The superb acting, the absolutely incredible music, and the (while not necessarily logical or in any way likely) story will touch anyone who has their heart in the right place. An incredible movie, and anyone who says otherwise needs to check their cynicism at the door.

The first time I saw this movie, I cried. Hard. Because I was NINE. I saw this movie again on TV last year, when I was 21... holy shit, what a maudlin mess. The only way that this film could've possibly been more Oscar-hungry would be if Forrest Gump were also deaf, homeless, and struggling to care for his young son who is growing up on the dangerous inner-city streets. Also, the kid would've had to be a genius who grows up to save the Middle East and endangered California condors and stuff.

The message of this film seems to be that even an unwitting retard can excel in all areas of life as long as he does it in a wholesome American fashion and steers clear of those woman-beating liberal bastards in the counterculture.

An incredibly touching film with a great cast, excellent choice of music and a thoroughly pleasing storyline. Some of the dialogue in this film is now commonly quoted in everyday life which is a great achievement. It was a teeny bit long though, but I enjoyed it too much to really care

Unmissable. Forrest Gump teaches us that even with a low IQ, you can still live an exceptionally large life. One single man's journey through live while learning big lessons about love and trust. Serious at all the right moments, but has plenty of comedy. Romantic and historic. Not to mention, great music!

The story of Forrest Gump is an American Classic. Tom Hanks does an amazing job playing a simple-minded man who makes his way through important events in American history, like the Vietnam War and the Kennedy Assassination. I recommend this movie because it not only appeals to the adults that were alive and remember the events in Forrest's life, but it also appeals to the younger generation in providing an alternative way to learn history.

"Forrest Gump" is the culmination of about thirty years of current events, all of which one man is directly linked to. The story of one of the most amazing fictional lives ever lived, and so exquisitely written and acted.

Capralike fiction with well-worked out, decent scenario and amazing visuals. But I am fed up with the sentimentality, "everyone has their shot in life". The irony of the film slowly fades away from the mind, because of the impracticality of the situation. Still one of the best Hollywood had delivered in the nineties.

Its facinating how such a simple man can live such an amazing life, see so many things and meet so many people. The movie is full of quotable quotes such as the box of chocolate quotes or one of Lt. Dan's quotes. All these things make it a very distinguished and likable movie.

A lot of people rag on this for being sentimental and manipulative; and it is, but it's pretty effective and generally well done. Hanks delivers an amazing performance, and for a film that covers roughly 35 years of history it does a remarkable job fitting in details that resonate with people's personal experiences.

What stands out the most is the excellent behind-the-scenes production values, even above some fantastic acting by Hanks. With cleverly designed sets, excellent script and direction it makes a big visual impact on the viewer with a mix of subtle special effects and intelligent use of key event of the time period. This ultimately leads to the downside as it seems to reach out to make Gump more than a ficticious character, something which can never be. Has a spirit that reaches out to the viewer.

It's pretty much like someone took Being There and made it sincere rather than satirical. I didn't find anything too awful about the movie, except for the soundtrack, which is a terribly predictable selection of period classics. At times it felt like I was watching a "Freedom Rock" commercial. Mostly it's just a lot of sentimental nonsense, not too cloying but not very sophisticated, either. Very bland, easy-to-digest crowd-pleaser stuff.

One of the most insanely overloved movies ever made. What are people seeing in this treacly, over-long, cloying, saccharine epic? Is it the celebration of the dullard that makes America love this? As time goes by, even the celebrated technical tricks fail to impress. I don't get it.

I think your enjoyment of the film boils down to whether or not you are charmed by Tom Hanks as Forrest Gump. If you are then you can let the almost absurd levels of coincidence and luck go and enjoy the film for what it is. A charming tale of a good, simple man. And even if you hate the movie Gump's exchanges with his drill sergeant are still absolutely hilarious.

A touching, charming classic. A movie anybody could watch again and again, although it has became overrated in recent years. Jock-full of extremely memorable and recognizable quotes along with one of the most loveable movie icons of the 90s. Groundbreaking cinematography too, from the stunning Vietnam battlegrounds to the styled, inedibly detailed streets of Georgia. Although contrived, it's still a heartwarming, evocative, absurd and thought provoking drama with virtually no flaws at all.

Didn't like this at all. Cheesy, corny, hokey, warm in the worst Hallmarky, feel-good way. And the music! All the rock "classics" we're all tired of! The soundtrack is a Time Life collection! This script seemed like a feel-good excuse for Zemeckis to do his Zelig thing. Vastly prefer Zelig. The cinematic version of Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire" and really, who wants to sit through that? Yes, is has great actors in it, but the movie? Ugh.

It's schmaltzy, it's ham-fisted, yeah, sure, don't care. Forrest Gump is the purest of popcorn cinema. If I went to the theater to see a new movie and Forrest Gump played instead, I'd sit through the entire film with a smile on my face and walk out that theater not bothered in the slightest. Incredible soundtrack, cast of characters, and a winding storyline with nary a dull moment. This is not the type of movie you discuss in your film studies class and it does not need to be.

A man passes through the Sturm und Drang of the '60s unscathed, but ends up losing the one he loves the most to its unexpected consequences. I don't think it's quite the conservative film everyone makes it out to be and there's a little more subtlety to it than some give it credit for. It's definitely not art house, though. Its gender and race politics suck. Fun fact: no British Invasion on the soundtrack.

Best Picture? Man is this thing overrated. Hey, Forrest is in 'Nam, cue up "'Fortunate Son'!!!" I actually telegraphed that song choice, which illustrates my main problem with the movie; it's terribly predictable, and full of the most ridiculous stereotypes I've ever seen in a film that's held in such high esteem. The 60s were crazy and groovy, the 70s were a little scary...ok, ok we GET IT. Look at all the green squares! Why??? There is literally NOTHING new or unexpected to be found.

And now for the grand finale of what has become my 'autism' trilogy: 'Forrest Gump'. What a queer idea to tour American history with an autistic protagonist. This concept is not dear to my heart, and yet not mundane enough to escape a cautious recommendation. If for nothing else, Zemeckis is a meticulous artisan worthy of some respect. So you could, like, at least watch it or whatever.

For the love of god, do not read too much into this movie. No matter what other people say, this movie is NOT meant to be glorifying ignorance and blind obediance. It's just a tale of a simple man's journey in life, that's all. And it's the better for it.

Besides an obnoxiously glib performance from Hanks, this film encapsulates all the unfortunate human tendencies to trivialize politics, to sugarcoat serious history, to see world events only via the most narrow and superficial perspectives and, most American of all, to forget the past. I really hate this movie.

Forrest Gump is one of the most memorable and loved films of the 90's. For rewarding entertainment and effortless re-watch-ability, Forrest Gump is one of the few films of it's kind. But this has to be one of the most criminally overrated films ever made also. I appreciate that this film can be heavily, emotionally manipulative with it's charm, warmth & sentimentality. But I cannot fathom how anybody could not enjoy & be touched by Tom Hanks here in this unforgettable & incredibly pleasing role.

I didn't hate it as much as some but being that I love "Being There" it did rub me the wrong way a little. Still I will give Hanks his due for being so charming and Sinise his due for having his legs removed for the role.

This is actually a pitch black satire of the past century posing as a flag-waving tradition monger. Zemekis knew how to subvert the script, but he never quite brings it into the area he should have.

Forrest Gump delivers charm, heart, scope and a great Hanks performance. Oddly enough, I found Sinise's performance a little more enjoyable. Zemeckis' direction is great as well. However, the plot is far-fetched. The fact that the film can make you laugh, cry, sigh and cough can be attributed to its overlong runtime and clockwork setting change. The film is also a cute (shallow) overview of modern American history, but having no real connection to that history hampered my enjoyment somewhat.

Thing one thing i really love about this film is how easy it is to become attached to the main character. Some films do not do as good of a job as this one has. I enjoyed taking the journey with Forrest Gump.

Forrest Gump is my personal most favorite movie. For me, it is so perfect. The plot, the setting, the casts, their performances, everything's so good. Gump is complete movie. It is about life drama, romance, comedy, war, and even sport. Yet, it is tearjerker movie with the strong values that lies underneath its story. Great movie!

Even though it features a lot of those typical Hollywood clichés I really can't stand, for some reason I liked this film a lot. These things did annoy me every now and then, but there's a lot of stuff I did enjoy. I thought it was fairly funny at times and overall it was quite heart-warming and even inspiring. A lot of plot events felt contrived but somehow it didn't bother me as much as it usually would. Quite good.

I've never had a problem with sentimentality in movies as long as it's used correctly. It's not an error but a technique and Forrest Gump utilizes it to forge a fun, excellently paced two and a half hours. There's nothing spectacularly amazing about this movie, but it does what it does very well.

Remember kids: If you're a fucking idiot, you can succeed in America. If you're like Forrest you better do as you're told (conform, don't talk back) then you'll live a long, happy and successful life. If you do as Jenny did (embrace drugs, social change and individuality) you will inevitably die. Of AIDS. Pro-conformity at its absolute best here, folks.

Hanks does a fantastic job as the moronic lead character who you can't help but root for. And every time a politician gets shot... it's strangely funny.

Forrest Gump is near "perfect" for three reasons; Firsly, As a true tear jerking love story that spans the years. It is a true love story in that it was not predicated on sex, or indeed on reciprocity, just the unconditional love of another person. Second; the absolutely mind blowing acting of Hanks, who inhabited his character like I have never experienced before and thirdly, an absolutely perfect script; if you didnt like a scene or two, dont worry, there is a new chapter coming shortly.

It can be sappy and manipulative but yet it works. It takes the "red violin" concept of following something through significant historical moments except instead of a violin you have a mild mannered retarded dude amusingly acted by Tom Hanks. There are long stretches where everything is tongue in cheek so it's not as if it's an unrelenting barrage of maudlin sentimentality throughout the whole thing. You have to be a real cynic to hate this film.

The movie this most closely resembles is Woody Allen's "Zelig". And, like that film, I walked away from the theatre wondering what anyone saw in it to make it worth my time watching. Life is like a box of chocolates and this film is the chocolate with the saccharine sweet gooey filling. Super-overrated fluff.

Tom Hanks in the role he was meant to play, Forrest Gump will make you laugh till it hurts. Forrest Gump is full of memorable quotes and scenes, and contains one of the most recognized and loveable movie characters in all of film, and there is a good reason as to why. Although, there is a bit of a downside. The film tends to drag on for little bits at a time, but is generally very well made.

On paper this movie should annoy the shit out of me. And in its own special way it kinda does, but I always thought it was still alright. This movie seems to be kind of polarizing, but I would argue that it shouldn't be. Even though it did win best picture, I don't think there's enough substance here to evoke extreme love or hate. It's kinda somewhere down the middle. Not really worth thinking about in the year 2010.

Yeah, it's flawed but it's still highly entertaining and you can't help but love Forrest. Gary Sinise is also hard not to love, his whole story arch is pretty fantastic. Really I can't say much more about this film that hasn't already been said but it's definitely a movie you have to see at least once before you kick the bucket.

The events and people surrounding Gump are of course more interesting than he is. A lot of people didn't mind, but I couldn't buy into it. Ashby already did this with a real edge in "Being There", without having to resort to cheesy Americana.

It may be difficult to stay awake through it every time you see it, but there is no arguing that Forrest Gump is an incredible film. Brilliantly acted by Tom Hanks, and with a great soundtrack, this fictional biopic is funny and extremely charming. Going through the life of the gentle and simple Forrest, the movie cleverly shows how the world, especially America, is always changing. Awesome!

An excellent piece of escapist entertainment that still keeps its important ties to real life. The title character runs (literally) through a variety of film genres and perfectly recreated time periods in America, with certain important events being looked upon directly or obscurely (I've always been a fan of comedic historical revisionism). This film leaves me as satisfied as the title character when he's mowing a big football field.
