Green Mile

Pros: The whole movie
Cons: Nary a one!

Michael Clarke Duncan is tremendous -- not only in his bulk but in the simple splendor of his acting. There are scores of others who perform admirably in this film, and all deserve mention. I have neither the time nor space to do so, but Michael...

Pros: Artfully done, realistic and very touching!
Cons: Heart-wrenching with no tissues included!

I read this book when it came out in segments, but the movie
moved me far more than the book was capable of doing, though
it too was well written!

Tom Hanks is the "star" of the show, but the one who makes it
is John...

Pros: Darabont crafts another excellent prison narrative
Cons: Might stretch some people's attention spans

Now I can finally forgive Tom Hanks for Forrest Gump, a movie which one cleverly on-target pundit called The Great Right Hope. With public opinion turning strongly against capital punishment, this is a great time to be an American, and Hanks, playing...

Pros: Fantastic, emotional story
Cons: -

This has got to be one of the best movies I have seen in a long time...

The story begins with Paul Edgecombe, now an old man living in a nursing home, recounting a story from his younger days when he was a prison guard. This story...

Pros: economy and elegance of shooting, editing, and acting
Cons: flawed logic in the screenplay

Much as The Shawshank Redemption was elegantly shot and edited, making a two hour and twenty two minute film feel not at all too long, Frank Darabont’s The Green Mile sometimes almost reaches that same plateau of expert filmmaking. Passages of The Green...

Pros: Unique- excellent film-never bored or distracted
Cons: Long running time- but worth every minute

It is rare and far between that a movie envelopes such a vast array of emotions that you can audibly hear a full theater laughing, sighing and crying with no other sounds at all in between. The entire audience seemed to be captivated.

...

Pros: Strong acting performances all around
Cons: none

A movie about inmates on death row can be depressing and grim, but "The Green Mile," directed by Frank Darabont, tackles this subject in a manner that elicits empathy for both the prisoners and the guards, both of whom are...

Pros: top-notch acting from all actors, gripping story, the most faithful adaptation of a King novel to date
Cons: it's length could scare some people away

Judging by the sheer number of Epinions on this film, I'm guessing that whatever I have to say isn't going to make you any more apt to see it if you're not so inclined. I almost didn't even bother, but this film touched my heart. I will, with a...

Pros: great acting, story, filmaking
Cons: none

I have always thought that some of Stephen King’s best writing can be found in his shorter works. The ones that stick with me tend to be the ones that are not necessarily about horror, and these are the ones that I feel translate best into movies. I...

Pros: one funny moment
Cons: the length, the pace, the morbid seriousness

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to write a review in about ten days. You see, I've been watching the Green Mile.

A quick note to film-goers everywhere - because a movie has Tom Hanks in it, and because it's really, really long and really,...

Pros: Great acting, Heart-wrenching Story, Keeps your attention
Cons: a little long, some profanity, graphic death scenes.

A few months ago I read a well written review on THE GREEN MILE, and left a comment that the writer had convinced me I did not want to see this movie. (I really don't remember who wrote the review, but it was quite well done.)Then I promptly forgot about...

Pros: Emotional feeling, excellent story, great acting. And scares you, too!
Cons: Brings a tear to your eye, and scares you, too!

The Green Mile has to be the best film I have ever seen. There is loads of reasons why. The film is based around the day when 'capital punishment' was legal, and is based around a prison come death row, named The Green Mile.

The way the film...

Pros: Great performances by the villians
Cons: Much longer than it needed to be

It’s a Tom Hanks film and it’s long (over 3 hours). Therefore we’re supposed to love it aren’t we?

They call the walk to the electric chair “The Last Mile”. Since the floor of the death row corridor is lime green, they call this section of...

Pros: As the title says, great adaptation from book to movie, the cast, the humanity
Cons: The end credits did not list which actor played which character, might be a boring movie if you just read the book

The Green Mile is one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. I read the book about five years ago. I was one of the suckers that had bought The Green Mile in its six miniature books, anxiously awaiting each new installment after I...

Pros: Thought provoking, entertaining.
Cons: Some very graphic scenes could be upsetting to some people.

Seeing "The Green Mile" just once was not enough for me. In fact, seeing it twice wasn't enough!

Yes, I've seen this movie, in the theaters, three times! Obviously I loved this movie! I kept dragging people back to the theater with...
