Directed by: Robert Zemeckis Starring: Tom Hanks quote:
A winner of 6 oscars including Best Picture and Best Directing, this is quite possibly one of my all-time favorite movies. Tom Hanks is definitely perfect for the role and his win for Best Actor was well-deserved. Although some may disagree due to his type of character but that's another story. I saw this movie when I was barely 8 years old, a 2.5 hour long movie is quite a long time. It was definitely one of the few movies that always kept me interested during my childhood. It had good comedic parts such as his meeting with JFK as well as sad parts with Bubba Gump. The romance was intact between him and Robin. There was good CG effects as well. A mos def. 5/5 for me. PROS: A good drama/comedy for the family CONS: Nothing noted. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109830/

This movie doesn't really have much of a "message" but it's a good story and well done. Entertaining and heartwarming but it doesn't leave the audience with much. Worth watching but not worth much else: 3.5/5

VERY, VERY good movie. One of the best movies ever made. I'd argue that it has many messages. But, probably the two most famous are, "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get," and "stupid is as stupid does." 5/5.

I liked this movie a lot, even though it condemned me to 15 years of Forrest Gump jokes. I still get asked what my last name is, as though they are hoping it's Gump.

I felt that it was an unrealistic view of what it is to be mentally challenged in America. But, it was a really cool movie.

Personally I don't see how this film can be classed as a comedy when it's more clearly a drama, but that aside, WHAT A FILM! Everything about this film is fantastic, from the direction to the acting, from the cinematography to the soundtrack. Tom Hanks gives his best performance infront of the camera (and thats saying something) with a more than air tight performance from Gary Srnice. Full Marks.

This is way more of a Drama than a comedy. Amazing film, though. Acting is top notch, soundtrack is well-done, solid and interesting plotline. I really enjoyed this movie. 4.5/5

A perfect film, part of the "Films That Made Rocco Cry Trilogy" (The other two being Old Yeller and of course, Follow That Bird). 5!

Forrest Gump may have only had an IQ of 75, but he taught Elvis how to dance, became a star football player, earned the medal of honor, improved sino-american relations via pingpong, exposed the watergate scandal, inspired John Lennon's "Imagine", ran for three years, two months, fourteen days and sixteen hours, started a company that became a household name, became a go'zillionaire, and most importantly, was a kindhearted person and a loving husband and father. Now imagine what you can do.

An amazing movie. It's one of those movies that really can't be fit into a single category- sometimes it's a comedy, sometimes it's a drama, sometimes it's even a historical/documentary type of film. We watched it not too long ago, and the movie has aged very well. 5/5! melon cat fucked around with this message at 05:03 on Oct 1, 2011 |
