The Terminal

[Fierce Critter]

I eagerly anticipated renting this one, as I'm a big Tom Hanks fan, and this seemed like such an intersting concept.

But I admit, I'm a bit disappointed in it. It was just "o.k.".

I expected a lot more creativity with how the character would have handled the situation. There was some, but not what I expected.

And though I'm not a big plot critic, some aspects of this one had me thinking, "why did the feel the need to include that?"

No extras on the DVD - first one I've rented that lacked ANY.

I'd only recommend it if you're a BIG Tom Hanks fan, or if you want to watch something that's pretty harmless, but not particularly interesting, either. Don't bother paying first-run rental prices - wait until it's 5 for $5 or something. I didn't pay anything - it was my free birthday rental. So I don't feel cheated.

I'll wait til it hits basic cable to see it then.

Watched this one this week too actually.

I rated it 3 stars (out of 5) on netflix. It was , i feel a "good movie" and i'd watch it again, but i too was expecting a bit more.

Its charming, and generally fun, and very cute, but thats it. I dont think it ever quite hits the "great" mark at any point.

At the end of it my dad said "they left it open for a sequel" and I had to hold myself back from beating the living hell out of him.

Im still waiting for Hamlet 2 (virtually everyone dies at the end) with the way the entertainment industry works, no matter what they do in a storyi think someone says at the end of it "hey im thinkin sequel!" :laughing:
