Outstanding but overrated!

Rating: 9/10 (1 January 2017)

Let's get one thing straight, Forrest Gump is spectacular!
Tom Hanks delivered one of the best performances ever. His performance is the best thing about this picture. The movie has a very deep message and anyone at any age should enjoy it. The story told is like no other and is a very great one that touches the viewer, motivates him and affects him in many ways. Definitely worth of being a classic and one of the best family movies.
But the reason why it is overrated is that it won six Oscars the year Shawshank Redemption and Pulp Fiction came out, the two so-called best movies of the 90s and in my opinion both of them are better than Forrest Gump. I definitely understand Hanks winning best actor, but best picture over Pulp Fiction and Shawshank? As usual the Academy got it wrong.
But this does not stop Forrest Gump from being a beautiful movie.
