Pros: umm...somewhat interesting story Cons: predictable, long, predictable
I don't know about you, but I'm just getting so tired lately of unpredictable movie plots. Being John Malkovich, Fight Club, Go, 3 Kings, all these movies suffered from the same disease. You had to keep your eyes only on the screen because you had no...

Pros: great acting in this movie Cons: 3 hrs long
A top-notch ensemble cast of actors, finely tuned in a perfect rhythm, is a beauty to behold on screen. Its impact is overwhelming, and can make what would otherwise be a pedestrian exercise at least enjoyable - even revelatory. That's exactly what...

Pros: Deep, emotion stirring, great plot, wonderful actors/characters Cons: 3 hours long, One pretty graphic execution scene
The Green Mile is a very special movie about a prison guard on death row who comes face to face with a miracle from God, an inmate sentenced to death for a crime he didn’t commit. This movie was so well written, directed and cast. The scenes will make...

Pros: Great Movie, Good special effects, Follows the books to a tee Cons: Long, but worth it.
Not very many movies can truly stay true to the story the original author has written. The Green Mile originally was published by Stephen King in 6 parts and after have read them I could truly see where each book ended and started in the movie. Paul...

Pros: Good cast Cons: Can't think of one.
Stephen King knows how to spin a yarn. This is another terrific adaptation of a King novel that delivers a bittersweet story of a depression era Louisiana prison on the death row cell block. It presents numerous interesting character studies that induce...

Pros: great movie very different Cons: noen uless you dont like long movies but hey get your moneys worth
I wanted to see this movie because it looked like it would be a very different and interesting movie. And it definitely was. I am very much a Stephen King fan. It defiantely was not like some of Stephen King's other works, but well worth the 3-hour...

Pros: stays true to the book, great acting Cons: no surprises if you read the book
I've always enjoyed Stephen King's writing, and "The Green Mile" was one of my favorites of his books. So naturally, I was very excited to hear that a movie was being made. It was a good movie, but it made me realize that there really is...

Pros: Tom Hanks, storyline Cons: length, executions
The Green Mile is perhaps the best movie of the year. Tom Hanks stars as a prison guard during the Depression, and as always, gives a great performance. However, the amazing performances by many unknowns are what gives this movie its boost from good to...

Pros: Hanks is great, story is great--bring your hankie Cons: Stupid bookends are unnecessary, stereotyped characters
I loved "The Shawshank Redemption." So did you, and if you didn't then you must be one of the most cynical and horrifying human beings on the face of the planet--really, shame on you. That was Frank Darabont's first Stephen King prison film...

Pros: Very moving movie! Cons: It might be about 10 minutes too long.
From the start to the end The Green Mile arouses all the emotions in your body thrusting you into E Block (Death Row) at Cold Mountain Penitentiary. This movie will consume you from beginning to end leaving you breathless as you exit the theater....

Pros: Wonderful plot and acting Cons: none
While around 3 hours long, the movie version of Stephen King's "The Green Mile" immerses you so deeply in the story you don't feel it. Many movies I see lately make me yearn for that full-bladdered feeling so I have the excuse to get up and go...

Pros: Hanks, mr.jingles, surprising twists Cons: none that I can see
Hanks manages to make a great movie everytime. I went into this movie with some trepidation only because I hate to have the plot ruined by me finding out the ending before I see the movie. I purposely advoided all press about this movie only to have the...

Pros: Power of Healing Cons: Fiction
Incredible acting takes place throughout the movie, Green Mile...but doesn't compare to the most enjoyable feature, the mouse. Alone, harmless, and hungry we follow every day life with the sweet little mouse. The mouse Voyages to receive food from Tom...

Pros: A great storyline! Cons: A lengthy movie, but worth it.
I am always on the lookout for a good movie. When I decided to see The Green Mile, I was surprised that it wasn't a good movie. It was a GREAT movie! I am a pretty hard judge of movies. I guess I just expect a movie to be good (especially with all the...
