What a dreadful waste of some quality actors. I could hardly believe how corny and weak the plot was. Sentimental, unbelievable and utterly predictable. The only 'Feel Good' factor I got was when (finally!) it ended. 2 out of 10 just because Hanks convinced with his Russian accent.

The Terminal truely is a great film! It shows a side of Tom Hanks that fans have never seen before. In my opinion, the reason this movie is as good as it is, is because it's portraying what movie-lovers have never seen before. It's one of a kind. I rate this 9 out of 10, simply because of the style, excellent acting, and it's clever way of keeping you watching till the very end! I say watch this, and see for yourself!

A great film, many moments of laughter and an film which actually picks faults with 'Uncle Sam'. Shame that the Catherine Zeta-Jones love interest was included because it added little value and added an extra 30 minutes to the film. I think 7/10 as it wasn't amazing, however it was very good.

The film was great. despite negative views from the media. The film was a real feel good film and the actors performances were fantastic especially that cleaner in the airport. I would give it 8/10, the only thing letting it down was the chessy ending with the jazz singer

The movie was incredible. I think Tom Hanks ability to change his whole self into Viktor Navorski is incredible and believable. The movie combined comedy, sorrow, love and friendship without being contrived or predictable. The ending was a refreshing change and made a stronger similarity with real life than Hollywood romance - thankfully. Definately a film I would recommend, you'll be pleased you took the time to watch it. 10/10!

I think this movie was very well done, both on the part of the actors and the director. I thought the end was sweet and happily less than predictable, particularly regarding Amelia. Navorski's determination and dedication to family was one of the best messages I've seen in a movie in a long time. I give it a 9.
