Summary: Leonard Maltin destroys his credibility with one deft stroke
Review: I agree with all the reviewers who bemoan the fact that you can only give a movie 5 stars. I also agree with the reviewer who said Leonard Maltin must have had a bad day when he reviewed this movie.This is a movie which, after 90 minutes, has you convinced that it will be the most depressing movie you have ever seen, and then becomes one of the most satisfying movies to be experienced. It is, without doubt, the BEST MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN!

Summary: Great movie!!!
Review: It kept my attention throughout. I'm just sorry I didn't hear more about this film because it took me until 1999 to finally see it. Obviously it didn't get the attention it deserved.

Summary: The best movie I've ever seen!
Review: If there was a movie that deserved 6 stars this is it. It doesn't have action like some of todays movies, but it makes up for it in the story. An all around great movie.

Summary: A thorough portrayal of hope and courage
Review: When I had first seen The Shawshank Redemption, it was when I was about ten years old, and I hadn't really been exposed to some of the important issues that go on in life. When I saw this movie, it totally changed the way i go about my opinions, and my beliefs. The Shawshank Redemption is in my opinion, the greatest portrayal of how hope can never be destroyed. This movie goes far in depth of how mankind can develop in such a way that certain people, no matter the content of their character are judged by their personal rank in society. For example, the warden who is a terrible man is somehow put into the position where he has the power to decide how certain people will live their lives. In this story we also see a great display put on by Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman, that a great friendship can not be diminished by death, race, separation, or belief. Friendship is the key to living a happy life. You cannot be lonely and expect to be happy. As I end my little editorial, i want to share a quote, from this film. "Some birds aren't meant to be caged, their feathers are just too bright." This quote makes me think about how no matter how hard mankind tries, there will never be equality, in race, sex, power, and economy.

Summary: Amazing Story!
Review: It's a pity that you can only give 5 stars to rate this movie, its worth well over 8. I'm not a fan of Stephen King movies and was unsure about watching this movie, but I did, and wow! It's not very often we get to see such a strong cast in such an amazing film these days, but this movie delivers in both accounts. This movie is so well done and I love the way it pans out towards the end. Stephen King has proven he can write good dramas with out having to throw in machanical killers and possessed thingys. If you want to see a really superb movie you'll be a fool if you pass this one up!

Summary: INVINCIBLE CLASSIC
Review: A MOVIE THAT GRABS YOUR ATTENTION AND DOESN'T LET GO UNTELL THE VERY LAST MINUTES OF THIS FEEL GOOD MOVIE. FREEMAN SHOWS HIS ACTING HIS HIS BEST ROLE UP TO DATE, AND ROBBINS IS ONE ACTOR THAT GOES BEYOND BRILLIANT. THE SCRIPT ALONE IS SOMETHING TO BE WORSHIPED AND PRAISED FOR YEARS TO COME. EVERY MOVIEBUFF THAT KNOWS THE TRUE VALUE OF MOVIES LIKE THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION WILL HOLD THIS IN THERE TOP-TEN AND NEVER LET GO!
Rating:
Summary: Excellent movie!
Review: Shawshank Redemption is the greatest prison movie ever. Both Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman play their roles with such brilliance. I could watch this movie all day every day and never get tired of it. It's extremely sad, and everyone should appreciate what those poor men in that movie went through. To think, things like that really happen. America could learn from this.
