Forrest Gump

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: everything
Cons: nothing

The tagline for this film was, "The world will never be the same, once you've seen it through the eyes of Forrest Gump." It is a movie of life-changing proportions, as it chronicles 30 years in the history of America. Tom Hanks earned his second Oscar in...

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: Great Movie
Cons: The War Scenes I Guess

Forrest Gump is one of my favorite, if not my favorite, movies of all time. This movie shows how a man with a limited IQ follows his dreams and becomes successful, and doesn't abandon his true love, even when she strays and doesn't realize how much he...

Pros: Just sit and marvel at this one
Cons: NONE

I didn't know what this movie would be about so I just sat back and ENJOYED. There is not one thing wrong with this film. Hanks is so perfect in the role that it is scary - he really knows how to pick great roles for himself. Sally Fields is also...

Pros: funny, emotional, GREAT
Cons: a little too long

When my son first told us that he was going to be Tom Hank's stunt double in a movie called "Forest Gump", well... what would you think? The title was really obscure and we did not know anything about the plot, except for the football scenes...

Pros: New technology for that time, Touching, Sweet
Cons: Too many coincidences and predictable

Forrest Gump. If you've seen this movie, you're bound to think about how un-coincidentally he happened to always be at the right place at the right time. ie. Running through a football field getting away from bullies--which lands him a roll on the...

Pros: good acting good story
Cons: too.......MUCH

Forrest Gump did not deserve to win the Best Picture Oscar in 1995. It should have gone to Pulp Fiction. The movie is entertaining but I believe it to be a purely money making picture only. There is no artistic motive in it. It does tell a good story,...

Pros: good impression of the times
Cons: bad

“Forrest Gump” was a movie starring Tom Hanks who played the part of a boy that wasn’t completely all there. Gump was what some people could call retarded or (stupid). But that was just a part about what the movie was about. The part that I am going...

Pros: Good Acting
Cons: Protrays bad reactions to child abuse

In the movie Forrest Gump, Jenny was a very close person to Forrest Gump. Forrest Gump was always there to help Jenny, even when she didn’t want to be helped. As a child her dad abused her. Throughout her life there were many mistakes that she made...

Pros: Okay story and kinda funny
Cons: Same old sap

Can't the Academy ever do anything right? Yes Forrest Gump was an entertaining movie that had some substance to it. But obviously everyone forgot that this was the year of Pulp Fiction. A film that really deserved to win all those awards. Gump is...

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: He got through life
Cons: There is none

I for one loved Forest Gump. It showed a man who went for his dreams. Even though Forest was not one of a kind he still did what he believed in. He promised things and kept those promises. He was a loyale loving man. It is hard to find a person like that...

Pros: Funny, great to watch
Cons: Sad

'Forrest Gump' is a really great movie that will make you laugh and cry. It will make you laugh because of all the coincidences (Watergate, smiley faces, etc.) that seem to happen to Forrest and will make you cry because of the sad things that occur....

Pros: Left that really full feeling inside.
Cons: It is hard to view this movie negatively.

This movie quite simply is a wonderful portrayal of the later part of this century.I saw this movie for two reasons,the first being that Tom Hanks is a brilliant actor. I very much enjoy all of his work.The second is that it depicts very vividly the ups...
