Saw “The Terminal†this weekend…eh. It was just…”eh.†Now, I try really hard not to read reviews before I go to a movie but last Thursday, CNN.com gave “The Terminal†an ‘eh’ review. However, the Dallas Morning News gave it an A- so I split the difference and went to see it.
The first half was GREAT…it was reminiscent of Tom Hanks in “Castaway†watching him try to get along in a completely strange world only without Wilson the Volleyball Friend. Once Spielberg had him interacting with other Airport Employees With Hearts of Gold though, things took a turn for the ludicrous. The proverbial cherry on the sundae was Catherine Zeta-Jones’ character…what was up with that? The storyline served no purpose but to put in the requisite romantic plotline.
It wasn’t awful but wasn’t great, either… 2 1/2 out of 4 stars.
On a better note, watched most of the first season of Survivor on DVD this weekend and remembered why I liked Kelly Wigglesworth so much!
