Tom Hanks is good at times, bad at times. I love his comedy films a ton. I do not watch his relationship films.
Cast Away was awesome, but I am a huge Robinson Crusoe nut.
When I first saw Gump I was impressed with the scope of the story but I found my angle on it to be completely in opposition with everyone else. I saw Forrest Gump as the story of a simpleton with no Ego, who absolutely devastates and ruins the lives of nearly everyone he comes in contact with, in ways he doesn;t even see nor care about, because he is a simpleton.
