fun, but unrealistic and makes no sense at all

Rating: 6/10 (12 March 2005)

The Terminal is a fun movie, but has no real plot and lacks direction. The lack of a plot that makes any sense (it sort of has one, but a really dumb one) drags the movie out for longer than necessary. It has some very funny scenes, but just as many that really don't make any sense. Hanks puts on an unrealistic but funny character, including accent. I really hate it, though, when a movie is unrealistic. At least there should be a plausible idea behind what the characters do. Places and accents should be realistic. Don't make stuff up. Plus, does every movie have to have a love story? It's as if they have to throw one in there for good measure. This movie has more than one. And one ends up in a marriage after the first date. That's ridiculous. There's also a bad guy thrown in there for good measure.
I've come to expect this kind of movie from Hollywood. Entertaining, but disappointing. Don't get me wrong, it's a fun movie. Just don't watch it expecting a movie that makes any sense.
