If you wanna enjoy a good prision movie, rent any of Count of Mount-Cristo movies. Way better than this. Or if you just looking for sth entertaing go watch Kung Fu Panda
sharePay no attention to the previous comment. Papillion is an outstanding film with brilliant performances from McQueen and Hoffman. The OP is likely a teenager with a limited attention span.
shareYes the Count of Monte Cristo is great, Kung Fu Panda isn't even in the same league as a classic like Papillon! Are you on drugs? Papillon is one of the greatest prison escape films ever made. The OP's is a young kid or a troll.
shareI just went over some of Maniuis’s reviews; here are some of the films he has trashed:
Rear Window (#22 on IMDB’s top 250 – nominated for four Oscars)
Metropolis
One flew over the cuckoo’s nest
Casino (he thought the movie was too long)
Bullitt (boring)
Taxi Driver
Godfather II (2nd most overated movie ever)
Now – Maniuis says that English is his second language (he speaks three) and he is a professor at a university, but didn’t say which country. If true, then he is an educated man.
That strikes me as odd, since he dislikes so many movies that are considered classics. He also loves the “King of Queens.” I don’t – I don’t think Kevin James is funny, but since this show is one of the longest running sit-coms ever (perhaps the longest), I am obviously in the minority.
But I don’t go around saying that anyone who likes King of Queens is an idiot, which Maniuis pretty much says about those of us likes the movies he trashes.
As a professor, you should encourage different viewpoints, especially those that are 180 degrees different from yours.

A professor?! Perhaps an unemployed one. He's just a troll trying to stir some reactions....
"Microchanges in air density, my a$$....."
A "professor"? Yeah right, and I'm a NASA rocket scientist. Anybody can claim to be anything on the internet (just ask Notre Dame's Manti Te'o). So take his claims with a large grain of salt.
By the way, I'm a Rhodes Scholar with a PhD in microbiology...
I don't get why people are so keen to brag about the fact they have terrible taste in film.
shareOR you could not listen to this moron because Papillon is a great film...
shareI personally did NOT like this movie. It did great bo; therefore, I'm in the minority. I agree with the reviewer who said that instead of torture being entertainment, with regard to this movie, entertainment is torture. I just really hated it. Never a big McQueen fan. And I just wanted him and Dustin to brush their teeth.
shareI didn't really enjoy this movie, but I'm not saying it's a bad movie.
shareGo back under your bridge, Troll.
