I was surprised that it didn't suck. I was expecting DiCaprio to put up a whiny see-through performance but was more than pleasantly surprised by a good story, great pace, and better than fair acting. The attention to detail was good, bringing the period to life, but that's an expected talent of Spielberg. It's a good tale, so enjoy it for what it is.

Fascinating story. I was in awe of the stunts this guy pulled. DiCaprio is very good and Hanks, annoying accent and all, is also good. Definitely worth watching.
