The Terminal - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Did anyone see the Terminal? I just saw it yesterday and this movie is very unique and amusing. Tom Hanks played a wondeful part. Theres alot of crazy characters in it and it has that humor that only Tom Hanks could deliever. My only complains were that the ending fell alittle flat. It felt like something was missing. My other complain was the relationship between Tom Hanks' character & Catherine Zeta Jones character. I felt that there could've been more to it. It just didn't really go anywhere.

Any thoughts?

I didn't like it but I rarely like big Hollywood movies....

Previewed the trailer a few days ago. Not sure what I think. Seems every time Spielberg makes a movie these days, Tom Hanks has a starring role. When I read the premise for this movie, I thought Bill Murray would have been more suitable for this role.
It also seems surprising to me that anyone would be allowed an unwarranted length of stay at a terminal, because of the security measures in place since 9/11.
Hehe, what the heck do I know, I haven’t seen the movie yet!

I havent seen it, but I want to.
It looks very interesting and Tom Hanks is acting GOLD.

It seems like a better premise for a TV series than a movie.

I haven't seen it yet, but I want to see it.
When I first saw the preview it reminded me of the It was a true urban legend, of a guy who was trapped in an airport and has been living there since 1988. Here's a link to the story.
