nickamcq's reviews

I am surprised the overall reviews are as low as they appear. I really enjoyed this film.

I laughed out loud. I was surprised. I had a tear in my eye. Great balance of action, humor, and emotion. This is my perfect entertainment movie.

Even though the plot and story is related to the moral issues of time travel, that is not the message.

If you still have not seen this movie then you are missing out on a long but entertaining story of a man, Forest Gump, who makes the best of his life and every moment. Forest is an example of a great man who comes in a broken package which is often misjudged or treated. The real reason this movie is worth watching is because I believe most people can relate to Forest and his life experience. In the movie he experiences, love, hate, judgement, fear, loneliness, happiness, war, struggle, and much more is seen and experienced with the people he interacts with like racism, divorce, abuse, and physical trauma. The acting of Tom Hanks and all supporting actors is spot on, I was never pulled from the sense of belief. I truly felt a part of him and felt what he was going through.
