Forrest Gump

Pros: Realistic, great music, huge time period covered
Cons: Strong emotional response guaranteed

This review will change your perception of me...just saying! Many people that I know could not stand this movie and I have heard it ridiculed repeatedly. For me, it was a work of art. There is NOTHING about it that bored me! It is a masterpiece. It is ...

Pros: Heart warming, incredibly fun to watch!
Cons: The good moments lasted a little too short.

The story of forrest gump is based on a book. The story is about a man who isn't bright but turns out to be a decent guy who does extraordinary things like be a war hero, a millionaire, and meet 3 presidents in the whitehouse (JFK, Johnson, and Nixon). ...

Pros: Restores faith in life and humanity
Cons: Can be a wee bit sentimental

Forrest Gump is a very unusual movie in some ways. It’s very difficult to pinpoint the presence of a particular theme. It may even be Forrest Gump has no theme and is merely a story. I also found it interesting that a movie could glorify living life in ...

Pros: Hanks' performance; Zemeckis's direction; script.
Cons: It beat out Pulp Fiction for Best Picture.

Aside from all of the moral philosophy, the biggest plot point of Forrest Gump is that if the title character had really existed, he would be the most important person of our time. Not only did he invent Elvis Presley's highly censored leg ...

Pros: Tom's acting was good
Cons: my whole review is about the cons of this overrated waste of time

Why in the world does everyone like this movie so stinking much? Even people who I consider to have good taste in movies love this flick while I just don’t get it. Maybe it just didn’t click with me somehow; it was a struggle for me to even get ...

Pros: Excellent Acting, Direction and plot
Cons: None

Pros: None
Cons: Posturing load of self-adoring crap from start to finish.

I must honestly warn you now, I really do get carried away in my review, and as such do nothing to dispel recent accusations of being in possession of a ‘potty mouth’. Like I give a fuck. I have a new hero I call him ...

Pros: Brilliant acting, script, direction, and score.
Cons: Strong language at times.

"Forrest Gump" is one of the main reasons I find Tom Hanks to be, arguably, the best actor in Hollywood today. His unfaltering performance here is brilliant....completely convincing and quite moving. I was rooting for his Best Actor Oscar for this role....

Pros: Heartwrenching in character, Excellent Acting, Fine Direction
Cons: Slow through much of the film, Wandering Plot

Perhaps one of the most appropriately awarded acting awards in the past decade was Tom Hanks' Best Actor Oscar for "Forrest Gump." Why? It truly does illustrate greatness for such an intelligent man to play, so flawlessly, a simpleton like Forrest. ...

Pros: Beautifully acted, engaging story.
Cons: none that I can think of

I guess I love this movie because there is a very nostalgic person living inside of me. I envy the character Forrest in a way, because he has some relationships that are lifelong and the memories therein are cherished.

From the moment Forrest...

Pros: Practically everything
Cons: Despite being too melodramatic at times, nothing

Pros: everything
Cons: nothing

Pros: Really funny, historically accurate
Cons: Very Long

I loved this movie very much. I first watched it when I was very little and I liked it even then. Today I appreciate it even more, the acting is very well done and Tom Hanks even won the Oscar for his unforgettable performance as the slow, but...

Pros: Tom Hanks, Sally Field, Robin Wright, and Gary Sinise were superb!
Cons: None.

I first saw this movie when it came out on VHS and I really liked it very much. I first rented this from the now out- of-business record store called "Wherehouse." A few years after that, I bought the movie.

Tom Hanks plays the role of a...
