Most Tedious movie in recent times......big spoiler

Rating: 1/10 (6 January 2014)

This was the most boring, pathetic film ever. Two hours or so of SteadiCam wobbliness and Tom Hanks as the most ineffective cowardly Captain ever seen in film. All he did was stare and look pathetic...acting was non-existent. Someone on this site said he was sleepwalking - that pretty much sums it up. After 40 minutes of pirates running around the cargo ship, and the crew hiding in fear, we were ready to watch American Pickers. Thanking our lucky stars we didn't shell out big bucks to see this yawner which should have been a one hour TV drama......Obviously this was made to satisfy some studio deal, because it was just a nothing film. Too bad Hollywood spews out this stuff today instead of making films that uplift and/or entertain. What could have been suspenseful with good dialogue and interesting characters, was instead ho-hum. Unlike Hanks' great film "That Thing You Do" which was about one hit wonders, this film is a one note blunder.
