Truly fantastic

Rating: 10/10 (4 July 2004)

To me this is one of the best films ever to grace the big screen, it has the lot. I have seen the green mile as well but this film stands shoulders above it, It made me laugh, shed a tear and smile from ear to ear, its truly a magnificent piece of cinema magic and i recommend this film to everyone. Stephen King knows how to write suspense and horror and Frank Darabont knows how to direct. The characters are brilliant and there performances a sight to behold, Morgan freeman is brilliant as the man who can get you anything (in my eyes this is his finest performance as an actor) The music as well adds to feel of the film and makes it an absolute pleasure to watch.
I think the film will appeal to anyone and will carry on being a classic for many many years to come, i don't think i have seen a film that has meant so much to me, it makes a change to watch a truly awe inspiring, golden film such as The Shawshank Redemption instead of the normal Hollywood action flick.
