Superb.......nothing else can describes it

Rating: 10/10 (5 April 2001)

This has to be my favourite movie of all time without a shadow of a doubt. Not only does Darabont's excellent script and direction make this film wonderful enough but also the cast. Tom Hanks is perfect as Paul Edgecomb and Michael Clarke Duncan is superb as John Coffey, (like the drink, only not spelt the same!) who definately deserved that Oscar for best supporting actor. The supporting cast including David Morse, Doug Hutchinson, Barry Pepper, Michael Jeter, Sam Rockwell, James Cromwell, Bonnie Hunt etc. etc. also deserve applause for their excellent supporting roles. The fact that this movie is three hours long does put people off but the time flies by so quickly, I didn't want it to end. With all movies there are some flaws and this one has two. The dry sponge and the present day scenes. Do not let that put you off though, every second of this film is certainly a joy to watch crammed with every possible emotion jabbing at your heart. A lot of people ask me, "is this better than Shawshank?" I would say yes it is but why don't you decide for yourself. I am a huge fan of Tom Hanks which probably makes me a bit biased but once you watch this, you'll realise what an excellent actor he is.
In short, JUST WATCH IT and I gurantee you will not be disappointed!!!!!!
