This is called the best film ever sometimes I've lost count. Nonsense! The world is in dyre straights. This silly lightweight story is the dropping of the bull. The lead character is ridiculous. He is a mentally challenged man. I enjoy triumph over adversity but seriously? Forrest Gump was the best man in every situation in all the time always? Nonsense! He was in all there famous part of history when he was alive? Go away with your nonsense! The film visuals are nice and the sounds and the rest of it. But Tom Hanks is more terrible then my child at acting. My child is bad at acting. Really he is bad acting. But he is better then the hanks as Forrest Gump. I see all the good reviews and read the book it is made from and thought it silly nonsense as well so maybe it's me????
