Hanks is a big lib, boycott him. We don’t need those folks in Hollywood, but they do need us.

It is a stupid title. Just from the searchability factor it is stupid.

It looks awful to me. I personally detested Forrest Gump, but most people seemed to like it.

Boycott Liberal Hollywood. We know who the conservatives are.

I've never seen him turn in what I'd say was a great performance. He was OK in Private Ryan but every other main character in that film was better...far better.

I have nothing in particular against the people in the film. Tom Hanks has made enough pretty good movies over the years that I’ll give him a tip of the hat. But I get the impression that this film involved some extreme de-aging, and that whole evolution of the technology gives me a bad feeling. How bad was it?

“Who Framed Roger Rabbit?,” “Forrest Gump” and “The Polar Express,”

I absolutely hated all three of those dumb flicks. Especially Gump. Zemeckis sucks.

“Zemeckis has a number of hits under his belt, including “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?,” “Forrest Gump” and “The Polar Express,”

Idiot writer, ‘Polar Express’ was a flop and doesn’t mention ‘Back To The Future’.

Hanks couldn’t buy off the bad pre-release reviews apparently. Having said that a 50 million dollar budget even adding in the additional marketing cost isn’t much. Doesn’t sound there was great expectations from the get go. Not sure why those involved bought into this tripe unless there was real financial shenanigans going on to get people paid a lot of money.

Is the title a tribute to the wife of Zeus, Here (also known as Hera)?

Well I guess I won’t see ‘Here’ here or anywhere. Not there, or elsewhere. Nowhere.

I think in the past 10 years, the libs forgot how to make a decent movie due to the woke ideology.

Apparently Tom Cruise is immune because he's a Scientologist.

He can’t open! The shark jumped at Ladykillers. You could say Perdition but that was an ok movie. Hanks nearly ruined Elvis.

“I have to give all the credit to (former Miramax and Sony Head) Bill Block who had the courage and had the vision to understand the movie and make it,” Zemeckis told Deadline.

Maybe he shouldn’t have insulted half his audience the week before?

I always thought Hanks was a little too lispy and effeminate in Bosom Buddies and nothing has really dissuaded me since.

I did kinda like Castaway but that was because of Wilson.
