THE MOST POWERFUL MOVIE OF THE YEAR!!!!

Rating: 9/10 (13 December 1999)

Don't pay attention to snotty critics who say that this film/masterpiece is one of Tom Hanks' worst films. This movie was awe-inspiring. See this film!!! It is worth walking an extra mile to see. Tom Hanks, Michael Clarke Duncan, David Morse, James Cromwell, and the rest of the cast should be commended for their work on a sure-fire Oscar contender. Tom Hanks deserves the Best Actor this year. It may be tough, but his southern drawl which one him his second statue has a definite chance of getting him to the podium again. Stephen King and Frank Darabont are geniuses. With those two working together, they are bound for Oscar glory. Kudos to Frank Darabont on a spiritually engrossing script. He deserves Best Director and Screenwriter, that is if American Beauty doesn't beat him to the chase. Bottom line: DON'T MISS THIS FILM!!!! YOU'LL BE SORRY IF YOU DO!!!!!!!
