    The Shawshank Redemption

    ★★★★½

    This film is undoubtedly great. I wouldn't challenge anyone who thinks it is the best they have ever seen.

    My only criticism is that the hopeful/optimistic resolution is unwarranted considering the continued abuse of prison labor and the inhumane jail and "rehabilitation" system in the United States. 30 years later nothing has changed. This is something that is simply not deserving of a happy ending.

    This film was very good, but I set my expectations so high that it was pretty much impossible for the film to live up to them.

    Very poorly executed documentary.

    It was far too long for its source material. The graphics made no sense at all (apparently the dark web is Reddit?!?!). Was strangely apologetic towards cheaters.

    This was so incredibly boring and the dialog and characters are just not well written.

    The movie was more interesting when it paused to buffer.

    I truly think anyone rating this above a 3 did not watch the movie because part 1 was the cinematic equivalent of torture and part 2 was only slightly better.
