Pros: Very Powerful and Encouraging Story / Excellent Acting / Many Memorable Characters
Cons: May be too long for some people / A little too sentimental at times
The last time director Frank Darabont adapted a novel by Stephen King onto the big screen produced one of the greatest films of all time, "Shawshank Redemption." With this succeeding prison story, the pair have once again produced brilliancy....

Pros: Great Movie
Cons: Most likely, you will cry
Where do I start?
The Green Mile is an entertaining, intelligently written and had a great cast.
I am not a big movie buff but my mother had read the book and insisted that I see the movie (at least). So one rainy Sunday night we all...

Pros: Great Story, Lots of Ups, Downs, Emotions
Cons: Too graphic on the execution of Delequaw
The Green Mile is yet another masterpiece by Steven King and the way he wrote and released it was special. I not really a Steven King fan but this story is different from his typical horror novels. It has a similar feel and style to The Shawshank...

Pros: Shows that not all people die for the right reasons.
Cons: They actually show men dying in the electric chair.
I must say this movie is the best one I have seen in a long time. Tom Hanks (Paul Edgecomb) played an outstanding role and a did a job well done.
I was very moved deeply by this film. First I just could not keep my eyes off the...

Pros: Kept me glued to the screen
Cons: None to me
Tom Hanks had another wonderful performance in this movie. I think that the actors were well selected. I was not worried about it being a 3 hour movie because I have seen many of the long movies that have been put out. I just hoped that it wouldn't feel...

Pros: Sad, funny, great acting, long and detailed
Cons: Graphic
Wow. I had never seen or read anything by Stephen King before. I didn't I know the man had emotion, I thought he was 100% horror. This guy has proven that he is someone whose fiction I can enjoy highly, because I need a little depth when I see a...

Pros: great acting, amazing sets
Cons: gets a little graphic and the religious allegory is really obvious
I HATE Stephen King. Let's just get that out in the open. I can't stand his books and the one other movie I saw based on one of his books was dumb. So, when I learned that "Green Mile" was based on a Stephen King book I cringed, but for some reason...

Pros: Great movie, great actors, and a great message
Cons: Ending - keep Kleenex handy!
How true that title is! This movie, albeit set in the30's, is basically a case of people judging someone by their cover, if you will.
This is a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Back in the 30's, as we still see today, a...

Pros: Tom Hanks, MR. jingles
Cons: They expect you to pay.
The Green Mile was great. In my humble opinion it was one of the best of the year. Tom Hanks played his role absolutely great. The movie was nicely complemented by the mouse,Mr. Jingles. This mouse was a way they
included some comedy relief to the...

Cons: none
The long awaited, Frank Darabont directed adaption of The Green Mile has finally arrived in theatres. Based on the best selling serialization of novels by Stephen King, The Green Mile tells the story of life on Death Row in the South, circa 1935,...

by JackFoley , Jun 27 '00
Pros: Hanks, supporting cast, story, emotional power
Cons: none
I will admit to being somewhat jaded against Tom Hanks in the past. He is always good. I guess I started getting a little weary of him always being nominated or winning the Oscar. So from the first time I heard that he was taking the role of a Death Row...

Pros: good acting
Cons: incoherent and competing story lines
I had high hopes for this drama: oscar-nominated cast, miracles, and an uplifting story of hope and redemption. Instead I got a mouse, a urinary tract infection, and a story with an identity crisis.
"The Green Mile" was billed as a...

by MsHooterville - Top 200, Jun 19 '00
Pros: Outstanding acting, direction, musical score
Cons: Long, violent death row scenes
Again, the team of novelist Stephen King, director Frank Darabont and Thomas Newman, who did the musical score, give audiences a very worthwhile prison film in "The Green Mile." Their first film together, "The Shawshank Redemption," is one of my...

Pros: simply one of the best movies I've seen
Cons: ending does not fit
Update: It's been over six months since I have seen this film and I have now watched it again on video. The second time, I found something I missed the first time. I found myself drawing strong parallels between John Coffey and the life of Jesus...

Pros: well-acted, good story
Cons: none
Tom Hanks is a wonderful actor and he was his usual wonderful self in The Green Mile, a story about death row in a prison in Louisiana in the 1930's. Hanks plays the role of Paul Edgecomb, a guard who has a conscience and who treats the inmates like...
