Pros: Superb acting and great writing keep you hooked to the screen. Cons: Minor things, too small to even mention.
The protagonist is a word I learned early on in English class. Protagonist means leading figure in a work of drama. In many films there is a main character but he is overshadowed by the plot of the film. In this film, Forrest Gump is the film, he makes...
Pros: None Cons: Posturing load of self-adoring crap from start to finish.
I must honestly warn you now, I really do get carried away in my review, and as such do nothing to dispel recent accusations of being in possession of a ‘potty mouth’. Like I give a fuck. I have a new hero I call him ...
Pros: Forrest Gump may not be too "bright," but he has a heart of pure gold and more wisdom than most of us could hope to possess Cons: some swearing and violence (especially the war scenes)
"Life is like a box of chocolates: you never know what you're gonna get." This quote from "Forrest Gump" became a household phrase when the movie came out five years ago. Based on a book by the same name which I understand has a much...
Pros: Tom Hanks is brilliant, the story line so sweet and sincere. Cons: Maybe you could shift that bus stop over one time?
In life we are asked to carry out some majorly important events. We must work, we must procreate, we must adhere to rules and we must strive to get ahead. Through it all, we should not act selfishly, but often do. Through it all, we should not put...
Pros: Hanks' performance; Zemeckis's direction; script. Cons: It beat out Pulp Fiction for Best Picture.
Aside from all of the moral philosophy, the biggest plot point of Forrest Gump is that if the title character had really existed, he would be the most important person of our time. Not only did he invent Elvis Presley's highly censored leg ...
Pros: Great Inspirational Story Which Teaches That Each Person Has The Ability To Life A Full Life If They Only Believe And Never Give Up! Cons: I'm A Sucker for Happily Ever After Movies, and I Feel That I Was Partially Robbed
Unlike many of the movies which are played within our home, Forrest Gump has a cherished place in our hearts. That’s because my ten-year-old autistic son understands where Forrest is coming from because like Forrest, my son has a disability. ...
Pros: Realistic, great music, huge time period covered Cons: Strong emotional response guaranteed
This review will change your perception of me...just saying! Many people that I know could not stand this movie and I have heard it ridiculed repeatedly. For me, it was a work of art. There is NOTHING about it that bored me! It is a masterpiece. It is ...
Pros: Tom's acting was good Cons: my whole review is about the cons of this overrated waste of time
Why in the world does everyone like this movie so stinking much? Even people who I consider to have good taste in movies love this flick while I just don’t get it. Maybe it just didn’t click with me somehow; it was a struggle for me to even get ...
Pros: This film is more intelligent than I remember Cons: I want to press the mute button when Gump talks about chocolates
I remember back in 1994 when Forrest Gump had been released on the big screen. It was certainly a love it or hate it type movie and it fostered its share of rough criticism. I was actually quite ashamed to admit out loud that I had thoroughly...
Pros: Heartwrenching in character, Excellent Acting, Fine Direction Cons: Slow through much of the film, Wandering Plot
Perhaps one of the most appropriately awarded acting awards in the past decade was Tom Hanks' Best Actor Oscar for "Forrest Gump." Why? It truly does illustrate greatness for such an intelligent man to play, so flawlessly, a simpleton like Forrest. ...
Pros: Beautiful epic with no pretensions Cons: none
Forrest Gump is a movie that tells the tale of a generation. Forrest Gump, the character, is in many ways the embodiment of the Baby Boomer generation. He is in love with the reckless idealist, he has an extraordinarily naive and uncynical view on life,...
Pros: Sally Fields glows onscreen as always Cons: a horrible depiction of the 1970's as being all about drugs and discos, couldn't be further from the truth!
If the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. had been founded in 1953, perhaps its name would have been something more suitable for the times: like the Ike Dick Shrimp Co. I always was a big Eisenhower fan: he was an avid golfer, like me! He even went so far as to...
Pros: Everything technical about this film is polished. Pacing, Effects, Script. Everything. Cons: Every single bit of polish has been used to cynically repackage a difficult time in American history in order to suit a conservative political agenda
I have to get something off my chest. I don't think Forrest Gump is badly acted, badly paced or even particularly badly written. Instead I think it has been put together with great skill, and manages to be affecting in quite a sophisticated manner. ...
