Definitely a very good movie, though I don't think it should be ranked as the best of all time by IMDb. Because of the nature of the IMDb's consensus voting I think it gets to the top because it's the most difficult movie to dislike, rather than one which might be better, but contain challenging elements which might cause some people to rate it lower. I don't want to sound too down on this film though because I do like it. It puts across its themes of hope and redemption well, it's got a great script, and great acting across the board. Some of the plot seems a little forced at times, but the movie does a very good job of allowing the viewer to sympathesis with Andy Dufresne and root for him to succeed.Dennisvaniersel
Really good movie. But not necessarily the best movie ever. Watch it, but don't expect a masterpiece.toopsy

I remember my brother saying one of our teachers believed Andy to be guilty, hence the "redemption" part. Is there actually evidence to back this up?akuma587
It is a very solid movie. Does it deserve to be as high on as many lists as it is, of course not. But I guess the draw of this movie is that it is high art that just about everyone can relate to. That is hard to do. So in that way, this movie is quite an accomplishment.ecnered
One of the most inspiring films of all.jml897
It's impossible to hate this movie.ElPiscoSour
One of the comments said that I shouldn't expect a masterpiece by watching this movie.Well well, turns out I actually got a masterpiece. Amazing movie, we can debate all night whether or not it deserves to be ranked so high, but at the end of the day it's still a beautiful masterpiece.

I wouldn't call it the absolute greatest film ever, but it's up there. I'd say it's the most inspiring film ever though.Linkmaster89
Excellent. One of the best movies I've ever seen.Agnezious
I thought this movie is so overrated but the script was really good. The only reason why I called this overrated because top 10 of all time??? NO, just no.Showing items 1 – 15 of 90
