Superb.......nothing else can describes it

Rating: 10/10 (21 May 2001)

Anyone who finds this movie to be trash, I just don't understand why. Most movies are not to be taken seriously and this is one of them. Forrest Gump is just about a simple man living through his life. It's not a historical documentary it is a movie, and a masterpiece movie.
Tom Hanks, yet again is as perfect as ever and rightly enough won the best actor oscar. (Anyone who doesn't like Hanks I don't understand, what is there to dislike about him??!!) The supporting cast, especially Gary Sinise, Sally Field and Robin Wright are also magnificent and together they all put the cherry on the cake for this movie.
I agree that it is a (sort of) American movie but that doesn't make it a bad or wrong movie. It wasn't overrated in the slightest because it is such a great movie and I believe that it deserved all of the credit and awards that it receievd.
If you love movies and Tom Hanks (like moi!) and are willing to watch anything with an open mind then do yourself a favour and see it. I gurantee that this superb best picture oscar winner (and rightly so too), it will not disapoint you.
Thank you all for being patient to read this, I'm glad I got that off my chest!
