Blows "Sixth Sense" away as the most amazing film of 1999...

Rating: Null/10 (12 December 1999)

The mysterious nature of John Coffey's character totally captivated me through the three-plus hours of this movie. Director Darabont correctly chose a leisurely pace to tell King's story. In this way, there was no need to be stingy with details; details which are key to the progression of the narrative. Those who scoff at the film's length have lost interest early on! This is a story of distinct contrasts. The miraculous healer vs. the death and torture of the "green mile". The giant and the diminutive mouse, Jingles. Anyone who dislikes this film is lacking in the humanity and forgiveness which should make us all brothers as God intended.
