Movies Captain Phillips was a letdown

[TribalDrumz]

First time watching this movie in 4k, was highly disappointed in this . I fell asleep when they were under the cargo ship sneaking around .

Dam Pirates didn’t seem that hardcore to me for some reason

Did you guys like it ? I usually really like Tom hanks acting but this was stale

 

[SmoothPies]

I agree.

Pretty slow movie overall and the pirates just had no background or character development too which made it a little stale.

Can't remember the last time I liked a Tom Hanks movie TBH, it might even be not since the 90's

What about Road to Perdition?

Greyhound, Bridge Of Spies, Toy Story 3, The Terminal, Charlie Wilson's War


You never seen any of these?

Ahh good ones. Haven't seen the first and the last but loved TS3. Terminal maybe not so much. Can't remember if I saw Bridge of spies but looks familiar.

Isn't the story that the movie is bullshit? I'm sure I read somewhere that in reality, Phillips acted like a coward and the film is not accurate portrayal of his behaviour?

The terminal is not bad I'd say.

I highly recommend both, Greyhound got dumped to streaming during the early days of Covid lockdowns so its not well known which is a shame because its a great WW2 movie that deserved a full big screen release





Charlie Wilson's War is a frickin classic with Hanks and Phillip Seymour Hoffman at their absolute best, verbally dueling with each other all throughout the film, its one of Hoffman's best performances ever imo

I thought the climax when the snipers take down the pirates was well done. The scene were Phillips gets checked by the medics was great, too. The medic wasn't an actor but actually an active duty navy medic who treated Philipps like they would in real life.

I also listened to a podcast (Mike Drop Podcast) with Terry Houin, a Seal Team sniper who was one of the shooters for the mission. He made it clear that the shots they took weren't all that difficult. They wouldn't even attempt it if it wasn't a near 100% success chance.

^^^ epic meme !

Haven't seen that one. I loved Hanks growing up but can't watch his films anymore after finding out that he's a kid diddler.

 

[IDGETKTFO]

The best thing about that move is the meme's.

Those pirates were kinda weak, woulda been better with Kape as the HPIC.

It's a masterpiece and I don't use the word lightly.

Conrad Hall's cinematography alone makes it worth watching.

Thomas Newman's soundtrack alone makes it worth listening.

Probably Hanks' most underappreciated performance. A perfect example of less is more.

Bonus: Paul Newman doesn't have much screen time, but is amazing.

Adding Saving Mr Banks to this. He was a good Walt Disney imo
