Green Mile

Pros: moving, touching, captivating
Cons: long

I waited three weeks to be able to get one, of my video rental store's 12 copies, of The Green Mile. I finally got my chance last Friday night. Usually, if I plan a night of movie watching, I rent 2 movies. When we saw The Green Mile was 2 tapes long,...

Pros: Touching emotional tale
Cons: Stereotypical minor characters

The Green Mile is a very accurate adaptation of the Stephen King novel of the same title. In many ways, the movie is better than the book, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Released as a set of serialized segments, the novel is choppy and repetitive, even in...

Pros: easy to follow, story revealed gradually
Cons: very long, interest must be kept

The Green Mile, starring Tom Hanks is a lengthy, yet captivation movie. It is based in the time in the South where African-Americans weren't equal, and the death penalty was frequent. The movie is about three and 1/2 hours long, but the plot keeps...

Pros: It's a really great movie and you'll most likely enjoy it.
Cons: It's about 3 hours long and it's kind of disgusting in some parts.

When I heard about this movie, I wasn't too interested, not being a fan of Tom Hanks at all.But when I actually went to see it, that was a different story.The movie takes place sometime in the 60s I believe and it begins as an elderly man reflecting back...

Pros: great actors, great movie, great story
Cons: not for small children, long movie

I went to see The Green Mile with a friend, because she is Stephen King fan and she had read the book and was sure I would like it. She was right. The actors, Tom Hanks David Morse and company, were absolutely awesome. The story itself is something to...

Pros: wonderful adaptation of the book
Cons: very long movie

Stephen King can be proud of his latest movie. Everyone who read the book/series has an opinion on whether they liked the fact that it was released in six paperback volumes. Some enjoyed the suspense of having it drawn out over a period of time. I for...

Pros: Wonderful plot, keeps your attention every minute
Cons: None!!

From the first time I saw the previews for this movie, I immediately wanted to see it. I love Tom Hanks and knew that any movie he was in must be good. Well, Tom didn't disappoint me.

Tom plays a prison guard on the "Green Mile",...

Pros: great actors
Cons: kind of long

The Green Mile was the best movie yet. Although the movie was long it was well worth it. The movie brought tears to my eyes and it really made me think about life and how you view others. I can't wait for it to come out to buy. Great Movie...and well...

Pros: Great story, wonderful acting, completely engaging.
Cons: A little convoluted and long.

I have to start off by saying that I am not in favor of the fact that "serious" films have been getting longer and longer. Just because a movie is long does not mean that it has weight and meaning. TITANIC proved that. However, some films need...

Pros: Emotionally Stirring
Cons: Lengthy

Over the holiday break, I invited my best friend to dinner and a movie. I was not all that excited about seeing the movie, but I had heard that it was a very deep and emotional movie; I wanted to share something like this with my friend. My emotions...

Pros: fabulous movie, amazing acting
Cons: long -- about 3 hours

I went to the Green Mile knowing absolutely nothing about it. I hadn't read the books, I hadn't heard much press hype from living in college-land. I was utterly amazed. Though I usually like more psychological movies that you have to think a lot about...

Pros: amazing
Cons: beginning lags

Another movie based on a Stephen King book is out. This one is based on a trilogy which I never felt like reading. Now I'm wishing that I would have. The Green Mile stars Tom Hanks, and he gives a wonderful performance in it. TGM is something different...

Pros: Makes you think
Cons: makes you cry

I did not want to go see THE GREEN MILE, but was forced into it by family when the movie we had went to see had film difficulty. I never liked anything by Steven King, and am totally turned off by HORROR films. This movie took my heart and turned it...

Pros: Great acting all around
Cons: Graphic cruelty

I put off seeing this movie because of its length. To you smokers, a medium buttered popcorn, a small Pepsi, and a pound of peanut M&M's is just about right.

Steven King is a genius. I know he is often criticized for being...

Pros: Excellent Film---extremely moving and spiritually driven movie
Cons: not for young ones....make sure to have a babysitter on this occasion. Many scenes very graphic

The Green Mile staring Tom Hanks is one of the Best movies that i have seen all year. It is extremely graphic and Gorey at times, but overall it is an emotionally moving film. It is about a group of people, inmates and guards, who live in a Prison...
