It's hard to fathom exactly why such a distinctly normal film as The Shawshank Redemption is so amazingly overrated consistently. It flopped when it was released at the cinema too, so it can't be put down to hype or anything. It's a reasonably entertaining movie. Why people have latched on to this movie though, I still really have no idea.

The book was better, but this movie provided visuals that the book could not. Good actors, but really, you can't beat the book!

I remember the first time I watched this one. It started... ok. The middle was... fine. And the ending was great. I mean, its ok. But... I need to find more in a movie. I tell you the thing that this movie has. Very good acting, very good plot. That's it. I mean, I need more to be the best movie ever made. It lacks revolutionary effects, revolutionary photography... script. It lacks. That's the word: Lack. It might be in other list. Maybe, one of the best movies about not getting up. Perhaps the best about friends. But certainly, not in my list of best movies ever.

A film with a lot of honesty and a life-long friendship - all in the unlikeliest of places, prison. Very powerful, it will leave you to determine the true value of life.

This movie is on some cable TV channel every week, it seems. I watch it every time it?s on and I own the DVD, that should tell you what I think of it!

Originally a book by Steven King, this is probably the only movie to be better than the book.
