I loved it although I hate Stephen King's novels

Rating: 10/10 (29 February 2000)

My history so far with S.King have been: don't like the books, hate the movies the base on them(this includes the tv-series). But then, Behold, "the Shawshank Redemption"! I loved it and when "the Green Mile" came out I had to see(same director). It beat "the S.R.". The book(s) are actually good but the movie is brilliant. Tom Hanks IS his character much like he was Forrest Gump. But the one thing that amazes me the most is where they found the guy that plays John Coffey... He is magnificent - and HUGE!!!! He is reason enough alone to go see this movie! All the characters are realistic and you cannot help loving the big guy or hating the little, and well-connected one. However, I'll try to control my enthusiasm and simply say: WHAT THE F**K ARE YOU DOING AT YOUR COMPUTER, GO SEE THE GREEN MILE INSTEAD
