I want to start out by saying that it was overall a good movie. Great acting and great visual but left alot of story or at least some of the best of Johnny Cash out of it. It could have shown... Full review

Although the 2 hours and 15 mins isn't enough time to do Cash's early life justice, this movie is amazing. Both Phoenix and Witherspoon perform greatly, portraying the life of the relentless couple. The film is thoroughly entertaining for both Cash-lovers... Full review

In a greater movie, it would have been both. Walk the Line could turn out to be a monster chick flick, because its design is almost mythic: Saintly girl has to wait for country-rock bad boy to purge his demons and settle down. ... Full Review

The movie is less than apologetic to Cash's former wife Vivian and children than one would expect of a post-mortem biopic, although the story seems sincere and honest to be sure. Bing, bam, boom, Cash lands a deal and ends up on tour with talent now universally accepted as country music lore; Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Carl Perkins. ... Full Review

The musical performances are uniformly well handled and seem faithful to their sources.Walk the line is anticipated to be a big contender for acting and film awards but I dont see that happening.I give it a C+. This might be because the actor lacks Cashs hulking build, craggy and weatherworn features and gravelly voice. ... Full Review

Phoenix and Witherspoon are very gifted and accomplished actors, obviously, but I will go out on a limb here and say that their performances in this movie are the best that theyve ever given. There was an *awful* lot of Johnnys story left to tell and I felt a little cheated by the premature cutoff. ... Full Review
