Forrest Gump: Love it or Hate it?

Love it or hate it?

Both.

It's an extremely well made movie, compulsively watchable, very funny, and full of quotable lines. When I am flipping through the channels and it comes on, I have difficulty turning it off

At the same time, I agree with St. Widge's complaints about the film's point of view; these issues bothered me at the time and they still do.
