A Good Family Film

Advantages: No violents, good family film, very good acting by Tom Hanks
Disadvantages: A bit too long on some scenes

A realisic film of what could happen if shipwretched. Very good storyline and when watching the film you feel part of it. No sex or violents so a good family film. Tom Hanks performance was very good and it really looked like he was actually the character instead of just acting. Some scenes are really heart wrenching as he spends more and more time on his own with only his trusted football for company. Tom Hanks played the charater so well that it ...

Cast Away

Advantages: The actors play their characters well
Disadvantages: Not very interesting

...and their jobs (I thought) Castaway began to become watchable. Being castaway on a remote island for years isn't exactly exiting, however this film made it look more exiting than winning the lottery!

There he survives eating fish and coconut. Thats basically it. Nothing much else happens ...

ONE MAN AND HIS ISLAND

Advantages: HES A GOOD ACTOR
Disadvantages: ITS ONLY TOM HANKS BY HIMSELF

I KNOW HOW GREAT OF A ACTOR TOM HANKS IS BUT I THINK IT LOOKS LIKE HIS TALENT HAS BEEN DRAGGED THROUGH A BUSH WITH THIS FILM, ALTHOUGH I KNOW ALOT OF PEOPLE LIKE TIHS KIND OF ONE MAN FILM I THINK IT WOULD GET BORING JUST HEARING HIS VOICE FOR 2 HOURS. ...

Why Tom Hanks

Advantages: less than three hours long
Disadvantages: too much tom hanks

In my opinion Tom Hanks is the most overrated actor in the history of Show business. Remember the president in 'The Dead Zone'? When Christopher Walken shakes Martin Sheen's hand and sees global destruction. Well Tom Hanks wants to be president and that image flashes in my mind whenever I see Tom Hanks. You can guess what I thought of Castaway... Forrest Gump showed that he some farily naive and or scary opinions about his country's history and I'd ...
