Question:
Without meaning to be facetious, the main point of my review would be...
"Well, that was fun."
An engaging story acted, shot and told with non-flashy skill, very easy to watch... the cinema was full of transfixed individuals. One of its greatest strengths was that it never felt derivative, knowing or showy. A little on the slow side but otherwise... pure entertainment, no more, no less.
Looking forward to this. Thanks for the info.

Amen brother.
Good stuff - will watch this tonight. Saw the trailer when I went to see Two Towers.
I'm looking forward to seeing this, read the book it's based on years ago and it's a truly amazing story, well worth getting hold of. One of those books that you really can't put down as you want to find out what he's getting up to next. The film looks good from the trailer.
Q for 1960's kids: Does this movie have any Dave Clark Five music in it ?
Just watched this tonight. Thouroughly enjoyable film. A rare Spielberg movie with no special effects in it!
A great story all the better for it being based on a true story. Di Caprio is very good in the lead role (this from someone who thinks he is usally wooden as they come) and Hanks is also good as a supporting actor this time after so many lead roles.
Not a film that would stand up to many repeated viewings and without any real action scenes but one that leaves you feeling that you've just been entertained for 2 hours.
8/10
