The Robinson Crusoe's story is as old as I can remember and this movie is a sort of take-off on that old story, and it's quite a good take-off. Basically the film is divided to 3 parts,before the crash,the island and after the island. This structure help convey the transformation Hanks' character has gone through the film, however it is the film weakest point. The middle part is the best one in the film and the longest,the 2 other parts are simply not in the emotional scale of that part.
I am not a huge fun of Tom Hanks. Sometimes he tend to be very annoying but sometime with the right script and director he gives a good performance(see "Saving Private Ryan"). This is the case here.His performance is superb and his 3rd Oscar is almost certain to land in his hands.He carries the film on his shoulders and do best with what he has been given in the first place,which is not much.
If you are a Tom Hanks fun you have already seen the film. If not go see it,Hanks deserve every praise he gets.
