Summary: As good as it gets
Review: There is nothing about this movie I dislike. Gregory Peck is brilliant and so are all the other actors and actresses. How about the filming, directing, writing, plot, casting? Well, "As good as it gets" would be a suitable way of how I rate this movie compared to all others.

Summary: A big disappointment
Review: I really hated this movie and still to this day can't see what was so great about it. I thought it was one of the most boring films I have ever had the misfortune to watch. I love Gregory Peck, he has always been one of my favorites, but I certainly did not like him in this picture, nor anything about it.

Summary: My favorite film
Review: I was quite young the first time I saw this movie -- something tells me I actually saw it on the big screen. I do remember seeing it on TV a time or two when I was young. Eventually I read the book and came to enjoy and understand the movie more over the years. I hadn't seen it in many years when the 30th anniversary edition came out in the 90s, so I purchased one and eagerly watched it again. It was even better than I had remembered. I've read many of the reviews on here, but no one has mentioned the rather haunting music that accompanies part of the film. To me, that helped set the overall mood along with the photography and the fine fine acting. The film also evokes the an era when racial tolerance in the south was very limited -- but produced at a time when the civil rights movement was gathering momentum. See it through those lenses and it becomes a film that's not so much dated as reflective of the past, both the good and bad parts.

Summary: Hey, Boo.
Review: An amazing film. The AFI ranking, 34th, is absurd. This is easily one of the 10 best American films ever made.TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD does the impossible: makes a family film out of an unflinching look at racism and a rape trial. That is, I suppose, what makes it so powerful: it walks the line behind the lazy summer days of Jem and Scout's childhood, and the hard truths of their father's courtroom drama. TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD brings back the joys and the pains of childhood more accurately than any film I've ever seen. Gregory Peck plays an unforgettable Atticus Finch, and all of the supporting players, including the children, are great. Elmer Berstein's soundtrack is superb.

Summary: Excellent!
Review: We read TO Kill a Mockingbird in our English class, and I loved it. I would read the book a couple more times to get even more out of it. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find the movie very very good. Gregory Peck is PERFECT as Atticus. As well as Scout and Jem being played by the perfect people. The film is extremely moving, and provides even more want to read the book and get into the whole story. Some of my favorite scenes include the trial, Scout's talks with Atticus, and of course Radley's appearance. The setting of the Novel is perfectly portrayed, and lets us understand the book even better. Even if you didn't like the book, I encourage that you watch the movie becuase it was excellent!!

Summary: Dated but thoroughly watchable
Review: Though the film today seems somewhat dated and oversimplified in its views of racism, many powerful moments still shine through and Badham is very charming as Scout, who's point of view the story is told from. One particularly beautiful scene that I remember is the film's finale which involves her and Robert Duvall finally meeting in a personal, heartfelt way. Gregory Peck isn't terrific (and how did Peter O'Toole lose the Oscar to him?!) but fairly good.

Summary: Good Movie
Review: After reading the 1960 book I wanted to watch the movie, so our class watched it. I liked the movie but what I say, "Books are better then the movie," If they were to remake, this it would be PG-13 or R. So before you watch the movie, read the book. The actors did very well. enjoy

Summary: Dare I say, better than the book?
Review: When we read To Kill A Mockingbird in English I last year, I found it to be terrible. However, maybe it was because I was being forced to read it and I hate being told what to do. Maybe it was just Harper Lee's style of writing. Maybe if I read it again after seeing the movie I would appreciate it. Or maybe I really do just hate it. But the movie is incredible. Gregory Peck's Atticus is completely admirable, and Scout & Boo Radley are two of the most innocent and adorable characters. They're a trip, especially Scout! The trial scene is absolutely moving and makes you want to stand up against the injustices of the world, and the scenes with hate crimes can be downright scary. If you're like me and hated reading the book, RENT THE MOVIE. It won't dissapoint.
