I first saw it in about 1995, overall I've seen it 15 or 20 times. So amazing. It's a shame I can't watch my old VHS copy anymore, since my VCR basically died about 3 years ago.

In high school I'd maybe agree. Haven't seen it in years but in retrospect I'd probably give it a 6/10.

I think the only problem with it is that its a little too long but other wise its one of my favs of all time

It's a good movie.
Not the best movie IMO. But good. --- "She was like, 'Oh, did you see that firefighter? Hes so cute.' And I was like, Mom, I just got blown up." ... Copied to Clipboard!

the only gripe I have after re-watching it when older is that I'm like "no forrest, jenny is not good for you" lol but I guess the case could be made that she gave him hope when he had nothing else

The only part I didn't really like was the ping-pong. That was stupid and boring. I also sorta wished the Vietnam part had been cut, but not because it was bad, but because it wasn't set in America, and America is obviously an important location in this film.
It's a shame they never made the sequel book into a film. --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. A three hour tour, a three hour tour... ... Copied to Clipboard!

It's a very good film. Hard to argue otherwise.

But Forrest could've stayed in America, and various protests and TV reports could've been shown. He didn't need to go and fight. --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened.

I found it entertaining enough at the time, but in retrospect it's a movie about a guy who does what he's told that takes a big dump on leftists and the counterculture movement. I've seen people call it "Ready Player One for boomers" & tbh that's a pretty accurate description. It's also a bit schmaltzy for my taste. It's still a movie I'd probably enjoy rewatching, but it has some flaws I can't really overlook anymore. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

i really think they did a great job of portraying the relationship between forrest and jenny
everyone's always on the fence of who loved whom and why. it's just such a realistic depiction of love. we all experience it in different ways, and movies have come to craft it as this very solid idea. forrest gump, however, has no problems showing how complicated and mind-boggling love and affection can get. it's rigid and nonsensical and makes you think thousands of conflicting ways at once. and that's just one of the things the movie does. it does so much else. really is a great film. --- Disclaimer: There's a good chance the above post could be sarcasm.
