missing something

Rating: 6/10 (1 June 2006)

I thought this movie was not extraordinary with one exception. Ian McKellen did a superb job. There was no chemistry with Tom Hanks. I think any talentless actor could pull of the same dull performance as he did. I went with a multicultural group of people and we all had the same opinion that it would have been better with another actor such as Jeremy Irons or even Tom Cruise instead of Tom Hanks. The rest of the cast is good the plot is ever twisting yet I felt the adventure was to dull. I'm not sure if it was because of Hanks or Ron Howard. Ron Howard has proved that he can produce extremely good films yet I don't understand how he could have settled for the averageness of this one. As for the film it is fiction and it is evident that is so. The film is not forcing any beliefs on anyone although people might be encouraged to open their minds when watching this.
