If this movie has already been listed here, I couldn't find it.
How would you rate 'The Post' with Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks?

Steven Spielberg directed this and I thought he did a good job with it.
Tom Hanks showed in this movie that he doesn't always play Tom Hanks (which we already knew, I guess).
He was outstanding as a big player in the newspaper business. I think he might have done better with this character than Jason Robards in "All the Presidents Men," in fact.
Meryl Streep did a good job, in my opinion, of showing what it was like for a woman to be thrust into an important job as her first real job outside the home in the early 1970s. She was the head of the Washington Post during the Pentagon Papers and Watergate stories.
8/10

Good story. Could have been told in a more interesting manner, I think.

Is this as good as All the President's Men?

Is this as good as All the President's Men?That's a really good question. With the period of time between movies, that is difficult to answer, though they are very different movies.

Is this as good as All the President's Men?Not by a vast distance. The Post is competent but depressingly bland. 4/10

6/10, well directed but in the end just kind of bland. I guess it's okay, but nothing more.

10/ 10 Hanks and Streep were fantastic. After viewing I realized it would make an ideal companion piece to All The President's Men.
