Well done, Well thought out! Great pace!

Rating: 10/10 (21 May 2006)

I wasn't too sure if I wanted to see the film. I've been sick of every film being adapted by a book or something, having no original ideas. And I was a bit surprised that it starred Tom Hanks, don't get me wrong I love him! Well I saw the film just last night and I was engaged the whole entire time. The 2+ hours flew by and it was well made. From the film stock to the editing to the effects and of course the story I loved it! I can understand why a lot of people hate it from the whole flashback sequences and of course the new thought to Christianity. But people do forget that its a story and an imitation. It's not necessary true nor false. I feel that it was an outstanding film. It was a great adventure watching these characters trying to solve a mystery. And how it just never end! of course a lot of people would hate that but I loved it. I personally did not want this film to end! I thought it was extremely well done. I feel that Tom Hanks did a great job. And I think that Ron Howard is starting to step up. The pacing was a lot better than his previous films. When I saw the reviews after seeing the film I was in complete shock. I really feel that this film is a B+/A-. You should definitely see it in the theaters! And I would buy the DVD! Give this film a try!
