I'm the only person I know that hates it... other than a waiter at Bubba Gump's, who admitted to me he hated it too.

I didn't start off disliking it, I'd say I was neutral. But over the years as I've seen it again in part or in whole it's gotten worse. I don't like the story, I feel it's too simplistic. Gump goes through a series of events without ever evolving as a character. To me that conveys a theme of "If you blissfully except ignorance your life will be fine." Also, the dialogue is inane and filled with deliberate catchphrases

I also don't like Hanks performance. It's a novelty, more of a caricature of mentally disabled people than a genuine performance. I also don't like the directing. It was flat and uninspired, certainly not worthy of an Oscar.

I actually find it interesting, because the people he comes in contact with are the ones that grow due to his actions. It's not about him growing as a person, its about what he did for everyone else in his life.

It probably has something to do with Rifftrax being a rotten turd of a website.
