Although Tom Hanks is not a super star I think that his performance was amazing. I don't think that many actors could carry a whole movie by themselves like he did. What's your opinion?

Hi, adouglass5. Tom Hanks is a great movie character. I loved him in the movie, "Splash". He was at his best then. I have not seen him in this movie that you are referring to, but I know that he is a great character!

If you like Tom Hanks then Cast Away is a must see. He carries the movie all by himself. His costar is Wilson, a soccer ball.

Hi, The movie cast away entirely hinged on the character Tom Hanks played. The movie totally lacked purpose. The first half of the movie is somewhat over-extended and irrelevant. It is Tom Hanks who was the center of attraction there. The most wonderful acting skill ever demonstrated by Tom Hanks was in films like Philadelphia and Forest Gump. There were other movies too, for example Apollo 13, that went good. The movies where he plays a role seem to have him as their centers of gravity. He is just too good to be a super star. He is far above and beyond that. He is a true artist. Thanks God bless you

I agree but I think his superstardom comes and goes. One minute he's on top and then nothing for awhile. He was great in The Davinci Code and Angels and Demons. I don't think Castaway was supposed to have a purpose. Maybe it was just another great chick flick. I know it brought tears to my eyes. Thanks for the input.

The only thing I can say is this: Wilsooonnnnn! lol Kidding aside, the movie Cast Away is an unforgettable movie for me basically because of the way Tom Hanks' acting really affected me. I wish more actors were like him.

I couldn't agree more. He was definitely amazing. His costar was great too but a little on the quiet side.

I love Tom Hanks' acting too. I've watched a number of his movies like The Terminal, Forrest Gump, Angel and Demons, The Castaway, Catch Me If You Can and the Toy Story series. Anybody remember Big, that's one of my favorites. Next would be Splash, Sleepless in Seattle and You've Got Mail. You can place Tom Hanks in drama, romance, comedy, and even in children's movies and he would still perform the role exceptionally.

I think Tom Hanks was at his best in cast away.The panache with which he carried out the role was awesome.I think credit must me given to the script writer and director of the movie for planning and executing such an incredible movie.The emotions that Tom Hanks expresses while he is stranded on the island especially while talking to his ball,Mr. Wilson is simply out of this world.Three cheers for Tom Hanks!!
