Tom Hanks, THE MAN!

Rating: 7/10 (18 October 2005)

An extraordinary real story (a man trapped in an American airport because of some absurd bureaucratic troubles) turned into sort of a romantic comedy rather unimportant. Quite funny and so tender. That's Spielberg! That's Hollywood! Steven runs away from any kind of social-politic commitment and he focuses on giving the audience just what they want: some smiles, some tears, nothing too deep...
Tom Hanks takes the whole movie over. He shows off his huge talent playing the main role, a character that's in every single frame of "The Terminal". HE IS THE MOVIE.
So, what we got here is a perfect made movie where everything it's been so well cared (we're talking about a Spielberg production). Nice for a Saturday afternoon (although we expected something else from the man who made Jaws, AI or ET).
*My rate: 7/10
