Pros: Cast, Script Cons: Length
Most of Stephen King's movies have been less than satisfying compared to his books. Although he has had quite a few stinkers including They Come Back, and Pet Cemetary II, some of King's best works have been set behind bars, including the great...

Pros: it's really sad and entertaining Cons: it's very long
The movie Green Mile was very good. It's about Tom Hanks telling his story about his experience on the Green Mile. The green mile is where people go stay before they go to the electric chair. He talks about one specific man named John Coffey. John Coffey...

Pros: acting, strong emotions Cons: sadness of the movie
The Green Mile was one of the most heartwarming movies I have ever seen. The movie really goes inside of death row and lets you see it through the eyes of a jail guard. It was a really unique perspective. I felt it was also one of the saddest movies...

Pros: You get 3 hrs. of a movie for the same price of a 2 hour movie, just reward is given to some of the characters Cons: lengthy, slow beginning, ending just seems so unfair
(Plot and Ending are given away in this review)
Tom Hanks does an outstanding performance in this Stephen King movie!!!
Although it is very long in length, and seems a bit slow in the beginning, it is definately a must see. Real life...

Pros: Very engrossing, excellent acting Cons: long - 3 hours
I wanted to see this movie because it looked like it would be a very engrossing movie. And it definitely was. It was not like some of Stephen King's other works, but well worth the 3-hour length of the movie. I really felt for John Coffey's character...

Pros: Great cast, high emotion, sad but catchy plot Cons: None that I can see
I was not wanting to see this movie when it first came out because it starred Tom Hanks and by the looks of the previews that is who the film rotated around. But eventually I found myself in the theatre to watch it. As it started I knew this was...

Pros: Unbelievable movie Cons: three hours
Before I went to see this movie there was only was only one thing I knew about this movie; that it was 3 hours long. Normally I don't enjoy watching such long movies, but I decided to see the movie anyway. "The Green Mile" just blew me and the...

Pros: great cast, wonderful plot, perfect. Cons: If your impatient, and keep checking your watch, it won't be as good.
Some may complain and say it was too long, but it sure as hell was worth it. "The Green Mile" was one of the best movies I've ever seen. The cast as wonderful, and Tom Hanks was magnificent.
It relays some important messages...

Pros: story line Cons: length?
I went to see this movie because I had read the book by Stephen King. At first I was skeptical because of two reasons. Number one I don't really like King's books, and second of all I have yet to see a movie that was better than the book. So I went...

Pros: Acting of John Coffey Cons: Not even close to Shawshank!
This movie was at best fair. The acting was very good, especially John Coffey. I don't want to give any plot away because I really don't think the plot is worth getting into. It's a long drawn out move with every cliché in the book. It was produced...

Pros: Awesome acting, convincing characters Cons: Long...but time flies
Note: I have tried not to reveal any details of the movie's plot
On a recommendation from the inlaws, we rented The Green Mile this evening. They gave us minor details about the plot, and it promised to be a good movie.
It...

Pros: Great movie Cons: long
When I first went to the Green Mile, I did not know what to expect. I saw the movie opening night, and I had heard very little about it. When I walked out of the theater that night, I was amazed. The movie was well written, and extremely well acted out....

Pros: great character development Cons: sometimes the speech is a little hard to hear
In my opinion, most Stephen King stories are completely off when they move to the big screen. The Green Mile is the exception to that.
In short, the story revolves around John Coffey ("like the drink only not spelled the same") and...

Pros: A must see movie Cons: none
At first I didn't think I would enjoy this film when the movie initially started. Within five minutes, Tom Hanks and James Crowmell had me in such an interest that I went to see the movie a second time. I can't wait until it comes out on video so that...

Pros: incredibly acted, superbly directed, well scripted Cons: does lag in some places
INCREDIBLE! This film again showcases the amazing talents of Tom Hanks....he is deserving of an Oscar nomination.
Well scripted, superbly directed, the entire cast warms your heart and actually makes you CARE about them (even Percy, the sadistic...
