Forrest Gump

Pros: Great film
Cons: none

This film was an extremely enjoyable, touching comedy/drama, about an idiot savant who has many wild adventures in his life, but, nevertheless, cannot forget his one true love from childhood. Although Forrest is not as intelligent as most people,...

Pros: Occasional flashes of SFX humor
Cons: How long do you have to listen?

There is always a significant difference between a movie and the book from which it is made. Usually, either the book or the movie is vastly superior to the other, leaving an unpleasant taste in the viewer/reader's mental mouth. OK, so it's a...

Pros: Worth viewing
Cons: nil

Forrest Gump is a drama and a comedy. It tells the tale of a mildly retarded man who becomes involved accidentally in the biggest events of the sixties, seventies, and eighties. All throughout his life since he was a child, Forrest has been in love with...

Pros: Emotionally designed for both men and women-action, anger, death, comedy, love and honor.
Cons: Some religious slurs and sexual content.

At first, I was not too thrilled about this movie. I only went to see it because a friend dragged me to the theater. Though hesitant about the entire picture, about 15 minutes into the film I began to understand why it was receiving such praise from...

Pros: Good cast, good direction
Cons: Story may be too simple

A countless number of events and accomplishments have gone by in forty years. There have been numerous attempts to recall the gravity and massive scope of what has happened over those years. However, such events and feats seem unremarkable...

Pros: Great actors
Cons: It is PG-13

Tom Hanks gives an astonishing performance in Forest Gump. In the movie, Tom plays the role of a slow witted person who tells his point of view over three amazing decades and the events that happened during them. The movie is filled with joy &...

Pros: Shows alot one man can do
Cons: Not reall good for kids

“Life is like a box of chocolates” is a philosophy that Forest Gump (Tom Hanks) uses to describe is life journey. As Gump sits on a bench waiting for a bus he tells parts of his life and the places he has been and the people he has met. Gump shows...

Pros: Tom Hanks
Cons: It ends eventually

This is one of those movies that you just have to buy after you get to see it. It sticks with you for a long time. I took my older son to see this when it was in the movies and he even had a great time watching it. (He was at the age when they don't...

Pros: visually and technically stunning
Cons: manipulative, contrived

I remember in the Summer of 94 when I wasn't to busy devising colorful and imaginative ways to skirt the adult responsibiities that society places on a recent college graduate, I spent many wasteful and unproductive ways to fill the vacuum my life had...

Pros: Funny
Cons: A little insane

In my opinion, Forrest Gump is the best movie of all time. Tom Hanks makes the movie special though by acting like a complete idiot. Its so funny. For example when he shook hands with JFK, he really had to go to the bathroom to when JFK asks him a...

Pros: Sally Field Digitally-imposed Tom Hanks
Cons: Robert Zemeckis adds sentimental touch

Tom Hanks stars as a slow-witted, fast-moving southern man, in the whimsical, well-paced Forrest Gump. The movie is very difficult to classify. I'm not sure whether it's a comedy, a historical drama, or a romance story. One thing is for sure: Tom Hanks...

Pros: a well made movie
Cons: but so is Triumph of the Will

No one has to dislike something only because its bad. In fact, Forest Gump is well made -- paced nicely, great characters, and never does one puzzle over its message.
And that's the problem. The plot, revolving around the simple man, Forest Gump...

Pros: Everything
Cons: None

Forrest Gump is one of the best movies I have ever viewed. It's story line is a fast glimpse through a time machine taking you through decades and eras that will never be forgotten. It brings up major happenings and events from the past, that have in...

Pros: Tom Hanks' acting makes this movie
Cons: none

This movie is about a guy that we would all probably not take the time to get to know. But, what Forrest Gump doesn't have in brains, he makes up for with heart. He is a good guy, that would not hurt anyone, and when you watch the movie, you get to see...
