Subpar Spielberg

Rating: Null/10 (9 January 2003)

WOW, what an overrated film! The movie is simply too long and very poorly paced. It could have used some voice over narration from Frank. Similar to "Goodfellas". I kept thinking of Goodfellas while watching this film. A criminal, period dress, period music.....then they part ways. The pacing of Goodfellas is brilliant and length is no object.
Those are the two areas CMIYC fails. It's all over the map with one too many endings. It is also an embarrassing role for Hanks. Leo is good.

I cannot fathom why Spielberg wasted his time with this film or why critics are fawning over it.
As a big Spielberg fan, I am disappointed. I'm one of the few who thinks A.I. is a masterpiece. There was just no magic in Catch Me If You Can, nothing special.
