I have been rather hesitant to write a review on this particular movie. Reason being is that there is so much to say and bring out about this Three hour and eight minute movie that I am worried I will forget something important. But with all that set...
Pros: Good plot, good acting, good story! Cons: predictable, not particularly profound or thought provoking
I watched “the Green Mile” on video recently, and found it an enjoyable movie – definitely worth seeing on video. I was, however, somewhat disappointed by the shallow treatment of most of the subject matter. It is not a profound movie, and I prefer...
I recently rented this movie on DVD not really knowing what to expect, but I figured "it is out of a Stephen King Movie book, I can't go wrong!". Well, I am glad to say that I was completely right! The movie starts of with an elderly man...
Pros: Great adaptation of the King novella... Cons: Ending was not what it deserved...
Next to "Misery" and "Dolores Claibourne", this is one of the only cinematic efforts that did justice to a Stephen King novel. Though it's a tad lengthy, it keeps a suspenseful pace and takes a few twists and turns that keep your...
Pros: Outstanding Actors, Watchable more than one time. Cons: A little over 3 hours, but worth it. Executions are gory
I cried and I laughed and I felt cheated and robbed.
Don't get me wrong by the latter, what I mean is, justice, you know? It is just another fine example of another gone wrong prejudice conviction. Many go free...
Pros: Michael Clarke Duncan was excellent. Cons: The death penalty scene, i hate watching people die like that.
The Green Mile : the last mile, death row.
I watched this movie because my father and friends recommended it to me. I was a little iffy because it was a two movie set. (Need I remind you of Titanic?)I watched the whole movie, straight....
Pros: emotional, great acting, wonderful adaptation Cons: 3 hours long
This movie staring Tom Hanks and Michael Duncan was a powerful adaptation of Stephen King's The Green Mile. The movie stays extremely close to the original story line of the book and was very well done.
Pros: Decent acting, competent all around Cons: Not better than the novel in any way, leaves out key elements
See also my review of the novel version. I borrowed one paragraph of this from that review, but the rest is original, and might help you to make your decision about seeing the movie, or interest you in the book further.
Pros: A superb work of art showing that life and death are tied and we must consider one while facing the other. Cons: You will eventually have to keep your handkerchief at hand while watching!
One way or another, we are all on death row, just for the simple fact that we are living, since the surest thing in life is death. So, Stephen King wrote a very well metaphor for a reflection on people's motivations in life, and what may come from our...
Pros: Outstanding film, superb characters, wonderful cinematography Cons: It isn't a fairy tale
What I had heard before I saw the movie:
It is a political movie about the death penalty - My husband
It is a movie about a mouse -My daughter
It is some prison thing -One of my 8th grade students
First of all, I will preface this review by saying that just because I hate “The Green Mile,” and you might like it, doesn’t mean that you are not smart. It just means that you are a typical movie-goer, who, when watching a movie, can take yourself to...
Pros: Heart warming and heart breaking, truely amazing story Cons: 3 hours long, but all needed to truely needed to tell the story
The Green Mile is one of those movies that you don't forget for a long time. It's an emotional, and funny movie told by a prison guard played by Tom Hanks. He's the head guard on "The Green Mile" which is what they call the death row in this...
Pros: Superb all round - storyline, acting, casting, cinematography. A classic with timeless appeal. Cons: It's rather long - visit the bathroom, and come equipped with a lot of tissues.
Blimey. 3 days after I finally see The Green Mile at the cinema and I'm still reeling from the experience. This movie is the most powerful I have ever seen, enveloping its audience and carrying them along on a wild ride through suspense, humour, awe,...
Pros: Great cast, great story, great direction Cons: Graphic and violent at times
Wow. This was my first impression of this excellent, well-written, and overall fascinating story. King and Darabont prove their teaming is a win-win situation. Performances by novice actor, Michael Clarke Duncan, is exceptional and, as always, Tom...
Pros: Looks like a novel, creates a world that is both mysteriously spiritual and graphically real Cons: Longer than the average movie. Not suitable for children. Graphic execution scene.
For reasons that are probably subject to opinion, the 1990’s turned out to be, among other things, the golden age for pictures set in American prisons. Putting aside Cool Hand Luke, the mesmerizing but somewhat overpraised 1967 film, as the only...
