A bit overrated - Forrest Gump Reviews

Forrest Gump is too long, and some moments are quite dull. Tom Hanks shouldn't have won Best Actor in 1994. Morgan Freeman was much better in The Shawshank Redemption, released in the same year. But don't get me wrong- he still put on a terrific show as a local idiot. The first three quarters of this movie are pretty entertaining. I particularly like the parts where he meets the US presidents. It isn't very very funny but it has a couple of good jokes. Overall, I think you should see it.
