| Sober Film Critic James Brown | 99 | - What I will say about the film is that it's a fantastical adventure from director Robert Zemeckis filled with the best kind of movie magic. To borrow a phrase from our titular character, this movie is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get. (full review) |
| Jim Carrier | 98 | - A classic movie with an all-time classic actor about one of the all-time classic characters in any movie. |

| Jester Smiles | 85 | - I love this movie. I think it's a great movie with so many classic lines, and so much of the imagery has become so iconic. It's just a fantastic movie. |

| Jeremy M | 80 | - I loved the story. This movie was especially good because Tom Hanks went full retard, and everyone knows it's difficult as fuck to go full retard. |

| Drezzy | 80 | - The movie tugs too hard on the heartstrings too often for my liking, making repeat viewings less effective in the experience. The roles were cast perfectly, though, and it's hard to find a legitimately bad Steven Spielberg movie. Including the titular character in several of the key moments of the 20th century was great, even if it did pander to the Baby-Boomer Generation that, ultimately, fucked it all away. |
