Waste of time

Rating: 3/10 (21 June 2004)

Long ago, when Steven Spielberg was in his prime, he would lay down corny music to an already cheesy plot and the crowds loved it. That was in the 1980s. 20 years later, no one wants to see Tom Hanks lump around in an abandoned airport like a confused dope while more of the same stupid background music plays.
If this movie would have been released in the 80s, I'm sure it would have been a hit. It's got all the elements - a totally implausible plot, characters that no one cares about, that message about working class people of all different cultures banding together as one, that horrific music, and an unconvincing attempt at achieving some degree of reality.

Spielberg needs to face facts - he has lost his mind. He has lost any inkling of what real life is. He is forever stuck in the 80s. He needs to continue making sequels to Gremlins and Batteries Not Included.
I will never see another Spielberg movie again and neither should you.
