This movie gets an F from me.

1. Paul Greengrass does not know how to hold a steady shot. Yeah, I understand he's looking for realism and tension but goodness gracious hold the shot!!!!

2. There was a couple and a family of six who wouldn't stop talking throughout the movie, so I had to leave halfway through.

3. That was the performance that everyone was raving about?? Really that Tom Hanks??

Your number 3 gets an F. The last 5 minutes of the movie was some of the most unbelievable acting, EVER...

Wait...you leave halfway through a movie and still grade it, and one of your reasons for giving the movie an F is because of a family sitting next to you? LOL

5 mins out of the 2 hrs that I had to sit through watching Paul Greengrass seasick steady camera work? I might as well read Captain Phillips book which this is based on.

I'll probably watch it again when it hits bluray and my opinion might change but again Paul Greengrass directed it so I doubt that the very least.

Great acting..

Shows mundane activities on the ship too so you really feel that the captain is a regular guy and not some super captain

Isn't good acting supposed to be believable?

Not sure if posted. I am sure it is not surprising to most that the story might be exaggerated.

Crew members: ‘Captain Phillips’ is one big lie

“Phillips wasn’t the big leader like he is in the movie,” says one crew member, who, for legal reasons, spoke with The Post anonymously. He worked very closely with Phillips on the Maersk Alabama and was alarmed by his behavior from the beginning. Phillips, he says, had a bad reputation for at least 12 years prior, known as a sullen and self-righteous captain.

“No one wants to sail with him,” he says.

After the hijacking, 11 crew members have sued Maersk Line and the Waterman Steamship Corp. for almost $50 million, alleging “willful, wanton and conscious disregard for their safety.” Phillips is a witness for the defense.
“The crew had begged Captain Phillips not to go so close to the Somali coast,” said Deborah Waters, the attorney who brought the claim. “He told them he wouldn’t let pirates scare him or force him to sail away from the coast.”

‘REAL ARROGANT’

Phillips had taken command of the Maerskin late March 2009. Left for him, says the crew member, was a detailed anti-piracy plan now used by all ships per the International Maritime Organization. Should pirates get too close, the crew should cut the lights and power and lock themselves below deck.

“He didn’t want anything to do with it, because it wasn’t his plan,” says the crew member. “He was real arrogant.” Phillips says he knows nothing about such a plan.
Over this three-week period, 16 container ships in the same region had been attacked by pirates, and eight had been taken hostage.

As the film opens, Hanks, as Phillips, is seen assiduously tending to safety protocols. “Let’s tighten up security!” he orders. “I want everything closed, locked, even in port.”

It is the reason I won't watch it. I do not view Captain Phillips as a hero. The heroes were the Navy Seal snipers.

Just watched this.

Turns out the directors forgot to insert the original ending in the film! No worries though, I found it:
