The green mile is an excellent book and movie

Whether or not Stephen King had intended to write such a moving novel, the Green Mile was phenomenal. There was such raw emotion, for me at least. All characters portrayed in the movie were exactly what I envisioned from the novel. All in all, it was great…

This was my second favorite SK piece. I could read this and Pet Semetary a thousand times and never get sick of either one. The characters are so easy to cling to and the stories as well. John Coffey is such a lovable and unforgettable character.

I read the book when I was on my senior trip in Germany, and actually stayed at the hostel one night instead of going out with my friends because I was so caught up in the story. When the movie came out, I warned my then boyfriend that I was going to cry at the theatre...I knew the emotional parts were gonna get to me. Boy, was I right! I literally sobbed out loud during the movie. I think Stephen King + Frank Darabont = GENIUS!

I love the Green Mile.It is a favorite of mine just fell in love with the John Coffey character. The book inspired me to go check out the prison where the movie was filmed.I also sent out xmas cards with a picture of the prison on them.Really like Green Mile.

When I was young and the books were first released, I read up to the part where

. I had to stop because I was so upset. That was silly, but I was young.

As an adult, I watched the film. It affected me so much and I cried so hard I told myself I'd never watch it again. Not because it was a bad movie - it is just the opposite- but because it was so sad. I decided to watch it for a second time about a year ago. While I cried just as much, and it was still just as sad, I felt a little better about it. John Coffey is an amazing character that I will never forget. (And I adore Michael Clarke Duncan)

I may read the books in the future, but I'm not sure if I could handle it. lol

I thought the book was better than the movie.... they cut alot out.

I read The Green Mile when it came out in serial form and picked up a second hand copy that was all in one book. The all in one had a few bridging scenes that, I thought made a more cohesive story. I thought that while the book was better than the film, both were so marvelous. Good casting and the right atmosphere.

I thought the movie was just as entertaining as the book,which is rare for me,but with Tom Hanks you can't really go wrong,IMO.

I really enjoyed the movie. I loved the casting choices, especially the role of John Coffey. The worst scene for me (other than the scene where Coffey died, of course) was when the guy was electrocuted without the sponge being wet. I despised that guard (sorry, I can't remember his name. I just call him the governor's sissy nephew.) and I especially enjoyed what the guards did to him afterward. I still don't think he got what he deserved for doing that.
