DVD Reviews of Forrest Gump (Two-Disc Special Collector's Edition)

DVD Review: Must Have
Summary: 5 Stars

If you haven't read the book I strongly recommend it. The movie is a five star movie, and the book is a awesome complement for it. The picture, editing, direction....nothing bad, from every point of view.

DVD Review: A movie OF our times, and FOR our times
Summary: 4 Stars

Tom Hanks plays Forrest Gump, a mentally challenged man who grows up in rural Alabama, and whose life spans many of the significant events of the latter half of the 20th century.

Hanks plays the role to perfection as he tells his life story to strangers while sitting at a bus stop.

You will be caught up in this story as Forrest Gump crosses paths with celebrities, meets presidents, plays college football, fights in Vietman, is swept up in anti-war rallies, and becomes a success.

When all is said and done, all Forrest really wants is to find his very best friend in the world so that they can "be just like peas and carrots" again.

Hanks plays the role convincingly. Forrest has no guile, is completely trusting, and his childlike wonder and limitations make him an endearing and enduring character.

Be advised that there are some scenes that may prove offensive to some viewers...there is a smattering of foul language, amd there are scenes portraying drug and alcohol abuse, as well as war violence, etc.

All in all, this is a great show. You will be glad you watched!

A strong 4-star offering.

DVD Review: Amazing movie!
Summary: 5 Stars

I've always loved this movie, from the first time I saw it. And at the age I first watched it, I was very picky. But Tom was great in it, as well as Gary Sinise. I think Gary's part in this movie, is one of his best performances, and that's sayin a lot.

I love how Forrest never just gives up, like a lot of us would love to do in hard times. He always keeps going, the best he can, and always does his best to find the best in people. He's such a sweet guy who had a pretty hard life.

A really great movie :)!

DVD Review: Touching.. inspiring.
Summary: 5 Stars

Man, this movie is so rich with emotions. Forrest reminds me how complicated we make life. I see myself in Jenny and in Forrest. It's hard to be forrest because you want to fit in to society and survive but somewhere in the process of trying to do that you start to loose parts of yourself and head down the path of Jenny.
This movie speaks a lot of truth, financially, spiritually, philosophically........

DVD Review: Forrest Gump
Summary: 5 Stars

Forrest Gump is a movie that you will not get bore watching it over and over again. It is the best movie I had ever watched.

The Academy Award winner for Best Picture, Best Director Robert Zemeckis, and Best Actor Tom Hanks, this unlikely story of a slow-witted but good-hearted man somehow at the center of the pivotal events of the 20th century is a funny and heartwarming epic. Hanks plays the title character, a shy Southern boy in love with his childhood best friend (Robin Wright) who finds that his ability to run fast takes him places. As an All-Star football player he meets John F. Kennedy; as a soldier in Vietnam he's a war hero; and as a world champion Ping-Pong player he's hailed by Richard Nixon. Becoming a successful shrimp-boat captain, he still yearns for the love of his life, who takes a quite different and much sadder path in life. The visual effects incorporating Hanks into existing newsreel footage is both funny and impressive, but the heart of the film lies in its sweet love story and in the triumphant performance of Hanks as an unassuming soul who savors the most from his life and times. --Robert Lane
