Tom Hanks's recent venture into wildlife documentary narration for 'The Americas' has drawn mixed reactions from viewers. The series, which explores various regions of the Americas, premiered on BBC One but received notable backlash on social media. Many fans felt Hanks did not meet expectations, sensing his performance was more about his star power than genuine connection. Complaints highlighted intrusive background music and a script-driven narration. Hanks, excited about narrating the series, expressed eagerness to learn, portraying a positive outlook despite the criticism.
Tom Hanks should stick to acting and leave narration of nature programmes to professionals like David Attenborough.
Background music is way too intrusive and Tom Hanks sounds like he is phoning in the narrative ... literally ... reading it from a script.
I knew that I would be learning an awful lot. I wanted to be on the frontline. I feel lucky to be a part of this extraordinary project.
It's just glorious to be a part of that.
