Good, but not as amazing as Forrest Gump.

Rating: Null/10 (30 December 2000)

First of all, Tom Hanks is an incredible actor. He exemplifies every movie that he is in, and he has always been one of my favorite actors. Forrest Gump is one of mine & my sisters favorite movies. I expected this to be as good, but I was a little disappointed. Helen Hunt is completely useless in this movie, and her and Hanks have no chemistry at all, so you don't care about their relationship. But Hanks does great on his own. The island scenes are wonderful, and he develops a funny and touching friendship with Wilson, a volleyball. All in all, it is good, but I don't think it will take home a lot of Oscars. Zemeckis and Hanks are great, but before and after the island come up dry. 8/10.
