Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: It may possibly be that Mr. Spielberg has chosen gigantic size and unlimited quantity as his comedy method in the awareness that he has no gift whatsoever for small-scale comic conceits.
Rotten: Unworkable farce, it maybe, but it is also blessed with the buzz of brilliance.
Customer Reviews
No Subtitles!!!! Beware
I rented this movie the other day to watch on a flight. If you haven't seen the movie, a large portion of it is in Japanese (and some German) and NONE of those scenes have any subtitles. I even turned on the Closed Captioning and nothing popped up. So, be warned, you may miss a lot of this movie if you rent it.
