John coffey works supernatural miracles. But will this falsely convicted gentle giant stave off his own execution? Studio: Castle Rock Hm Video Release Date: 08/29/2006 Starring: Tom Hanks David Morse Run time: 188 minutes Rating: R Director: Frank Darabont
Amazon.com:"The book was better" has been the complaint of many a reader since the invention of movies. Frank Darabont's second adaptation of a Stephen King prison drama (
The Shawshank Redemption was the first) is a very faithful adaptation of King's serial novel. In the middle of the Depression, Paul Edgecomb (Tom Hanks) runs death row at Cold Mountain Penitentiary. Into this dreary world walks a mammoth prisoner, John Coffey (Michael Duncan) who, very slowly, reveals a special gift that will change the men working and dying (in the electric chair, masterfully and grippingly staged) on the mile . As with King's book, Darabont takes plenty of time to show us Edgecomb's world before delving into John Coffey's mystery. With Darabont's superior storytelling abilities, his touch for perfect casting, and a leisurely 188-minute running time, his movie brings to life nearly every character and scene from the novel. Darabont even improves the novel's two endings, creating a more emotionally satisfying experience. The running time may try patience, but those who want a story, as opposed to quick-fix entertainment, will be rewarded by this finely tailored tale.

I can't believe people are saying horrible things about this movie. I guess it's because they don't want to uh...what's that word? oh yeah, THINK! And this movie is worth putting a lot of thought into. For all you people who didn't know, John Coffey was trying to bring back the little girls to life, ["I tried to take it back"] he probably was wandering out in the woods and he saw them. And he had to do that locust/bug thing with his mouth to show you what he does to the bad stuff he takes out. If ...

The "Green Mile" is a triumph as an incredible story and an incredible movie that tells that story. The actors all share equally in the strength and emotional impact of the storytelling. Tom Hanks is ostensibly the lead character, but you feel that all of the characters are critical to the story; even one tiny mouse. I won't go into the plot or setting of the story because the movie needs to be seen to do either of them justice. I will say that I have seen this movie in the theater, on VHS several ...

That it should've been, at least. But let's start at the beginning, which is, I might add, terribly slow. A lot of time passes before something actually happens. King & Darabont use this time to carefully put their chess pieces in place before making their move in the last 60 minutes or so. There's a host of details during the first 2/3s that later become significant. And since I'm not one of those who need to see fireworks of action and suspense from the first instant of a movie, that's fine with me. ...
