Summary: Outstanding performance by Hanks
Review: Tom Hanks portrayal in this film was exceedingly the best performance of his career. I was enthralled by the witticism and down home country boy feelings he accentuated.

Summary: One of the most overrated films of all time
Review: This film was the most popular with draft-dodging whiners from the 60's. No informed person would be impressed by this condescending, trite, corny, revisionist portrait of a quarter-century of American history. A generation of ignoramuses raised on MTV and the pseudointellectual crowd are its greatest advocates. The same people who consider John Kennedy a great president and Bill Clinton a man.

Summary: Tom Hanks is Forrest Gump
Review: Forrest Gump is not just a movie it is a history lesson covering famous american events from the 50's into the 90's. The thing i love the most about this film is forrest's down to earth and innocent personality. it's hard to beleive this is just a film and it is greatly down to Tom Hanks's exceptionally performance which I think can sit comfortable amongst the best ever. To me the music also plays a big part in the movie with classy tunes from the last 50 years. My favorite scenes in this movie are when Forrest begins to run for no reason and when forrest is introduced to forrest junior. If you haven't seen this movie then you cannot consider yourself a true movie expert, so go to your local rental shop and you will see what I mean.

Summary: The best movie of the 90's
Review: This has been the best movie that I have ever seen. I love the plot of the story. Even though I can't relate to it I feel as if I lived his life.Tom Hanks was an exceptional actor. He made me feel like he was really a man named Forrest Gump who lived in Alabama. His accent was very believing and his acting was superb. I don't think any other actor could have made me feel the way I did when I watched this movie. Every emotion came out while watching this film. I was overjoyed when Forrest and Jenny finally got married and heartbroken when she died. I thought the idea of the whole movie was fantastic and well thought out. I can't ever imagine any other movie touching my heart the way this one did. I have seen this movie a thousand times and I still cry every time when I watch the scene of Forrest visiting Jennys grave. Out of the entire film my favorite line is when Forrest says "I'm not a smart man, but I know what love is." I really like this line because it made the whole movie come together. Basically it was about a guy and his love for a woman who was his best friend, his only friend. I recommend this movie to anyone who loves a good laugh and cry.

Summary: THE GREATEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME
Review: Like the movie Airplane, every time I watch Forrest Gump over again there are always little things that I had not previously noticed. Except unlike Airplane, Forrest Gump combines its humor with real drama and moral statements. Every individual scene is a whole movie and moral in and of itself -- The Value of: Persistemce, Believing in Yourself, Enjoying the Simple Pleasures of Life, Forgiveness, Sacrifice, Duty, Honor, Following Through On Comittments, Helping Others.... I could go on and on. Superbly written and acted. I was ecstatic when the movie and Tom Hanks were appropriately recognized by Oscar.

Summary: Touching, hilarious, and totally effective drama.
Review: Tom Hanks works some movie magic in this heart-warming tale of a slightly retarded man who floats through life, changing others and helping everyone. Winston Groom's novel is much different than the film, but the movie is better as the novel is less sentimental and funny. Six Oscars; easily Zemeckis' best movie. It's an emotional movie experience that has rarely been depicted this well. Critics were apparently let down, but this is truly a great film.

Summary: sucked so bad ...
Review: ... come on baby this sucked so bad (sung to the tune of John Cougar's "hurt so good"). hollywood dragged out every corny stereotype and cliche for this most overrated film. and i've had enough of tom hanks getting paid $15 million per film to tell us how greedy and shallow we all are. give me a break. the only reason i gave it 2 stars was the splicing of actual footage from JFK, Nixon etc. and integrating them as part of the film which was funny at times. otherwise, "suck so bad ..."

Summary: Didn't Tom Hanks have anything better to do?
Review: Okay movie with a good performance by Hanks. If I could I'd give it 2 1/2 stars. It is hard to really like a movie when you can actually feel it trying to yank out your hearstrings like a Hollywood surgeon, though. Had it not been so obviously manipulative, this could have really soared. ...and talk about wasting Robin Wright. Zemeckis is the last person on Earth that should have been given this project.

Summary: #1 MOVIE OF ALL TIME
Review: This is by far the greatest movie of all time. If anybody doesn't like it I would go see a doctor because somthing is wrong. If anyone wants to see the best movie ever go see forrest gump, its rated pg-13 so the whole family can watch. I love it and know it by heart maybe because I have scene it 35 times. The movie has taught me a lot about life and this world would be a better place if it were full of people like forrest. I wish I was more like forrest because you can't dislike someone like him. The acting was spectacular and if I could give it more than 5 stars I would.
