Green Mile

Pros: a guy catchs on fire while being executed.
Cons: extreme length, and rather boring story

This movie seems like a nice family movie at first. I mean its got Tom Hanks, Mr. Forrest Gump himself. But instead of being a riveting story of overcoming person struggle it is a story about a huge mentally handicapped black guy and his adventures...

Pros: gorgeously filmed, very well acted, solid themes
Cons: way too long and a little heavy-handed

For his first film since 1994's stunner The Shawshank Redemption, Frank Darabont adapts another Stephen King prison drama. But The Green Mile is a much more emotional tale about life and death ... and miracles. The supernatural element never overwhelms...

Pros: Great cast, amazing story, brilliant writer-director-producer
Cons: Length may be an issue with some people.

Rarely when watching a movie do you find such a gem as The Green Mile. Several things brought me to this movie, and none of my reasons included what reviews were saying.

First, you have Tom Hanks, while an amazing actor, most of us have grown...

Pros: Everything about it
Cons: Length--over 3 hours

Steven King's "The Green Mile" is one of the best films I've seen in the last few months. Although it is over three hours long, never once did I consider escape. Steven King has always excelled at portraying the "normal" (as opposed...

Pros: Excellent characterizations, in-depth examination of good, evil, and power.
Cons: Largely depressing and it runs a little long

Very unsettling and a little too long in its running time, this film is part dark fantasy and part serious social commentary on good and evil and the death penalty. It is absolutely not a film for younger viewers.

Based on a Steven King story,...

Pros: Great acting-Hanks, Duncan, Great writing-King
Cons: I'm still thinking.

I am a huge fan of both Stephen King and Tom Hanks so of course I had to see this. I was not disappointed. I haven't talked to anyone who has.

Besides Hanks, it stars Michael Clark Duncan and David Morse. It takes place in Louisiana at the...

Pros: The incredible acting.
Cons: The length of the movie, although you will hardly notice it.

At first I was a little skeptical about seeing this movie. As an avid Stephen King fan, I am very careful when seeing movies that have been made from his books. But, as soon as the movie started, all of my fears were settled. This film is incredible. The...

Pros: Although it's a tear jerker, it's a comedy too!
Cons: it's three and a half hours long! but it doesn't seem it..

What movie is three and a half hours long, taken place in the early 1900's and was truly a tragedy? No, not Titanic. The Green Mile. The Green Mile has proven itself to be one of the best movies of the year if not the decade.

A story about a...

Pros: Excellent Cast
Cons: One very cruel character.

A few people told me they were not interested in seeing this movie because of it's violence or death row situation. This movie was so deep and had many angles that I wish could be. The acting was superb and the good won out over the evil. Miracles...

Pros: A great unraveling story
Cons: A gruesome scene with an electric chair.

"The Green Mile", a movie I saw just last week because "Any Given Sunday" was sold out. As I walked into the theater I remember thinking how this would probably be another pathetic tearjerker, a movie solely designed to take the...

Pros: Movie making at its best
Cons: There are none.

This movie is one of the best movies I have seen in a very long time. The GENTLE GIANT in this movie will simply warm your heart. He is a simple minded, gentle soul with a miracle gift. I sat through this movie totally awestruck! There are many...

Pros: Excellent
Cons: could have given a little more details

My boyfriend and I decided to go to the movies and we had heard good things about this one. I was an excellent movie. We went on a double date with my boyfriends roommate that has already seen the movie. It is a movie you will laugh and cry to. I just...

Pros: Great acting, great story.
Cons: I've heard some people don't like that it is 3 hours long.

The Green Mile is one of the few books by Stephen King that I have not read, so I cannot compare the movie to the book. In my view the movie was excellent.

Tom Hanks again showed the incredible range of his acting skills. I don't know the...

Pros: The plot , the Actors and the Director, are Very Good.
Cons: I really can't think, of any at the moment.

If you haven't seen the Green Mile. Do, it is a very good movie.

Some words are never spoken, but, you feel them, in your spirit.
You know what Paul ( Tom Hanks) , is feeling for the people, who are not guilty of the Crime, that...

Pros: You never would have thought a man that big could do such a crime!
Cons: It could have been an hour shorter, and I still would have loved it! My ass was killing me!!!

I fell in love with this move, I truely did. The cast was so well prepared, and the movie itself made me cry several times.. I really think that Tom Hanks did a terrific job in this film, I think that he should get and academy award or something! Right...
