Great Movie

Rating: 10/10 (21 May 2006)

I don't get all of the criticism of the movie. Maybe it's because I have not read the book. The movie was over 2 hours long and I enjoyed every minute of it. I am usually a very critical movie goer and I really believe that this movie is being unfairly attacked. Everyone in my theater seemed to like the movie. They all applauded at the end. See it for yourself and decide don't listen to the critics. One critic claimed that Tom Hanks gave a mechanical performance. Tom Hanks, the Oscar winner? How was Tom Hanks suppose to act? He is playing the role of a professor of symbology. I would think that a professor in that field would be a little mechanical. He surely wouldn't be a James Bond type.
