Green Mile

Pros: excellent acting, and plot
Cons: 3 hours long

Ok, i have to admit from the begining, this one got me. I cryed, i admit it. Anyone, who doesn't was either really trying not too, or has not heart. I truly believe this to be the best movie of 2000 so far, and i don't see it being beat. Although, we...

Pros: a meaningful movie
Cons: no cons!

You know this is a great movie when at the end, the whole audience has tears silently running down their faces and are not ashamed to care who sees it. The Green Mile is one of those movies that are truly worth the price of a ticket to see. Tom Hanks...

Pros: Tom Hanks hits it
Cons: I got a numb-a&%

I am a huge Stephen King fan. I loved this book and read it in installments, haunting the stand-up paperback displays at my local mall week to week, wondering about John Coffey's fate and that adorable little mouse.

I also loved Shawshank...

Pros: Great story. Great direction. Great acting.
Cons: This film is LO-OOOOOONG!

"Stephen King? Isn't He That Horror Writer?"

Yes. Stephen King sometimes writes outside the horror genre.

Case in point: The Shawshank Redemption.

Second point: The Green Mile.

Both of the...

Pros: Great acting; people seem somewhat real.
Cons: A cute, little mouse has a very bad day!

If you are a fan of EC Comics (early 1950s), then you will probably enjoy this film. It has the same kind of plot structure as the old EC horror stories in Tales from the Crypt, Vault of Horror, and Haunt of Fear. King seems to be a big fan. The basic...

Pros: good actors, good movie ,good plot
Cons: none

If you are a Tom Hanks fan this is a must see movie. The show has great supporting actors,but John Coffey ,played by Duncan is a very big part of the show. He is not only dynamic in his role but is as big physically as he is big on the screen. The rest...

Pros: Brilliantly portrayed!
Cons: lengthy

This was by far the best movie of 1999, and possibly 2000. The acting was superb, and the plot was intriguing! Tom Hanks does it again! He never ceases to out do himself in each movie he is in! He is a dynamic actor and it is evident in this movie! I...

Pros: Heart warming, Godly and excellent morallity
Cons: A bit fictional

The Green Mile, one of this year's top movies so far is a must see. Tom Hanks and his extremely inspiring role for others is the lead in this movie, and he plays a prison guard for the block called the Green Mile. Everyday people come in for a few...

Pros: Very interesting, and socially horrific
Cons: It was too long. It was hard to capture the true idea of the movie because of the length

I enjoyed this adaptation of the Stephen King Tale. I am a devoted reader of Mr. King and I truly think that this was the closest the movie industry has come to capturing the essence of a King novel.

Although it was rather long, it gave us...

Pros: ultimately a positive movie
Cons: a bit gory in parts

This was an amazing movie. One of the most powerful and insightful movies of our time. In a multiplot theme, we are introduced to many characters of strength and value. The depth of the compassion exhibited by Tom Hanks and his fellow officers was...

Pros: deep and powerful
Cons: not to be seen on a bad day

The green mile is a film made to tug at your heart, and your tears. If this movie does not make you cry, you might want to check to see if you have a pulse. The three hours it takes are very well worth it, as the movie utilizes every minute for powerful...

Pros: many pros, best movie of the year
Cons: a little long for some

Don't believe the Oscars...The Green Mile is the REAL best picture of the year.

The movie is a very serious drama about a southern prison in the early 20th century. It is a Stephen King adaptation, but you wouldn't know it through most of the...

Pros: Great Acting
Cons: Unbelievable Plot

In the case of The Green Mile, a good plot may not always make a movie successful. The Green Mile involves death row guards at a penitentiary in the 1930s who experience a moral dilemma when they discover one of their prisoners, a convicted murder, has...

Pros: Touching! Well played out with every emotion.
Cons: Well, if you have a short attention span this might get to you...

The first reviews I saw of this movie were terrible! Article after article in certain magazines (thank goodness I don't recall the names!) stated that this movie was predictable and played off of old stereotypes. I'd like to ask one of those reviewers...

Pros: Excellent plot and acting.
Cons: None, but my back did hurt from sitting in the not so good movie seats for 3 hours

When I first saw the preview of this movie, I didn't know what to expect. I didn't hear much about it's plot, except that it was a movie that took place in the past and in a cell block. Some of my friends told me to go see it, and I'm glad I did. Tom...
