Good Way to Kill a Few Hours

Rating: Null/10 (3 July 2004)

Steven Spielburg has started to be a really good director again. Not so much because he's a visionary, but because he just isn't forcing things anymore. Like Catch Me If You Can, The Terminal is innoculous but well meaning fun. Going to see a Steven Spielburg movie these days makes me feel like I'm "out-at-the-movies" again. Ultimately The Terminal offers very little that will stick with you when you leave the theater, but like it's main character, it's just so charming and unopposing during your brief stay with it you'll have a grand 'ol time. Not only that it's what they call a "crowd-pleaser" because you'll end up cheering on Hank's cunning rascal, and yet you'll never really feel like he's not gonna win in the end.
