Forrest Gump

Rating: 9/10 (23 May 2018)

Short and Simple Review by WubsTheFadger
Forrest Gump tells the slightly funny yet saddening tale of Forrest Gump. The story is uplifting, sad, brutal, and at times very funny. The characters are unique and genuine. The story flows with ease.
The acting is very good. Tom Hanks performs exceptionally well. Robin Wright also performs well. Sally Fields and Gary Sinise both perform with power and presence.
The pacing is a little slow and the runtime is a little overlong.
One thing I don't like about the film is how Wright's character takes advantage of Forrest so many times and yet, at the end, we are supposed to feel bad for her.
Pros: Uplifting yet sad story, unique characters, amazing acting, and some really powerful scenes
Cons: Slow pacing, an overlong runtime, and how we are supposed to feel bad for Wright's character even though she is a scumbag
Overall Rating: 8.6
