Will be considered a classic in years to come.

Rating: Null/10 (15 October 2001)

I own this on DVD + I don't think I will ever get bored of it, it really is a fantastic film. Tom Hanks is showing good form, and Michael Clarke Duncan is probably the only actor in the world who could have played John Coffey so well. All the characters are well thought out and portrayed, and you really begin to feel a closeness and familiarity with the prisoners, and the officers working at E block. From Brutal, Percy, Eduard Delacroix, Wild Bill etc, all the characters are real, and the part where John Coffey is showing Paul Edgecomb how the Katie and Cora really died, it really is chilling and will send a shiver down your spine! I don't think this movie got the credit it deserved when it was first released, but in a few years this will be regarded as a classic, beautiful film - and it is hard to find fault. People talk about it being too long, but I think this type of film needs to be. A great film!
