Editorial Review: 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. --Doug Thomas Average Rating:
 Rating:  - One Of The Best Book-To-Film Translation I've Ever SeenA few weeks ago, I finished Stephen King's novel "The Green Mile" and realized that I was about the only person on the planet who had not seen the film adaptation. Upon viewing the 3-hour piece of work, I was amazed by the degree to which King's writing was able to be translated to the big screen (as opposed to, say, "Hearts In Atlantis", which left much to be desired). The plot of the film is exactly the same as that of the book, centering on a 1930s death row prison and the strange ...

Rating: - A FORCE OF NATURE AND MOREThis review covers the two-disc special edition which lasts about three hours. The first disc is rated 18, the second 12, but do not be misled, I found the emotional impact of the second is as great as the first, and not for the deaths to come. I understand the negative reviews that some have given this movie. I was quite prepared to give it a one star rating after about the first 15 slow minutes. But I watched the whole thing. And gave it five stars. It is hard to sum the film up without ...

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 you ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
