Good movie, but not that great

Rating: 9/10 (17 June 2015)

Greetings from Lithuania.
"To Kill a Mockingbird" (1962) is very well crafted motion picture. Based on a famous novel (which i didn't read) it tells a story from the point of view of two young children. I won't spoil anything, but the story is not the most original or particularly interesting. Nevertheless, what makes this movie a very good one is it's acting - writing, directing.
Overall, "To Kill a Mockingbird" is superbly paced movie, at running time 2 h 9 min. this movie barely drags and due it's great acting and writing is entertaining from start till finish. On the other hand, to find this movie at No.84 in IMDb best movies of all time is a bit not right i think. The film is very good, but it's not that great - it's message here is very simple, yet not that deep. The whole movie is more like a fantasy then reality - but maybe that is how it looks through the eyes of children. Nevertheless. "To Kill a Mockingbird" is a very solid movie, but maybe a bit over-hyped.
