The first time you watch it, it's an easy 10.

Comes off truly special.

But even 8s you want to watch again - and this movie drops off a cliff when it comes to multiple viewings.

Once you've seen Forrest Gump - you never need to watch Forrest Gump again.

Verses movies like Ben Hur or Lawrence of Arabia - where they're so magnificent, you can watch them over and over again.

The story is boring.

Everything is very hokey in it.

The performances aren't anything special.

And none of the characters are likeable, even if you feel for them.

Even if you find Forrest charming for a slow kid, you wouldn't want to know him. Lol If someone hadn't seen it, Id tell them to. But if someone asked to throw it on for something to watch again, I'd adamantly protest.

I'm giving it a 7. For that's what it is, in the scheme of things.
