Bit of a disappointment

Rating: 4/10 (15 June 2001)

Seeing the likes of Forrest Gump and Saving Private Ryan gave me the impression that this would be another outstanding performance by Tom Hanks. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations. The acting was very impressive, but the plot seemed to be non-existent. They show him when he first became stranded on the island, then they show what happened four years later. What on earth were they thinking? Before that, I was very impressed, but afterwards, it was just completely ruined. A little too far-fetched and way too long for my liking. I left the cinema in great disappointment.
