Forrest Gump Customer Reviews (58 - 60 of 133 Reviews)

I'm not a smart man, but I know what a good movie is.
And this is definitely a good movie, probably the best movie of the 1990's. Only just watched in full on TV on Friday and wow, best movie i have ever seen. This has to be the best role Hanks ever played and Zemeckis' greatist film.

Life is like this movie, Forrest. It absolutley sucks.
Tom Hanks is an odd fellow. On the one hand, he's perfectly likeable in, say, Road To Perdition, oozes charm in, say, Big, but then there are times you could happily run him over with a car. Castaway is a good example, but surely the best example has to be this - 2 and a bit hours of Idiot Does Good. And 2 and a bit hours of the most sentimental, mawkish U-S-A! U-S-A! drivel you'll ever see.

Reasons to hate this movie.

1. Forrest Gump himself. Tom Hanks thinks playing someone who is mentally slow equals having big wide eyes and, er, well, that's pretty much it. And saying really stupid, but supposed to be cute, things ("my name's Forrest Gump. People call me Forrest Gump)". Ha ha ha, oh how witty. Doesn't he just warm your hearts, ladies and gentlemen? Eh, no.

2. The humourous coincidences throughout the movie. One would have been fine, a nice little knowing, "ahhhh", but Forrest unknowningly invents so many things (phrases, logo's) you half expect him to get zapped back in time to invent the wheel. It's stupid and corny.

3. Pulp Fiction.. that's PULP. FICTION was beaten to the Oscars by THIS syrup-laden, twee "all is well.. all is well.." crud-fest. That's just sick and wrong.

Nothing to see here, folks. Move along. Don't even think about buying.. run along there, that's it..

Must have in collection
My God, if you don't have this classic of a movie in your collection what the hell is wrong with you. I'm a big fan of Tom Hanks and I thought he did a superb job of playing Forrest Gump. If you thought this movie was dumb or just plain stupid, you have issues that should be dealt with right away. I was about 14 or 15 years old when this movie came out and even then as a young teenage girl, I knew that this movie would be a classic.
