Tom Hanks is a master at the craft and shares an enlightening and unique perspective on movie making and life.
Tom Hanks is a master of perfectly playing an unbelievably dull character -- with just enough subtle quirk that a half-awake audience can project their half-baked sensibilities onto.
No different than the New Yorker, that wafts on for ages -- that only someone looking too hard can find merit in.
Yes. Is that not worthy of respect?
I'm not saying he's a John McCarthy or Linus Torvalds. Many people can be masters, not all masters have to pivot the world.
Of the ones I've seen, the only Hanks movie I really like is The Money Pit.
