Movie Review: The Terminal
My mom got this for a buck at a garage sale a long time ago, and I finally decided to watch it. I knew it had gotten some bad reviews, but whatever, I don't always agree with reviewers, and I had it here, so why not watch it?Unfortunately, it ends with the ending. I was going along, thinking 'i don't know why this got such bad press. it's okay.' But the ending was so stupid! And that's the impression I walked away with - that it had been a supreme waste of time. (Well, not quite. I wasn't doing anything else and I wanted to watch a movie I hadn't seen before and this was what we had. If I had watched it a different time, though, I may have thought it was a waste of time.) Plus it was too long. (What's with movies all being over 2 hours nowadays?) So if you ever choose to see it, I recommend turning it off at about 1 hr 45 min, then call me and I'll fill you in.

i don't remember too much, but i do recall getting to the end and thinking "ok", and that was about all.
Sad. Usually you're good with a Hank's film.
I've seen it, and I completely agree. But I was expecting it to be good b/c I thought it was getting pretty good reviews at the time (when it was just out on video). Sad...
