Forrest Gump is a good movie. Tom Hanks is great in it, and the storyline was great. But otherwise, it was loose. The story could've flowed more in my opinion and the acting was okay. To me, Forrest Gump wasn't anything special, just an okay movie I watched one day when I was bored. Took up a lot of time. The story, like I said was pretty good, but I wanted to see more; more accomplishments in this story. Tom Hanks I thought was an excellent choice for the heroin. Yet, the movie didn't catch onto to me, and it didn't really grab a real kind of attention from me. And also, how does Forrest Gump beat Shawshank Redemption in the Oscars? I still can't understand that.
