Loved it!!!

Rating: 10/10 (25 May 2006)

I loved the movie! To those "critics" that have said that Tom Hanks gave a "wooden" performance....Did they even read the book?!?!? He's playing a professor, his character is not supposed to be "lively", or "animated" or whatever. Anyway, it was a very good movie. I read the book, have seen the movie, and loved them both. Neither of my two teenage sons have read the book, and they loved the movie as well. Also, they had no problem following the movie; which proves to me that reading the book is not necessary. The movie does a great job of explaining and "illustrating" whatever background is necessary and important to the story. Awesome book, awesome movie!
