Seriously. What the hell? You're sinking to the bottom of the barrel when you hate on Tom Hanks of all people. Christ. Not thinking he's the greatest thing ever =/= Tom Hanks sucks.

[Dyne]

agreed.
he played a retarded shrimp boat captain for gods sake. you can't argue with that.

[Frogacuda]

He was good in Ladykillers. In fact, he was the one thing that made the movie watchable. Without him there wouldn't be a movie.

I liked Ladykillers. Whenever The Coens do those homages (or in this case a remake) of those old 30s screwball comedies people always hate on them (Intolerable Cruelty, Ladykillers, Hudsucker Proxy, etc). I don't know why that is. Maybe they're expecting realism in the dialogue where it was never intended?

Please. He's like an omen for boring movies.

Tom Hanks is pretty terrible, so I don't imagine I'll ever come into contact with this flick.

I just thought I'd be the first to congratulate you on recovering from your serious head injury.

He carried over two hours of screen time on his own in Cast Away, something very few actors could do well. I think the situation here is that atleast one person in every forum has to hate a popular actor simply because other people like him.

i think a lot of people are complaining about Tom Hanks because he just isn't right for the role. All some of the reviewers at Canne would talk about was how distracting his shitty haircut was. Isn't the character supposed to be a dashing young man, almost Indiana Jones-ish? That's not Hanks. I say these things not having seen the movie yet though, so who knows.

That's not really the picture the book painted. Robert Langdon seemed like more of an older Sean Connery looking guy to me.

[Diff-chan]

I would say Indiana Jones-ish without the athleticism. Sean Connery isn't a bad description.

Langdon is supposed to be the sort of charming, sexy professor that makes the girls in his class wet. Tom Hanks, for all his pros, is not that guy.

[Revoltor]

I watched some of League of their Own while doing the laundry one day, he alone keeps the movie from descending into a smelly, bleeding pit of enflamed feministic tripe. Well, even he couldn't prevent it, but he staves it off for around 3/4th of the movie. The guy is awesome, fuck the haters.

THERE'S NO CRYING IN TNL!!


Oh and hey, did anyone here like National Treasure? It's the other white meat...er, Indiana Jones ripoff.

[Drewbacca]

Sahara was more of an Indiana Jones rip off.
