Only YOU can prevent "Forrest"

Rating: 1/10 (20 August 1998)

Did I see the same movie as the rest of the world? I thought this movie was lousy. It couldn't have been less interesting.
The only thing that got me was how they made Gary Sinise's legs disappear; and that was a momentary curiosity at best, an interesting f/x. That was very well done, no question about it.
I am very sentimental, at least when it comes to movies; this movie didn't touch me at all.
Tom Hanks was obnoxious, at best. Robin Wright Penn is miscast and I have yet to see her in a movie in which she should have been in. I love Sally Field but even she cannot rescue this for me.
This may be the movie I dislike the most...the fact that it won Best Picture, Actor etc. makes me hate it even more, and usually I don't care what the Academy thinks since I question the whole thing to begin with.
