Review of Cast Away

'Way too long' is the first thing that comes to mind..

If you're going to have a one-person movie, no matter what else you do, don't let that person be annoying, and boy oh boy, does Tom Hanks annoy me!

From a logistic point of view, I find it incredible he could live that long. It seems impossible, but then again if he died there wouldn't be much of an ending, and what's shocking about that ... Even when he gets back home, HE'S STILL BORING! He's just not a fun guy.

I felt sorry for the volleyball and was glad when he escaped. I would have done a lot to get away from Gilligan..sorry, I mean Tom.

Seriously, there was good cinematography. The island probably would have been paradise if the population were more agreeable.

Now I can see why Russell Crowe won Best Actor for 'Gladiator'. Having seen all the nominees (except Geoffrey Rush) I can honestly say the Academy made a right choice for a change.
