WOW!~ I must say, I read the book(s) and I couldn't put it down...It was just so well done and Stephen King did a terrific (to say the least) job writing this work of art. Now, I never saw the Shawshank Redemption (but I now want to)so I can't compare it.
Althought I think the cast couldn't have been better. Michael Clarke Duncan totally blew me away with his acting abilities, and of course so did Tom Hanks. David Morse was good, so was the rest of the supporting cast (James Cromwell, Michael Jeter, Bonnie Hunt, Dabbs Greer, etc.)
Now, If you didn't care for it, I guess its an opinion, but I just thought it was a terrific work of art.
