I went in thinking that this would be just another Superman film. Yet another movie where the good guy knocks out the bad guy with his superhuman strength. Well, I was surprised. Very surprised. It has a serious plot and seems to capture the predicament the world faces these days. An evil country, heavily armed to the teeth with an American contractor, is about to exterminate a poor neighbor who has no modern arms at all. Superman, despite all odds, enters the room, so to speak. He overturns the battle against the evil country and also exposes the American contractor.

Very well acted. Shows his childhood and life during his formative years, as well as his Hollywood period, and how he got involved in politics before moving on to showing well known historical events.

Sums up the modern Saudi culture. I have been to the Kingdom there almost two dozen times over the past three decades. The movie brings out the contradictions that constitute the culture and social mores of the Kingdom very well. One of Tom Hanks best films.

Very depressing. But such is the life of those who join the submarine service. The true story was brought to life in the movie to the extent that I felt like I was in the sunken sub with the doomed crew. A great film about a very tragic tale.

Absolutely incredible. I saw it in my late teens in a drive-in with my family. The dialogue was impossible to forget. And so was the carnage on the battlefield. Very few movies make such an impact on me.
