entertaining but whats with the hype?

Rating: 7/10 (24 May 2006)

OK so i haven't read the book so i went in not knowing what to expect but i thought it was a major disappointment! don't get me wrong it was a good movie, however there was soo much hype leading up to it i expected a lot more. tom hanks gave an amazing performance as always which i expected, and the other actors did very good also, but i was just wanting more. while i was watching the movie it was good but i left wondering why i liked it when i was watching it. i would go see it just because its a huge summer blockbuster but don't expect to be blown away. also it is really really long (try around 3 hours) and you seem to just get the run around in the middle. i remember thinking OK are we done with all the weird clues yet? because some of them you think you are done with and then show up again (this may be just part of the story). when you go see it expect an exciting summer movie not the best movie ever made!
