great movie - great acting by Tom Hanks
Somali characters were real and brutal. realistic movie that was interesting to watch!
This is one of the best movies of the year. Tom Hanks did a excellent job in the lead role and the supporting cast made it all come together. If you hadnt seen it , you are missing a great movie
great movie.
Tom Hanks captures the emotions of Captain Phillips' experience perfectly. That catharsis at the end was tremendous and Oscar-worthy. As usual Mr Greengrass did a terrific job directing this story. It kept your hearts pounding for the entire ride, like you were deep in the action with a vested interest. That is a great storyteller and hence what you get is a great movie.
Very exciting and another Oscar award performance from Hanks.
I really enjoyed the movie. I like Tom Hanks. I am not a fan of violent movies and I enjoyed the suspense of this one.
A tense movie that captivats the audience from its very beginning with its suspensful story, great pace and fantastic performances from the cast. Tom Hanks delivers an incredible performance, probably his best since Cast Away. Captain Phillips will surely mark the return of Tom Hanks in the Academy Awards for Best Actor nominees and it can also make its way to the Best Picture nominees
Enjoyable movie!
Captain Phillips is an exciting ride about survival. It brings a scary reality of the dangers of pirate waters and being held hostage. Great acting 4/5!!!
WOW! Even though you know the outcome, this movie had me biting my cuticles! Very, very good.
This was the best movie that I have saw this year. Tom Hanks did a extremely excellent job on the lead role and the supporting cast really came thru. They made this into a edge of the seat movie.
EXCELLENT!
Just an awesome performance by Tom Hanks and cast, very,very suspenseful. My fingerprints are still in the arms of the chair which I was sitting. The best movie I have scene all year!
You could argue that I started to express interest in this movie after I first watched the SOUTH PARK episode "Fatbeard". That wasn't the only reason! Though, I wasn't aware of the whole situation with the Somali pirates until I first watched that episode back in February 2013, I discovered the movie and the true story behind sometime after. Plus, Tom Hanks is back in the game! The flaws I had with the movie were the pirates attempting to hijack the ship twice (as some people like me were wondering "why are they turning around and when will they come back?"), taking a long time to kidnap the captain, and having a hard time understanding their language. Regardless, CAPTAIN PHILLIPS is an edge
very engrossing and unbiased in depiction of both sides
The most intense, riveting, and thrilling film I have seen in a long time; coupled with another fantastic performance by Tom Hanks. The director and star of this film allow you to not only witness post traumatic stress on screen, but also experience it for yourself.
It was a very realistic movie and also interesting. I would go see it again. Very good acting and a modern day pirate movie.
Excellent movie, great story keeps your interest great acting
This movie was awesome! So powerful. Tom Hank's was amazing and even brought me to tears.
Absolutely loved this movie.
My husband and I both loved this movie, Tom Hanks was excellent in his role as were all the actors, first time I have sat through a whole movie in awhile without ducking out for snacks, didn't want to miss a thing
I think this movie is Oscar worthy for the film as well as Tom Hanks. It is pretty intense and a tad too long at 2 and half hours. Entertaining just the same, I highly recommend seeing this movie.
Good but not great. I really wanted to feel for the Somalia antagonists; wanted to know more about them. The film almost goes there (a few good attempts), but then pulls back. It would have been more interesting if they had taken the risk. I LOVE a layered antagonist with human qualities! Hanks was Hanks. He knows what he's doing, but he didn't deliver anything more in this film. I never really felt he was in jeopardy so I didn't get the adrenaline rush I expected through the climax. Not bad though.
Tom Hanks did a excellent acting job. The supporting cast was extremely well done. This all made for a entertainting and exciting movie to watch. Very fine plot that kept you on the edge of your seat. This is a must see movie.
loved the movie great action
I thought this movie was very entertaining. Tom Hanks gave a solid performance. The actors portraying the "pirates" were very believable. I would recommend this movie.
Tom Hanks is exceptional as usual very well done
Really an intense film, was impressed with the Somalian men as first time actors. Bery believable.
Great movie, keep you entertained throughout the entire movie...
So far, it's the best movie that I've seen this year. Tom Hanks really acted well, and the pirates were really bad. It's a perfect movie of the year.
Interesting and entertaining: it gives a glimpse of the duties and responsibilities of a captain.
Tom Hanks of course was great. He should get an Academy Award.
Such a thriller that keeps you on your seat from the beginning to the end.
Tom Hanks did a terrfic job in the lead role with lots of very excellent support from the rest of the cast. The movie held you in your seat with a very excellent ending that makes you realize how good life is and how dangerous it can be in some parts of the world.
I would rate this at 3.5 stars if I could. Good but not great. The director keeps the tension building right up to the end. I also thought the final scenes of the movie, focused on Hank's portrayal of Phillips, were highly realistic, and really ended the movie on an exceptional note.
Awesome movie! Loved it
My wife and I watched this and thought it was fantastic!! A great story and great acting!! We would recommend it highly!!
Excellent movie, great acting by Tom Hanks. The ending brought tears to my eyes.
Best movie we have seen for years.
I wouldn't buy this one, hence 3 stars. Worth watching though.
EXCELLENT MOVIE!! A MUST-SEE !!
If I could rate this movie higher I would. Unbelievable!!!! keeps you on the end of your seat and brings you to tears at end. great movie
This was an excellent movie and well acted. It is edge of your seat with an Oscar winning ending to Tom Hanks!
Excellent movie.......Tom Hanks performance is Oscar worthy.
Wow!! An excellent movie. Was on the edge of my seat throughout despite knowing how the conflict was resolved.
This was an excellent movie that kept me on the edge of my seat every minute...Tom Hanks was superb as always and I cried at the last part...very emotional.
In short - well worth watching.
Much better than "Gravity." Not a Tom Hanks fan but this is a very good movie.
one of the best movies I have watched... superb action, acting, scenes, emotions and overall content and story. it's not to be missed on the big screen.
