Forest Gump is certainly a well crafted movie experience.

However it doesn't exactly knock your socks off. Much of the plaudits the movie received upon its release was for technical brilliance and ingenuity, the story itself was and is somewhat secondary.

The performances are first class with Hanks the stand out.

It does contains some moments that have entered pop culture but ask people who have watched it what it was about, they will tell you about a box of chocolates but what else will they remember?

Its good but I personally think its a little over rated.
