[QUOTE="Furn_Darkside, post: 261787, member: 210"] [b]***spoilers***[/b] Salutations, I am going to let slip some minor spoilers or hints toward spoliers.. so skip this post if you have not seen the movie. Well, considering the names involved- and how the media has been saying that in every sentence about this movie- I would agree. What else, exactly, are you going to be looking at in the theater? Ok, to be serious, the movie was ok. I will agree the filming of the movie was impressive, but the acting was so-so. Paul Newman was decent, but Tom Hanks (once again) played the same role he has been playing in his last few movies.. he was just there. Jude Law was impressive. The dialogue was rather poor. I felt like I did when I saw Titanic- where I could say the dialogue with the characters- and during my first time watching it. If anyone in the theater can not guess what the final word of dialogue is- then..maybe hollywood has it right about the viewing audiance (sorry, ok, back to being serious...). The characters were not that good either, especialy Paul Newman's character's son. They had a good opportunity to examine the relationship between two brothers and the father-figure (both in Hank's blood family- and his relationship with Newman and his son), but it was missed or just not taken. The story was probably the worst part of the movie (ok, it might tie with dialogue) - the worst offending moment being the events leading up to the final meeting between Hanks and Newman's son. It was ridiculous considering what Hanks had done. I understand the feelings of those involved towards Newman's son, but that could not even come close to balancing out Hank's behavior. Overall, I enjoyed watching the movie, but I know a movie is lacking when I don't bother thinking about it 30 seconds after leaving the theater. It had good previews though... FD [/QUOTE]
