The books were so good, I was almost afraid to see the movie.

Rating: 10/10 (27 June 2000)

The movie was masterfully done by someone who knew the importance of following the books closely. It's fantastic. Michael Duncan is a perfect John Coffey and the directors do a fabulous job accentuating his size. Tom Hanks is stunning, as usual, and his rapport with Duncan makes a good movie great.
