More than met my expectations

Rating: 10/10 (21 May 2006)

I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this movie after reading most of the reviews in the paper. A huge review gave it ** and not much else was any better. I doubted Tom Hanks after the slamming he took and was very pleased to see "they" were dead wrong.
Is it, perhaps, the religious right that is doing most of these reviews? I am serious. I am able to discern for myself that this is FICTION and why do people always think we cannot handle deciding the truth on our own? People who cannot figure out that this is novel of fiction would most likely not even be interested in it.
That said, if you haven't read the book, you are in for a great ride. If you have read the book you will be surprised at how well it goes over.
