Ring of Fire

Jewel did an amazing job portraying the timeless beauty June Carter Cash. I don't think it's fair to compare this movie to Walk The Line or other works based on the life of the Carters/Cash Families. They were all written through different views and different people. Matt Ross did an okay job playing Johnny Cash, but the vocals were lacking in the music area from him. Jewel astounded me with not only her vocals but her appearance as well. There were quite a few spots in the movie where Ross carried himself exactly they way we were accustomed to seeing Mr. Johnny Cash. He also had some physical similarities as well. It's hard to try to mimic a man with such unique handsomeness and features.

Overall, I would totally recommend this to Carter/Cash fans and anyone else interested in a quick "behind the scenes glance" through the eyes of Mr. John Carter Cash.

This was a horrible, horrible movie!! The Ross dude was TORTURE to watch; they must have just pulled him in off the street!!! I loved "I Walk the Line," and I was so looking forward to a movie from June's perspective. This may be a movie from June's perspective, but I didn't think that Jewel would be the best actor in the movie!!! The director and the cameramen must have all been high or drunk. Worst movie I have seen in years!!!

This was to be about June and the love of her life Johnny Cash. There was no chemistry between them in this movie. I am not even sure why this movie was made it was the same story as Walk the line. Just not as good.

Matt Ross was not the person to play Johnny he didn't even look like him. Every time he was on the screen until someone said John I would think who is he? Jewel sang like Jewel instead of acting and singing like June. How can they make this movie without June and Johnny singing Jackson? It was not sang once in this movie.

This movie skipped all over the place it was boring. There is no way it could compete with Walk the line.

This movie was awful. If you've seen Walk the Line, this will be absolute torture. Jewel has a great voice, but this movie was all over the map. I know this was Junes story, but it jumped time and time again. With Walk the line, you had a sense of how difficult it was for June to be divorced twice before Johnny. This movie just dumbed her down and not nearly enough music- IE: Jackson. I have to watch "Walk the Line" again to get the bad taste out of my mouth. As for the actor portraying Johnny, it was an absolute miss. He looked the same age at the beginning of the movie as he did at the end, for the exception of the final scene. Did I mention that he couldn't sing either? The same goes for June (Jewel). It wasn't until the end that they decided to give her a few wrinkles and gray streaks, however she did a nice job singing.

As a lifelong fan of JC, I watched this for the story, knowing the telling of it wasn't going to be good. It made me angry to watch this shamefully bad production, but that is the general feeling anyone with any sense has when watching anything Lifetime puts out. Maybe I'm spoiled because Joaquin Phoenix actually made an effort. Who is this loser playing the Master? Ironically, Jewell is one of my favorite singers after JC, so it was nice seeing her playing June, I feel like she did alright with what she had to work with. I'm glad I watched it, because of the story, but I really didn't enjoy it at all. Shame on Lifetime. As usual.
