C'mon people...

Rating: 6/10 (26 September 1998)

This is a movie extremely well done with a lot of money and great historical background but c'mon... this movie doesn't deserve all the fuzz it's been getting. The plot is silly and the characters are flat (just like all Spielberg movies). They are completely good or completely evil! Think about Tom Hanks' character: he simply doesn't exist! Now compare all Spielberg's movies with Scorcese's movies. Wow, now you see the difference... DeNiro could never play the captain because he wouldn't HAVE a character. Although I think Tom Hanks is really great. This movie is just like Amistad. The good and the evil... and the emptiness...
