Summary: mikeg frpm moviemax
Review: Ok, ok. This is a good picture .And Tom Hanks is definately at the top of the bar. And any true Tom Hanks fan must add this to their collection. I just have to ask you, have you seen the picture SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION. Yes ?, Well which picture do you think was better. ? Right. So why did GUMP steal the Best Picture Academy Award that year? I know I need to let this go, but this is the only thing I have against this fine picture.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Not for the little kiddies
Review: After looking over pages of reviews there seems to be something missing in the assesments both of those who loved this movie and those who hated it (I couldn't seem to find anyone in the middle)

Forest Gump is unquestionably one of the most technical masterpeices of blended footage you have ever seen or ever likely to see again. It is a feel good movie, especially for those old enough-like myself, who remember these events first hand.

The movie is true to the times in which it is set, but this also means it includes the bad with the good so there is more profanity, drug use, and sexual situations than some might be comfortable with. A certain level of maturity is required to realy apreciate this film and the PG 13 rating is an approriate guide as topics include adult friendships, God, life purpose, incest, HIV/AIDs, and death, both from disease and in battle.

It takes an awfully bright man to act like an idiot and Tom Hanks shines in what may well be the best role of his career. It rates 6 stars are being outstandingly different form the usual hollywood fare.

The two disc set is a must for the special features on production

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Run and Watch it !

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Long, drawn out, doesn't follow book
Review: After reading the book, I wonder how they came up with this movie. Forrest Gump went to outer space and crash landed back on Earth on a deserted island. He got pulled into the space program for throwing his Medal of Honor at the capital and hitting a Senator in the head with it. Anyone who can sit and watch Tom Hanks act like this retard for more than 15 minutes at a time has got to be in a coma.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Fantasy
Review: Loved this movie because it is about honestly,loyality and non judgement.People who don't get this movie i guess feel those ideals are too high but in a life time they are the only things that can really count.So do yourself a favour and drop the ego and enjoy the masterful fantasy that is Forest Gump.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Shut Up... I'm Trying To Watch The Best Movie In The World!
Review: I wish the movie had never ended. Truly an Oscar winner. The people who don't like this movie don't know what they're talking about. I wish they made a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and al the way to google. If you buy this movie you will ner regret it.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: strange bus stop man accosts civilians, wins Oscar.
Review: This movie is like a spoiled child: everyone involved gave it everything it could ever possibly need or want, and yet still it ends up annoying you enough for you to want to put a pillow over it's face and blame it on cot death.

seriously, there is stuff to like in this film. Tom Hanks and Gary Sinise both give good performances(Sinise especially for acting like a Nam weathered loon), the effects are cool, though oddly out of place in a sentimental comedy drama like this, and it does have that hollywood blockbuster polish that is so attractive to us cinematic crows.

but something dark lies beneath, and this is the way they have purposely placed a right wing cowardly subtext throughout the entire movie, which delivers a message to all viewers which is just WRONG WRONG WRONG. Witness: Forrest solves his problems, and those of a thousand other people, by RUNNING AWAY VERY QUICKLY.
he becomes a good soldier by TELLING THE SARGEANT WHAT HE WANTS TO HEAR.
in the entire movie, ONLY THE HIPPIE GETS AIDS and finally
BY BEING INCESSANTLY HAPPY ABOUT EVERY DETAIL OF HIS EXISTENCE,EVERYTHING TURNS OUT ALRIGHT. this is all so unbelievably terrible and bad it serves only to make me hate the Oscars for giving not giving it to Pulp Fiction, which is an infinitely better movie.

PS my friend and fellow Horseman El Satanico is right, a man who spends all day at a bus stop telling people unbelievable stories has to be pretty sauced.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Worst movie with a budget ever made
Review: This is one of the most ridiculous and over-hyped movies of all time, and the sole reason I stopped liking Tom Hanks as an actor. Ridiculous accents, too many special effects, unbelievable story.

My pick for the worst movie of all time.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: why did this beat pulp fiction?
Review: Would someone please answer the question above? i had to eat a whole box of chocolates after watching this film to make myself feel better, but it only reminded me of the film. So did what i left in the toilet afterwards. If you havent seen this film count yourself lucky.
So if your family is looking to get out a film and want to get this, deny them. Get out blue velvet and watch them cry for all the right reasons, not tom hanks and his web of lies. Cos lets face it, it was pretty obvious that forest was drunk.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ??
Review: Didn't anyone get this movie?
I have been watching the reviews before and after I wrote mine,
and wonder if satire is lost on everyone.
The negative comments I see are because it was taken at face value.
