This movie was 128 minutes, which was about 38 minutes too long for this movie. Conflict was also created where it wasn't needed, like Catherine Zeta-Jones almost self destructive nature with men, Frank Dixon's evil plans to get rid of Hanks character. The movie just gets more unbelievable at the end, like when he hails a cab, and he gets a cab just like that! Twice! Now, I've never been to The Big Yorkple, or whatever they call it, but that is quite a feat. And another thing: Viktor (Hanks) was from or around the Russian area, but yet we only see him attempting to get drunk once. He should have been blinding drunk the whole show for it to be believable, with breath that can glow in the dark.
But the part I don't understand the most is where he manages to go back in time to the 1980's to kill the mother of a boy that will lead the resistance to the machines.
... Oh, wait, that was The Terminator. I get confused sometimes, sorry.
It does have some cute moments, and the comedy is certainly good too. Not GOOD good, but good.
Anyways, I'd give it a 6 out of 10 movie quality units, or as some people like to call them, stars.
Spiderman 2 will be showing in our town next week, and I'm sure you know that only my opinion matters and you are depending on me to tell you what to think of it, as all of the tubs of Crisco in the world can't help Ebert to get a keener view of the movie world compared to me. I suppose it would help him burn hotter and longer in a fire, though. Wow, when did I turn egotisical and mean? Sorry people, I'll cut back, and tell Ebert to do the same.
I just can't stop myself!
