The Terminal [Full Frame]It's a chaming movie- but 3-stars nonetheless. . .decent plot. . .but Zeta-Jones (who is easy on the eyes) is simply an awful actress. Tom Hanks works as the everyman-trapped-in-airport scenario. . . ¿Te ha parecido útil o inútil? Tope

The Terminal [Full Frame]A wonderful movie! Tom Hanks deserved an Oscar for this performance. He plays the part of an Eastern Eupopean man named Victor Navorski from the fictional country of Krakoshia. While in flight to NYC his country is taken over by rebels in coup and his visa into the United States is taken away leaving him stranded in JFK airport's international terminal without a place to fly home to nor authorization to visit the U.S. The head security is a punctilious pecker of a bureacrat who leaves him- unable to speak english- to waste for months on end in the terminal, with no money, no food and no place to stay. His true hope is that he can get Victor to leave onto US soil so some other agency will arrest him. Victor however doesn't leave and decides to wait even when given opportunities to fudge the truth and gain passage into the United States. In the mean time, Victor lives on condiments and crackers... washes in the sinks and finds a home in a portion of the terminal that is being repaired. Within days however he figures out unique ways to survive- like returning the carts that people use for shopping to receive the quarter deposit. (which he quickly exchanges for cheeseburgers at the BK). The head of security- the Peckerhead- starts to become iritated with Victor's ingenuity. He hires someone to return the carts, taking away Victor's money. But he's unphased, and ends up getting meals from the food cart guy for gaining information about a love interest the guy has. Over the months he learns how to speak english, gets involved with a emotionally confused flight attendant (played by Catherine Zeta Jones) who's dating a married man and gets a job with a construction crew working on the terminal. He becomes a local hero to the terminal workers when he calms a man down who's having his dad's heart medication confiscated by the Peckerhead bureaucrat,-and through recollection of the rules on the forms he had been reading to learn english- lies for the man and says they are for his "goat" which would make them legal to carry. Throughout the story you are warmed by his goodness and perplexed by what it is in the Planter's peanuts can he had been carrying- he say's it's "jazz" in the can. In the end it is revealed he was only visiting New York to fulfill a promise he made to his dead father who had gotten the autographs of every famous jazz musician in a picture he had, except one. Victor flew to America, went through all these troubles to simply put the last signature in the can for his father- to keep his promise. This movie says so much about the human spirit, about the ingenuity of the immigrants who come here and take nothing for granted and about doing what is right- and keeping your word. I highly recommend this movie to everyone and anyone. ¿Te ha parecido útil o inútil? Tope

The Terminal [Full Frame]A great movie! Tom does it again. The wonderful tale of a man who comes here and is stripped of his nationality and money and is confined to JFK airport. A tribute to the immigrant, the character of those who come to this country and to those who remember what America really is. America does not promise success and riches equal to everyone else--it promises the opportunity and freedom to make the best for yourself (all dependent on how hard you'll work to succeed). A fair trade. ¿Te ha parecido útil o inútil? Tope

The Terminal [Full Frame]Very entertaining movie and appropriate for all ages. Could've skipped the Zeta-Jones Tom Hanks relationship. It added nothing to the story.But it was a good tale, funny in parts and Hanks is a very good actor. Glad I saw it! ¿Te ha parecido útil o inútil? Tope

The Terminal [Full Frame]Overall, a pretty good movie. The story lines were generally entertaining, and there was far more comedy than I was expecting. It has been awhile since I've seen a movie in the theaters where the whole audience was laughing loudly, and the Terminal had them laughing quite regularly. The worst part of the entire movie had to have been the contrived relationship between Hanks and Zeta-Jones. It was unnecessary, and not very believable, if you ask me. Despite this, though, it was a good movie overall, and safe to take most of the family to. ¿Te ha parecido útil o inútil? Tope

Tom Hanks and the rest of the amiable cast make this bumpy ride worth sitting through. Tope  |
The Terminal [Full Frame]
kinda good a lot strange... living in an airport terminal is a tad bit far fetched and boring...
