet a let down in total.
Summary of The Terminal (Widescreen Edition)
Like an airport running at peak efficiency, The Terminal glides on the consummate skills of its director and star. Having refined their collaborative chemistry on Saving Private Ryan and Catch Me if You Can, Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks mesh like the precision gears of a Rolex, turning a delicate, not-very-plausible scenario into a lovely modern-age fable (partly based on fact) that's both technically impressive and subtly moving. It's Spielberg in Capra mode, spinning the featherweight tale of Victor Navorski (Hanks, giving a finely tuned performance), an Eastern European who arrives at New York's Kennedy Airport just as his (fictional) homeland has fallen to a coup, forcing him, with no valid citizenship, to take indefinite residence in the airport's expansive International Arrivals Terminal (an astonishing full-scale set that inspires Spielberg's most elegant visual strategies). Spielberg said he made this film in part to alleviate the anguish of wartime America, and his master's touch works wonders on the occasionally mushy material; even Stanley Tucci's officious terminal director and Catherine Zeta-Jones's mixed-up flight attendant come off (respectively) as forgivable and effortlessly charming. With this much talent involved, The Terminal transcends its minor shortcomings to achieve a rare degree of cinematic grace. --Jeff ShannonComedy DVD Video
