Hanks, Zemeckis deliver again

Rating: 8/10 (22 December 2000)

Once again, my favorite actor, Tom Hanks, delivered the goods. His stunning performance and transformation in this movie should garner him his third Oscar. The fact that I began to care for a volleyball named Wilson is a clear indicator of Hanks ability as an actor. I gave this movie a ten because of Hanks performance, how they shot the plane crash, a beautiful score, and Robert Zemeckis' ability to make a two and a half hour film fly by. It is up there with Forrest Gump as one of my favorites.
