This movie is a real gem. It is hard to find fault with it. Hanks is excellent in a role that clearly calls for him to suppress his natural slant toward humor. He is Paul Edgecomb; Tom Hanks is nowhere to be found. Yet he gives Edgecomb just the right flavor. One cannot find a single weak cast member! Michael Jeter should have got an Oscar. Michael Clark Duncan put just the right shading on his huge character to make him vulnerable and sympathetic.

I love this movie. It's one of my favorites. It's such an incredible storyline; very powerful and full of emotiones. I laughed, I cried through it. The actors really brought the characters to life and just drew you in where you forgot you were just watching a movie. You got caught up in it all and wanted to see what happened. I've recommended it to many people. Most I know after watching it find it hard to believe it was written by Stephen King. It's not his normal work but it's so good.

You're welcome and thanks for best response. I'm glad to know i'm not the only one to find this to be an excellent film. The characters are great and the storyline makes you think as well as feel. To me that is a great combination for a movie or a book.

I actually cried like ababy reading the book as well. It is without a doubt in my mind Stephen Kings best novel as well as the best movie adaptation of any of his works. Love that movie, may need to watch it again as I haven't seen it in a while.

I never read the book, but when I heard it's a movie by Stephen King, my thoughts went to some horror flick (I hadn't seen Stand by Me at that time). Watching the movie, I realised Stephen King is a genius in both horror and drama zones, and even comedy. The mix of funny moments, sad and meditating ones, really placed me in the middle of the story, and for 3 hours I felt all the action. I didn't even notice the hours pass, as most movies make me turn my eyes to the clock. As it happened to you, I also cried, maybe not like a baby, but relatively close. And not many movies succeed in bursting me to tears. Overall, it's an absolutely wonderful movie, and I recommend it to everyone.

I love that movie. I have it on dvd and i watch it over and over. My favorite part in the whole movie is when he brings the mouse back to life. My little girl is 9 and she cried from that part till the end of the movie. But you have to understand she has an old sweet soul...lol

When this movie first came out, it didn't interest me at all simply because I'm NOT a Stephen King fan at all. I did end up watching it tho on tv one day and ever since it's been tied with The Last of the Mohicans for my my all time favorite movie so far!! I balled like a baby during this movie. I think they did an excellent job with the choices they made for the entire cast.

I can relate to that! No way was I ever going to watch this movie. Stephen King? So what .. who cares? Was I wrong? I love this movie and it is very sad but brilliant and now it is one of my favourite movies. Yes I cried like a baby too. Tom Hanks was excellent as was Michael Clarke Duncan. What a great actor and how well he played this role. I would reccomend this movie to anyone, and frequently do so.

Oh, I love this movie, it's one of my favorites, it just deals with so many things, like injustice and special gifts from nature, and I love the way it's all entwined together to make a beautiful, beautiful movie. I think the story is one of Stephen King's best works. The movie is sad, but almost in a heart-warming type of way, where it leaves you thinking that there are good people in the world and that miracles do happen. It's truly a masterpiece.

Oh my goodness....this is one of those tearjerkers for me...and it's one of the few movies that faithfully follows the book by Stephen King....and oh yes, Tom Hanks was brilliant in it..I'm not a big fan of his, but in this he was a winner...

And I just have to add...hehe...everytime I see you you have a different avatar..LOL..you're confusing me...but then I tend to be confused most times

It is one of my favourite movies. I love better the acting of Michael Clarke Duncan, and his character was wonderful and so real... I love the way they represented methaphysics, very true and at the same time very challenging. All is perfect in this film! It is one of my targets as future cinematographer.
