Worth watching but overrated!

Rating: 6/10 (22 June 2013)

In my opinion this movie is far from the greatest movie of all time. Thou, it's a thrilling story, includes great acting and visually constitutes of some extraordinary cinematography. The overall impression you're left with after watching the shawshank redemption does not make a lasting one. I don't know if it's the relatively dull undertone or the mainstreamness of its story style, which makes it a rather ordinary movie experience. I believe the Godfather was a better choice for the number one spot, however there are a lot of other great ones out there.
I don't regret watching this movie, it's well worth its 2,5 hours and I recommend you to watch it for the movie classic it is. But I wont bother to see it again.
