deserving...?

Rating: 8/10 (26 February 2007)

#2 out of 250... dnt get me wrong the movie is great, but I cant imagine how this movie is so well liked. sure it has a great story line, plot, and ending. everything a good movie needs. but it is all talk. every part is predictable. i knew right from the beginning that the one new cell mate who told Andy hes innocent was going to be shot and killed. yadayadayada was all i heard for the 2hr 30 min movie. i loved it, but expected a lot more after reading the comments before watching... i don't know why, but i just expected more from this film. i just felt that it culd have gone the extra mile and be deserving of the best film ever made.
