SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
davidkeys-72154 The Terminal is a charming comedy drama by Steven Spielberg starring Tom Hanks as a man stranded in New York's JFK international for 9 months. He befriends many people much to the disdain of the officials of the airport played excellently by Stanley Tucci. The film is charming and Tom Hanks plays a hapless yet endearing man rather well- as he has done for so many years. Spielberg's direction is impeccable, it is amazing to think he can switch from big budget spectacles to dramas so effortlessly. The Terminal is an absolute must watch for fans of Spielberg or Hanks or good films in general.
bhavinshukla-39630 Never the ordinary,liked it so much that i wanna review it at half of the movie.I mean don't be negative,it has so much in it.
hollyvoodoo Shortly after i began watching this movie, immediately i found myself expecting someone else in Tom Hanks' place... Robin Williams! i think he would have played the character of Viktor Navorski a lot better. And by "better" i am not dissing Hanks' acting in any way, only saying that for this particular character Robin would have been a better choice. The ultimate choice, in fact. This is it, just wanted to share my thought with y'all. Find this useful is you agree :)
HotToastyRag The preview of The Terminal is a pretty good representation of the film, which isn't always the case with modern trailers. Tom Hanks plays a man from Krakozhia, visiting the United States for the first time. He arrives in New York City, but before he gets through immigration he runs into a pretty major problem. Stanley Tucci, the customs director, informs him that his government is going through a crisis and he isn't allowed to enter the United States. He's also not allowed to be shipped home, so he's stuck in "the terminal" until his country stabilizes. He meets a host of airport workers who have a host of quirky traits, and he also becomes attracted to stewardess Catherine Zeta-Jones. And, as you can see from the preview, there are a few laughs, some good acting from an accented and utterly foreign Tom Hanks, some cute scenes, but it won't end up being your favorite movie in the world.My biggest problem with the film are the minor characters. Kumar Pallana, a janitor, is extremely irritating. His character is written to have a major attitude problem and to be intentionally mean, for no reason except to exact a frustrated chuckle from the audience. Diego Luna and Zoe Saldana have an awkward romance that isn't the most amusing part of the plot. Catherine Zeta-Jones, while written realistically, isn't a very nice person and reminds audiences of that one person in their circle of friends who makes endless mistakes but is tolerated because of her beauty.Basically, if you're a Tom Hanks fan, or a Steven Spielberg fan, or a John Williams fan, you'll probably want to see it. But it's not exactly the feel-good movie that you think it will be. There's a big mystery in the plot and once it's revealed, you might feel a bit let down. Having said that, I do own a copy, since there are some cute scenes. My favorite is Tom Hanks's preparation of asking Catherine Zeta-Jones out on a date, or as he says it, to "eat a bite". He's a cutie!
