Summary: Best movie ever made.
Review: This rivetting tale based on a Steven King novella captures the greatness of a man when faced with troubles behind the cold walls of Shawshank prison.
Rating:
Summary: This is a perfect movie.
Review: An apparent linear story surprises with a twist ending that takes a great movie and improves upon perfection. A joy to behold. I put only Casablanca and Contact in this category. (I hope they didn't err and choose not to enhance for widescreen. That would be a terrible mistake... see Titanic.)

Summary: One of the 1990's top 10 films
Review: Being a Stephen King fan, I first read the novella upon which "The Shawshank Redemption" is based when I was 12 and immediately considered it my favorite King work. What amazed me is how Frank Darabont not only remained faithful to the book but made it his own and, more importantly, into one of the decade's most moving. There's great poetry in Morgan Freeman's voice and the last 15 minutes of the film absolutely reduced me to tears. I can't wait until the DVD version is released so I can appreciate the film in all its splendor.

Summary: Best movie I've ever seen
Review: This is my favorite movie of all time. What can I say that hasn't already been said? The acting is excellent, the story is fantastic, the surprising ending (I never would have guessed!) is exciting and touching. I have high hopes for 'The Green Mile'. The novel is Stephen King's masterpiece, and I have a feeling it might be every bit as good as Shawshank. Let's all hope so!

Summary: The Best Movie Ever Made
Review: Could this possibly be the greatest movie ever made? Well in my opinion it ranks up there in the top two at least. I can run scene after scene in mind. Every scene is powerful and wonderfully adapted from Stephan King's Rita Hayworthe and the Shawshank Redemption( true fans of this movie will enjoy the book also).I can not count how many times I have watched this movie. It is almost once a month. This the only movie I do not get tired watching. This should be in any serious movie collection.

Summary: An important experience.
Review: What can I say that hasn't been said by so many others? This film had such an impact on me that I can often distinguish people by whether or not they have seen this film.. People who have seen it.. they know what I'm talking about. People who haven't might read all these glowing reviews and say "it can't be that good, it's only a movie.. what about all the other thousands of movies made?". I cannot speak for movies I have not seen, but what I can say is that this is far and away the most important film I have ever seen. Rare indeed is the film that can actually make you take a look at your own life; rarer still the one that can effect change. I have never seen any story, in ANY medium, that comes close to exploring the depths of love, hope and friendship as this film does.

Summary: This is one of the greatest movies of all time!
Review: I don't have the DVD yet (not available at this time) but when i saw it in the theater, i have to go back the next day and bring all my friends. There is no "big" action or hot sex sceens, like other typical hollywood movies. It's all about the story! Usually I don't watch drama unless it has an actor/actress that I like starring in it, like Al Pacino or Robert Denero, but I saw the movie when it was a bargin flic. I wasn't dissapointed at all! A great classic and should be on the shelfs on every english speaking house in the world. BUY IT ALREADY!

Summary: good but not great
Review: This is a good but not great movie. There are good performances, but nothing memorable. The acting is good, but the characters are like cardboard cutouts from other movies about prison. The plot is predicatable. The plot twists would be more entertaining for a grade school child. However, the movie has several violent scenes and language which make it wholly imappropriate for younger viewers.I did not feel that this movie gave me anything to think about. It may have several messages, but none of them are particularly interesting.
