    It was okay. A bit boring to me.

    I've only read book 1 of the 5 book series, and so far I like it, but I prefer the movie. HATE it near the end though, this is one of those movies that every time, when John Coffy's walking the green mile I just sad news I hate death scenes in movies.

    I watched the movie Parenthood the other day, with my husband and I was crying so much at the end...it wasn't a death it was a birth but still, I was so embarrassed because I try to be tough.

    That's kind of funny because I've seen that movie quite a few times, it's one of my favorites, and I sure never would've seen anything in it to cry over. Though it was sad when Jason Robards had to tell Cool that his dad wasn't coming back for him.

    As I recall, it was quite a long movie, which I don't like. So, yes it dragged. I never got it on DVD, never considered watching it again.

    It was reasonably faithful to the story. I thought Paul Edgecomb's fate was worse than John Coffey's.

    It was a decent movie, though I was shocked to find out it was a Stephen King movie. I usually avoid his movies because they're almost always horror movies, so I was surprised this one was one of his.

    This is generally true but have you seen Shawshank and Stand By Me? There was also Apt Pupil but the way the story ended was much better.
