Regarding Randy’s Review
Wow… it has been four years hasn’t it! Such a long time! I reviewed it briefly back then, but I wanted to go back and update the sliders as well as provide additional, more detailed commentary. It’s such a great movie, and my all-time favorite, that I felt like I owed it to myself to write a good review on it.
Regarding Randy’s Review
Tremendously well done appreciation of a worthy classic, Randy. I’d kinda forgotten how Forrest told his story in narrated flashbacks to strangers, then Zemeckis wove that into real time near the end. Deft.
I’d also forgotten how long the movie is. I love outstanding movies that are really long. More of a great thing is always a great thing.
Regarding Randy’s Review
‘bout time you put up your review Randy, a full four years since originally commenting. The wait was worth it however. Give me a day to digest it and I’ll be back.
Haha that’s awesome!!!
Thanks Randy, I think you might have gotten the ball rolling on Forrest Gump. Anyway, after I saw your review and then the others, I realized that I needed to add my voice (and trust points) as well. WikPik works best when several reviewers review a movie, making both the average and trust weighted scores more and more reliable.
And now Forrest Gump is 2nd highest ranking movie in TopPiks. “Run Forrest, run!”
I reviewed this a while back…
Now it seems EVERYONE is reviewing it here… That’s great!
It really was a good movie, wasn’t it? Extremely clever.
