Amazing

Rating: 10/10 (3 June 2002)

When you take the time to watch this movie, you'll soon learn that all it takes is great actors, script, scenery and direction to make a truly wonderful film without the computer technology and special effects of today. Some may find that the 3 hour showing is a bit long, but you'll probably realise that it won't feel like 3 hours.
All the characters are portrayed superbly by their respective actor; Percy is the guy you'll love to hate, Brutal is excellent as Paul's co-worker on the Mile, and John Coffey is just truly amazing, as is Michael Clarke Duncan who portrays him.
I first read the Green Mile when it was introduced as a six-part novel in series form, and when I finished each one I couldn't wait until the next one to come out to see what would happen next. When they made it into a movie, I like some other reviewers here, was hesitant about it being any good, seeing as how most King books don't turn into movies all that well, with the exceptions of a couple. But I was wrong on that part. The Green Mile is a truly wonderful story, both in book and movie form and is a definite must see and read!
