That movie bored the shit out of me. I never liked it.

Wow! Looks like we finally agree on something. Woeful, shallow movie.
Put me off Hanks movies permanently. Which was a shame because Philadelphia was impressive.
Made a couple of attempts since to sit through a Hanks movie e.g. Road to Perdition but couldn't stay the distance.
An exception was Cloud Atlas as it is one of my all-time favourite novels... regretted it.
Hanks is at the top of my list of "Do NOT watch"; up there with Stallone, Downey Jr. and de Niro (because I prefer not to have to use subtitles).
If someone could explain the appeal of Forrest Gump I'd be grateful (and likely incredulous).
