Green Mile

Pros: great plot and great acting
Cons: long

OHHHHHH MY!!! I do not think I have seen a movie in a long time that I would sit through three hours just to see. This movie was great! The plot and the acting made the movie. The Greenmile was acted to the fullest!
Tom Hanks was great in...

Pros: Entertaining, thought provoking
Cons: None

"The Green Mile" has two levels to it that are both satisfying and sad, kind of like the feeling you have when a good friend visiting has to leave. The movie is long (necessarily so) but it doesn't seem to be because the emotional aspects of...

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: Will grab your attention
Cons: Violence, Some disturbing scenes

Usually after reading a book, I have no desire to see a movie based on it. I already have my own ideas about what the characters should look like, how they should talk, etc. Well, I can honestly say that this film surpassed every expectation that I had....

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: 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: wonderful, well-written plot; realistic story; unbelievable actor portrayals
Cons: The movie is 3 hours long

"The Green Mile," written by the directors of "The Shawshank Redemption" was a story about a miracle man who was convicted of murder and sent to Death Row. Although long, I found it to be a wonderful, well-written story full of...

Pros: screenplay, acting, story, goes along with the book, a tearjerker!
Cons: length (if with antsy kids), i wouldn't go if you don't wanna cry...

I have yet to see a movie that comes as close to this as the book in style, drama, and creativity. I read the book a year ago and was pleased when the movie was released and was NOT disappointed.

Tom Hanks gives a splendid performance as...

Pros: Excellant Story Line
Cons: Long Running Time

The Green Mile is an excellant movie to go see in my opinion. Why do I say this. Well one this was another good cast with Tom Hanks who seems to get better and better each year. The movie gives some insight on the 1930's which is cool if you like some...

Pros: Great Feeling
Cons: Drawn Out

Okay, and I thought "Titanic" was long. All I have to say is bring a pillow and a blanket and get ready to be stuck in your chair for a LONG time! This was one of the longest movies I have ever seen! I suggest going to the bathroom before...

Pros: Good adult movie
Cons: Not for children

I saw this movie because I read the book while I was in jail it was a great book I read the whole book in two days,I was afraid that the movie would not match up to the book as movies often do,but i was surprised how well the movie captured the meaning...

Pros: Great Acting, Brings out emotions in you, Great Plot
Cons: A bit glitzy, really long

Nowadays, the movies is just an excuse to get out of the house. In the old days, people would get in their tuxedos, and drive in their fancy cars to see James Cagney movies. This would have been one of those movies. Tom Hanks plays a Death Row Prison...

Pros: Excellent acting
Cons: None

My husband and I saw the movie, The Green Mile starring Tom Hanks a few weeks ago. We had heard so much about this movie. This was one of the most excellent movies I have ever seen. It is a movie for all ages. In fact there were an 80 year old couple...

Pros: the entire movie!
Cons: some people could have probs with the length

THE BEST MOVIE OUT NOW AND FOR A LONG TIME. Amazing Amazing Amazing Amazing! I’ll be glued to the television Oscar night because heres a BIG TIME contender…it might not be able to stand up to movies like American Beauty….but moving on…..you definitely...

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...
