Forrest Gump is a terrible movie

Honestly, what even is the appeal? It's a movie about a passive man who takes zero initiative and let's stuff happen to him and just keeps getting lucky until he's fooled to take back a woman who baby trapped him because she has an std after overlooking him for years. There is zero motivation from the character of Forrest besides his love to Jenny.

I understand it's a cool concept but the execution was terrible and I can't understand why people even like the character or the movie.

And the worst part? So many people fell for it that IMDb has Forrest Gump as the 6th best film ever! Think of every movie except for Shawshank Redemption (which is also overrated), 12 angry men, TdK, LOTR 2+3 and it beat those movies.
