Pros: down to earth, good acting
Cons: a little lengthy
I saw this movie on a whim with friends. I had no idea what the movie was going to be about. I walked out of the theater with a whole new outlook on life. Tom Hanks really shines in this one. His true acting ability comes through. I've always loved...

Pros: Intriguing, and a must, must see!
Cons: Honestly....Absolutely nothing!
I went into this movie thinking it was going to stink. I was mistaken!
This was one of the most well-written movies I have seen in a long time. It was 3 hours long, but it felt like 3 minutes. Stephen King has done it again. Even though it...

Pros: Great cast, good story, excellent camera work
Cons: Audience not allowed to find their own meanings
As I reflect on the film, I keep coming back to one basic thought. It is the thought that struck me about 20 minutes in: This is a film that has been perfectly cast.
I had read Stephen King's serials while recovering from back surgery....

Pros: grate acting grate story.
Cons: the plot is a little hard to understand.
I saw this movie because my friend wanted to see it and so did I.
It is about this jail guard who also is a exicutioner. Who meets this black guy who is being accused of murdering two girls.
This movie compares to other movies I...

Pros: Awsome stars in a Stephen King book based incredible movie.
Cons: Nasty urination scene.
This movie ROCKS! I loved the book, and I loved the movie too! Even though it doesn't have everything the book has, it still is a remarkable achievement in film.
This film is long. Longer than most I've seen but it kept me on the edge of the...

Pros: Good acting, decent script, thoughtful handling of violence and sexual abuse
Cons: Predictable, too long, weak plot, not really thought provoking despite its serious, profound-wanna-be facade
I happen to find Stephen King's style monotonous and predictable, so when I say that this movie reeked of Stephen King, that may be a plus for some!
Apart from the reekage factor, my main problem with the movie was the complete disregard for...

Pros: Cinematography, plot line, character portrayal
Cons: Running length
When entering into the making of this novel-turned-cinema, director Darabont must have known that any work completed by author Stephen King might be devoured at any moment. He and King have created a nearly flawless film in The Green Mile. Visually...

by RAINA411 , Jun 24 '00
Pros: Absolutely wonderful acting and a great and moving story
Cons: A very grim and sad ending
A story based in the 1930's. Sometimes hard to watch today because of the significant racism. Yet I was drawn to watch it because I am a huge fan of Tom Hanks. He pulls off with yet another remarkable pieces of work. A story of a man who gives...

Pros: Interesting from a learning stand point, indirectly about goodness.
Cons: Ordinary, predictable, Tom Hanks is the only truly likable character.
I went to see this movie on the advice of my parents. They mentioned it's a Stephen King story, and that it looked good from the previews. I decided I'd see it, with my girlfriend, and see just how good it could be.
By the end of the movie...

Pros: Moves quickly and uplifts the spirit
Cons: A few gruesome scenes
Sure, you might be daunted by the three hour plus running time, but don't let that stop you from seeing this masterpiece. From start to finish, "The Green Mile" moves quickly. Sure, there are a couple of scenes that are a bit difficult to watch...

Pros: Multiple Oscar Material
Cons: None
I hadn't seen a movie in a theater for years because of the expense and I didn't want to waste my money, but ... the previews on TV looked explosive and I just couldn't wait for the video to come out. I wasn't disappointed with this movie. And I...

Pros: Excellent comparison of storyline to the novel version, Excellent acting
Cons: A little slow towards the beginning.
I watched the trailers and previews on the television for weeks, anticipating the release of The Green Mile -- practically counting the days. And I must say, it was definitely worth the wait!
I originally read Stephen King's The Green Mile a...

Pros: Tom Hanks, tear-jerker, that big tall guy
Cons: 3 hours but they went by fast
I saw this movie one day by mistake because all the other movies were sold out at the time that I wanted to see. After seeing this movie, I am glad that the other ones were sold out. Tom Hanks' three hour movies are just great. He keeps me awake...

Pros: completely involves you in it; the whole family will love it
Cons: POOR JOHN COFFEY!!!!
After standing in line 3 weeks in a row to see this movie, only to have it sold out, we finally got in to see it. I have to say that this was the most awesome movie I have seen in a loooooooooong time!
Tom Hanks was outstanding (as...

by Cynthia224 , Jan 30 '00
Pros: Excellent movie, casting and storyline
Cons: It's three hours long, your butt will start to hurt
The Green Mile, by no means, is any exception to the Tom Hanks rule. This movie is set in such a depressing place, death row, but yet you find yourself and the rest of the audience laughing. I lost myself in this movie. You become so caught up in the...
