A Rebel Born

...but not deliberately The direction, script, production are all utterly abysmal but still far better than the acting. Some scenes even had the voice appearing to be dubbed over. One scene where Forrest was being recruited had the recruitment officer stumbling over his lines and seemingly reading them. Avoid like the plague. Even a school play has more merit than this.

Going through garbage to find receipt to try and get my money back,

1 star is being generous. I could make a better movie with iMovie. You really have to try to be this bad. I couldn't have imagined a worst attempt at a movie before seeing this. The fact the description states " Braveheart meets Gods and Generals" must mean this is a joke. I couldn't make it more than a min of this. I'd rather watch paint dry. I'd rather read a bad book. At least I could picture something better than this in my head. 1 star is being generous. I could make a better movie with iMovie. You really have to try to be this bad.

A tempting topic that proposes to cover a notorious individual and a brutal portion of history. But at the first moment of dialogue the bubble of potential is brutally burst by a sequence of dreadfully wooden acting. You'd think that perhaps this is an attempt to ironically introduce Forrest's origin backstory as a sort of ridiculous made up fable. But this drivel is not in fact a clever device but the pinnacle of the directors ambition for the rest of the film! It's as if the actors are blind reading the script on a first take. The other discomfort is that it appears to be shot at a 30fps more common of TV format instead of the more romantic and usual 24/25fps used for film. Just watch it to learn how not to make a film. Believe me when I warn that it doesn't improve from the first minute in.

This is the worst film I have seen. I don't know where to start. Everyone and everything were awful. Was this meant to be a comedy? I really don't quite know.
