A movie so great, it hardly seems like 2 hours and 24 minutes.

Rating: 9/10 (16 March 1999)

This movie was well acted and a little sad toward the end. It seemed like a movie either liked or disliked by people. I for one liked it. It's neat how they edit Tom Hanks in almost every major event from the 50's to the 80's. It's not really a movie about special effects but it manages to squeeze some in. I think what caught most people's eyes was that we understood Hanks. We could relate to his grief and rise to intelligence. For me, this will remain one of the greatest movies of all time. For others, sorry but you'll have to wait for another movie that touches your heart with gentle hands.
