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 ...

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

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.
