Why did I wait so long for this movie?

Rating: 9/10 (27 February 2017)

Bridge of Spies. I hate that I waited so long to see this movie. It is so amazing. Stick around and see how so.
Synopsis: In the cold war, a lawyer, James B. Donovan is recruited by the CIA and involved in an intense negotiation mission to release and exchange a CIA U-2 spy-plane pilot, Francis G. Powers. The pilot was arrested alive after his plane was shot down by the Soviet Union during a mission and stays in the company of a KGB intelligence officer, Rudolf Abel, who was arrested for espionage in the US. Starring: Tom Hanks, Mark Rylance Director: Steven Spielberg
First thing is, there is hardly anything wrong with this movie. The only downfall is the fact that it ran two minutes longer than it should have. Just a mere two minutes was the matter of this movie being a 10 or a 9. Throughout Tom Hanks' character's whole time in Germany he was saying all he wanted to do was get home to his bed. When that happened at the end of the movie it should have just ended there. There was no need to show that people respected his character after he got back. Falling onto his bed and going to sleep was enough in my opinion.
Now that we got the one bad thing out of the way, let's talk about the best thing of the movie. Mark Rylance did deserve the best supporting actor for his role. He was so amazing in this movie. Was he a spy or not? Yes, the truth has come out and he was a spy, but nobody knew that at the time. The way Rylance played it off as if you couldn't tell was superb. If he see this movie for anything watch it for Rylance's performance.
Tom Hanks in this movie was as amazing as he always is. Well, after he stopped doing those romance movies. And outside the two I have mentioned, there was no one who stood out. That's okay. The whole situation was about how Donovan treated Abel respectfully and worked over the Russians and Germans to get what the U.S. needed.
Unlike a lot of Spielberg's movies in the last twenty years this one did not have a pacing problem. Even though it was nearly two and a half hours long it didn't feel that way. You are so entranced in the story that you don't realize you were sitting there for two hours and then the movie is over.
How this movie didn't win more awards is beyond me. It was so good. This is one of those movies that will stand the test of time. I guarantee it. Watch it.
