One of the best films ever

Rating: 10/10 (1 September 2008)

I first saw this at the cinema when it was first released. It was wonderful then and only seems to get better with time. Such a lovely film that changes you forever, and can teach everyone something.
Whilst the plot is extraordinary and cover so many things that Forest does in his lifetime, it is somehow completely believable they way its presented; you find yourself thinking about history and the topics covered during the film and still a few days after.
Tom Hanks' best performance and wonderful supporting cast too. Great Music Soundtrack - Although a big winner I still feel this film didn't win nearly enough Academy Awards. another truly magical film from Robert Zemeckis. I hate people who lick director ass, but this dude Zemeckis has an amazing talent to really put you there and make you feel it by tapping into your childlike emotions and senses. Like in Castaway or Back to the Future, always something anyone can watch and feel in one way or another.
The kind of film that comes along a few times in a whole lifetime, I feel it is underrated if anything,; as I guess these days, liking something lovely and heart-warming is no longer cool.
This film will still be considered superb long after titles like The Matrix and Spiderman/Batman films are being laughed at. Makes everyone laugh & cry, the sort of film that you want to show your kids one day.
