Sully is a movie that even now I'm confused why I didn't like it as much as I thought I would. Tom Hanks is a scene stealer as always and the story depicts not just the heroic actions of the pilot he's playing, but that of humanity as a whole. Overall, I think it just has to do with how the story is packaged. Many scenes felt repetitive, emotionless, or just plain insignificant sometimes. Sully as a character while strongly portrayed didn't really lend himself so much as a protagonist for me. Sully works in a practical since, yet as an original work or as a story it doesn't really offer much more then what you already know from the media.
