Customer Reviews of The Terminal (Full Screen Edition)

Viktor Navorski(Hanks)is from the Republic of Karhozi. He's come to America and has landed in the JFK airport. While he was in the air his country was overtaken by local rebels. His passport is no longer legal and he can't get a visa. He can't enter the U.S. without a visa, and he can't go home because his passport is no longer recognized by the United States since his goverment isn't functional. He's a small crack in a huge system and all of this is explained to him from Security Director Frank Dixon(Tucci). He can do one thing and that is stay in the airport. He can't leave the terminal until peace is established and the U.S. will recognize his leaders.

Viktor doesn't understand it at first but quickly catches on. He has no money, because his countries money is no good. He's given a few provisions by the airport, but he quickly loses them. So he does what Dixon says, and he stays in the terminal.

He quickly starts to learn in the terminal. He eats crackers with ketchup and mustard for a while until he finds an easy way to get money. He lives in gate 67 which is closed for repairs. He fins an alternative source for food when he meets Enrique(Diego) a gourmet food supplier who quickly gives him food for information about one of the woman in the airport that he loves. They become friends along with Enriques other comrades Ray and Gupta(Henley & Pallana).

While in the Terminal Viktor gets a job with the construction crew. He starts earning good money and he meets a woman that he quickly is enchanted by. Amelia(Jones) is a flight attendant at the airport. She is in there every couple of weeks and is dating a married man. She isn't happy with her life and Viktor tries to change that. There friendship develops and we find out the reason that Viktor came to America. I won't reveal anymore of the story because I don't want to spoil anymore.

Tom Hanks is the man in this movie. He delivers the best performance of 2004 to this date with the character Viktor Navorski. His accent is fantastic and he even changes the normal way that he walks to play him. Like he did in Philadelphia, he becomes the character and you no longer see Tom Hanks. That's he's one of the best in the business, because of the so many memorable characters he's been. This is one of the best he's done and he has to be the early Oscar favorite.

This is a limited role for Catherine Zeta Jones. She doesn't get a lot of screen time, but when she's on it she's memroable. It's a totally different look for one of the worlds most beautiful woman and she pulls it off. Some say this role is a waste of the Oscar winners talents, but they are so wrong. There isn't a trace of her heavy Welsh accent at all in the movie. She plays Amelia to perfection. She is easily one of the most talented actresses in the world and she doesn't disappoint.

Only Spielberg could have made this movie. Everything is perfectly done in it. You feel like you are in an actual airport. Everything is authentic. This is one of the best sets ever done in a movie. The shots are great and this movie is so well made. Spielberg is a perfectionist and you can tell that by how well made this is.

The story in this moive is awesome. It's a great tale of love and frienship. The theater I was in had people cheering and some were crying. It does drag at times, but it's not that bad. There are a lot of characters and all are developed well. We see a complete change in a man, and it couldn't have been done well in a 90 minute movie.

I love this moive. In my opinion it's the best movie of the year to this date. I've seen it twice and the left the theater smiling and happy each time. It's another classic from two of the best in the business with Hanks and Spielberg. Go see The Terminal and prepare yourself for a great time.

This is a very entertaining movie
The Terminal is a very funny and touching movie. Tom Hanks gives an excellent performance as Viktor Navorski. He is a man who gets stranded in the terminal of the JFK airport while his European home country of Krakosia is at war following a military coup. Stanley Tucci is so great as director of security and the person who denies Navorski entrance into New York City. Catherine Zeta Jones is perfectly cast as Tom Hanks' romantic interest flight attendant Amelia Warren. They have very good on screen chemistry. I loved how Navorski makes himself at home in the airport. One of the funniest parts of the movie is when he retrieves carts around the airport and collects the change to make some money. He also gets a job doing construction work at the airport I loved how Navorski makes friends with everyone at the airport terminal like the janitor, baggage claim person, and even the person who loads the food trays on the airplanes. I loved how Tom Hanks helps a shy friend win the heart of a female employee by asking her questions for him. I really enjoyed this movie.

Great movie... just too long!
Wow. This is an amazing movie. One of Tom Hank's best, and one of Catherine Zeta-Jones's worst. She is the only disappointment in this movie. She is normally I very good actress but in this movie she is just... I don't know...her and Tom Hanks don't really click. Her portrayal of a somewhat ditzy, emotionally distraught flight attendant is wimpy and a little boring. The three people who befriend Tom Hanks in this movie, the janitor and the other two people... who he plays poker with... have great supporting roles and their careers should sky-rocket now. So...if it is such a great movie why do I only give a a four star rating? BECAUSE IT IS SOOOOOOOO LONG! It is about two hours and eight minutes long which doesn't seem terribly long (especially after seeing Return of the King twice in one day), but it is almost like there could be twelve endings...and it seems like its almost over then BAM! a pan to another scene. That is the only reason it gets four stars. But go see it anyways. Its one of those movies that, even though you might now watch it all the time... it is one that you will love watching a couple times a semester ( I'm a Jr.High student and movies are like... one of my favorite things in the world). Anyway great flick, go see it, and when it comes out buy it.
