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: 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: Spiritual with a depth far beyond 'Touched by an Angel' Cons: I found no Cons.
Finally a Stephen King masterpiece that is capably converted to the big screen. And what a great conversion it is.
In our politically correct and cynical society, King's story points out symbolically some flaws in our criminal justice system...

Pros: Great story line, keeps you interested the entire time Cons: The movie is three hours, although you really don't feel it
The Green Mile, starring Tom Hanks, was a great movie. The basic plot is, a man is sent to the E block of a prison cell. The E block is death row and there are five prison guards and three prisoners. You basically go through learning more about...

Pros: great plot and great acting Cons: long

Tom Hanks was great in...

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: Action, thriller, sad and HAPPY all together in one movie!! Cons: I didn't watch it sooner. I haven't met the actors in real life. I didn't become an actress.
I waited for a long time to finally watch this movie. I read part of the book, people told me about it. When I finally saw it, I ranked it the highest as a movie-to-watch-a-billion-times. Jon Coffe (Character name forgot his real name oooops! lol) was an...

Pros: great all around Cons: n/a
I have to say that I read the series of the books that Stephen King wrote, and I was disapointed when I saw that they were making a movie out of that series. I feel like that the screenplays of movies do not give King the credit he deserves for being...

Pros: great film by a great filmmaker, Frank Darabont Cons: none at all that I know of
When I first heard about this movie I had no interest in seeing it, I figured, another prison movie, how could it be any different than all the others.
Was I ever surprised. I absolutely loved this movie, it is now one of my favorites. I even went...

Pros: It is well written and the actors bring it to life so well Cons: it starts out slow
Listen. If you want to see a movie that will make you think about a lot of things that happen in this world and has a lot of emotions in it, then you have to see a GREEN MILE. It is fantastic story written by the master horror author Stephen King.

Pros: Made you think about miracles and that looks can be deceiving. Cons: None
This was an excellent movie. The characters were well thought out and the plot kept me on the edge of my seat. Tom Hanks does an excellent job in his role as the head guard. The man who plays Coffee gave an outstanding charisma to his character. I...

Pros: The cast, the writer, the story Cons: My inability to write a better review of this one.
Tom Hanks/Stephen King!! Enough said about why I saw this movie. AND everyone claimed it was a MUST SEE. I have to agree.
I want to warn anyone who hasn't already viewed this film to bring along some soft tissue's cause it will pull at the...
