Not as good as book

Rating: Null/10 (19 October 2000)

FORREST GUMP is a perfect example of how books are much better than movies in some cases. The book was funny. This was not. The book was sardonic, satiric and ironic. This was not. And just because it won all those Oscars doesn't make it the movie of the year. Driving Miss Daisy, Dances With Wolves, Chariots of Fire and Titanic were all Best Picture winners, and if you ask me were all given too much credit. In the future, no one will remember FORREST GUMP. They'll just remember that somewhere along the way a movie fooled them into believing it was something more than what it really was: An overlong movie making fun of retarded people.
