Pros: good cast, good story, great filming style Cons: the part where he ran was a stretch and really took up a lot of time
We all know how it starts. A feather floats down from the air and lands at a young man's feet. The young man picks it up and puts it in his Curious George book. We have just entered a young man's life. As he is sitting here a lady sits down and he...

Pros: Tom Hanks Cons: Everything Else
Sorry, I know this movie is supposed to be one of the best. I really hated this movie. All I could think of was Tom Hanks, who I love as a actor by the way, was simply mocking retarded people. I am sorry, but I personally thing this movie stunk. The main...

Pros: Wonderful story Cons: length
Forrest Gump is not for everyone. This movie is long, but it leaves you with a feeling of hope for all people, whether super smart or simple minded. Forrest is such a loving human being that it is hard not to really like him, as well as feel sorry for...

Pros: Excellent cast, led by the wonderfully talented Hanks. Can't stop watching it, from beginning to end. Great writing, directing, everything! Cons: are you kidding?!
Hanks absolutely shines as Gump. A wonderfully gifted comedian and actor, I will always love him best as Forrest.
Before his two back to back Oscar wins (and well deserved) for "Philadelphia" and "Forrest Gump", Hanks gave...

Pros: Very Touching Story Cons: none at all
Forest Gump was a very moving story. He had a lot of problems as a child but he kept going. I cried when his braces broke off and he ran and ran. He was always teased but he never let it get to him . He went in to the military...

Pros: Absolutely incredible movie and story Cons: kind of long
When this movie was first released in theaters, everyone was dyeing to see it. Once you have seen this movie, you will understand why. Every aspect of this movie is in my eyes, perfect.
First of all, the cast is incredibly strong and...

Pros: The approach of the many facets to the human spirit Cons: No sequel
The movie "Forrest Gump" lead this viewer through great historical appreciative moments, as oppose to other films based on the latter years. Humorous depicted moments gave the film and the viewer a sense of belonging because history was shared,...

Pros: funny and sad Cons: rather far fetched in places
This is one that's a real surprise. People who didn't really even want to watch it ended up loving it. In my opinion, it has everything it takes to make a movie good. It made me laugh and made me cry. When it's over you almost feel like you're...

Pros: Great family movie that will make you laugh and think. Cons: Very simple and not much action.
I enjoyed "Forest Gump" because it was so simple and comical...just like every young child is. It portrayed how one simple and naive mind sees many aspects of this ever-changing and complex world. The comedy aspect comes into play because we as...

Pros: Great storyline with values!! Cons: Some parts were not needed. Could have been shorter.
Forrest Gump is at the top of my favorite movies of all time list. Forrest Gump is the story of a boy that turns into a man. During his childhood, Forrest is looked as stupid and not worth educating, because people thought he could not learn anything....

Pros: You got to Forrest's side of his life Cons: monotone voice
This movie is okay but it is not a movie to see in a theater or if you're very tired. The only thing that really bugged me was the way Tom Hanks did his voice in monotone. This is no offense to anybody but that voice has got to go. Other than his voice...

Pros: a true love, comedy,drama,action movie combined! Cons: a little long, but well worth the stay
The reason i descided to go and see Forrest Gump is mainly because of all the rave at the time it was getting. I liked the movie so much i bought it.
So the plots shows us how anyone, regardless of their IQ, can be put into extraordinary...

Pros: Fine soundtrack,cinematography,plot Cons: None
Saw it on video, good plot, no holes, shows Forrest growing up his teens, early years, then his running into College, then his enlisting into the Army & serving in Vietnam. Very touching with Bubba & his old CO and his mom and his troubled...

Pros: Great Cons: None
I was just looking on the list of top 100 movies of all time. Trying to see if I had strong opinions about any of them. But the truth is most of them I hated with a passion.
Either that or I have seen them so many times- any respect I once had for...
