Snider 4/4 "In 50 years people will remember, talk about and admire The Terminal as they do both It’s a Wonderful Life and Mr. Smith Goes To Washington. "   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress A- "Within ten minutes, I was hooked; within thirty, I was rapt; by the last act, I knew that the hands of a master had played me like a piano. It's beautiful."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 3/4 "...very smooth and on course...has the appropriate touch of sentimentality and reflection to make this spirited vehicle the suitable one for takeoff"   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng B "Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks serve up a heaping helping of Capracorn...and in their hands it's a reasonably palatable, though hardly gourmet, dish."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 4/5 "The Terminal is a light-hearted and thoroughly entertaining film about the joys that can be ours when we slow down, practice deep listening, and cultivate the art of patience."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/4 "A fine, enjoyable, uplifting fantasy that's suitable for viewing by all members of the family."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 2.5/4 "A frothy ditty about survival in unlikely circumstances."   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 3/5 "Airport-purgatory story from Spielberg and Hanks is a minor work from two master craftsmen."   Netflix   James Rocchi 3/4 "The subtle implications of Viktor Navorski's inimitable status are pregnant with charm."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 7/10 "Spielberg seems to be letting the audience know that he's not trying to be terribly serious this time, so just sit back and enjoy the show."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 6/10 "This film is the very definition of 'light' entertainment."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo "There isn't a bad performance in the film, and with "The Terminal," Spielberg reminds us that human drama can be just as interesting as spectacle."   Light Views   John Larsen 6/10 "Steven Spielberg's most Spielberg-y film in years."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick 3.5/4 "'Spielberg logra una fantasía sentimental, romántica y sumamente divertida que deja una amplia sonrisa en la boca y la idea de que la vida puede ser mucho menos complicada.'"   Moviola   Jorge Avila Andrade 4.5/5 "Attention, Academy voters: This film needs to win for Production Design. Also, Tom Hanks is God."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 2.5/4 "It's sad that Spielberg seems content to engage in crude slapstick—the mischievous diversions of a crowd-pleaser."   Slant Magazine   Keith Uhlich 3/4 "Spielberg and Hank turn this 'delay' into a delight."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest B- "An occasionally inspired, somewhat confused, utterly watchable film featuring some of the biggest stars in Hollywood."   FilmStew.com   Larry Carroll B- "makes its audience suffer one too many layovers, but Hanks and Spielberg's technical crew keep it aloft"   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 3/5 "There's a thin line between fable and twaddle, and this feel-good trifle veers dangerously close to the latter."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 3.5/4 "Spielberg applies his so-called 'magic touch' to the picture and produces something genuinely charming and sweet."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan A- "Nathanson's rich mix of wit and sentiment culminates in a moment so moving that it blooms within you as you watch."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow "Hanks’ overdone slapstick antics and awful accent ... keep this featherweight farce from taking flight."   Lessons of Darkness   Nick Schager 2/5 "É uma pena que, gradualmente, deixe de ser um interessante estudo de personagem e se transforme em um drama tipicamente hollywoodiano."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 2/5 "There are worse movies out there than The Terminal, but few that feel quite so... unnecessary."   Film Threat   Pete Vonder Haar "'The Terminal' is like a private jet that has had too much baggage...it looks sleek and beautiful on the outside but it is simply too loaded down to ever quite take off."   Critic Doctor   Peter Sobczynski 2.5/5 "So cute and sweet that any insightful observations will be lost to real-world audiences."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 3/5 "Amiable if rather toothless fable."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves C+ "…as pleasantly adrift as its hero, a modestly enjoyable sojourn that has no idea where it should be going."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux B "The story is engaging and funny, but it does fall apart somewhat in the final act."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten B- "The draw for The Terminal lay solely on the shoulders of its star."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 3/5 "It's a recommendable movie if only for the flurry of solid laughs that come early and often, but that's about it."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg B+ "Holds several small treasures and one crown jewel of a performance by Tom Hanks."   Eclipse Magazine   Sean O'Connell B- "Wobbles between plotlines and characters that make emotional sense and ones that don't… remains passably entertaining, but doesn't bear much thinking about afterwards."   Decent Films Guide   Steven D. Greydanus 10/10 "A heart-tugging, crowd-pleasing yet light-hearted human drama with refreshing comic undertones."   Modamag.com   Susan Granger 1.5/4 "A tedious schmaltz-fest that feels more like the work of the cinematically challenged Ephron than the supremely gifted Spielberg."   Reel.com   Timothy Knight 2/4 "Chicken soup for the narcoleptic and the easily distracted."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw 3.5/4 "It's the type of movie that would easily entertain any viewer."   Oscar Guy   Wesley Lovell  (1 - 50) of 52 OFCS Rating: 63% Fresh Page   12   > Next
