Good, but not as good as I thought it would be.

Rating: 6/10 (13 July 2005)

This film like a lot of films was hyped up and did not, in my opinion, live up to the hype. It was to me, very slow moving to him finally "arriving" on the island. The acting was good and the story was easily comprehensible, but overall, it is a better than average Tom Hanks movie. I think the FedEx scenes were long and drawn out and were not completely necessary to the plot. Tom Hanks talks to Volley ball(Wilson) on deserted, uncharted island!! That is the basic crux of the movie.
In other words, been there, done that(Well, maybe not a Volley ball)!! I think that Hanks saved this movie from being less than adequate. Helen Hunt was good, but there is not enough of her in the movie either.
