The Rub's Review

Created Nov 20, 2007 02:24AM PST • Edited Nov 20, 2007 02:24AM PST

  1. Quality
  2. Summary
    Perfect 5.0

    This film will be remembered as Zemeckis’ masterpiece. A timeless story and an unforgettable performance by Hanks. I only wish it would have come out a year sooner or later so not to have steamrolled Pulp Fiction at every award show that year.

  4. Acting
    Perfect 5.0

    Hanks gives the performance of his career. Not your typical “play a dullard and win an Oscar by praying on the sympathy of the voters” role. This was played with pitch perfect heart and believability.

  5. Male Stars Perfect 5.0
  6. Female Stars Perfect 5.0
  7. Female Costars Perfect 5.0
  8. Male Costars Perfect 5.0

  12. Play Perfect 5.0
  13. Music Perfect 5.0
  14. Visuals Perfect 5.0

  16. Edge
    Tame 1.0
  17. Sex Innocent 1.0
  18. Violence Gentle 1.0
  19. Rudeness Polite 1.0
  21. Reality
    Surreal 2.1

    Surreal in the sense that the events portrayed didn’t really happen with Forrest Gump in them, but real because they actually did. The story itself is timeless.

  22. Circumstantial Surreal 2.1
  23. Biological Surreal 2.1
  24. Physical Surreal 2.1

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.
