Green Mile

Pros: There are good people portrayed in this movie.
Cons: There are some real bastards portrayed in this movie too.

Everyone has a story to tell. The stories the people on the Green Mile had to tell were the ones I wanted to hear. What was so special about the mouse that befriended a death row inmate? What did we need to know about the man in charge of Cell Block...

Pros: Acting
Cons: Overlength, The Ending

After almost a year of hearing about this film nonstop, I must say that I'm somewhat glad that it is over with. I'm sure that I probably will be hearing about it some more come Oscar time, but for now I think I can take a breather and relax over the...

Pros: great acting, characters, stayed pretty true to the book
Cons: length

Sometimes when you see a Stephen King movie, the movie does not live up to the book. Usually there are so many inaccuracies or omissions that it bothers me too much to see the movie. This time, I was pleasantly surprised. The Green Mile was well worth...

Pros: Excellent story and an awesome cast
Cons: A little bit too long

I am a Stephen King fan from way back. Some think he's a hack, but I disagree! He has broken out of his horror mold and found a wonderful story to tell with "The Green Mile", and this movie tries hard not to stray from the book.

...

Pros: Excellent cast, good story, GREAT movie
Cons: I can't say or it would give away the ending

Personally, I don't think Tom Hanks makes a bad film. I should have remembered that months ago when family and friends kept telling me I MUST see this film. I didn't and very nearly didn't even rent it. Now it is one I will have to own!

I...

Pros: Everything.
Cons: Can't think of one.

The Green Mile, adapted from the book by Stephen King, is an unbelievable epic story. It's almost exactly the same as the book, but better. It will bring out all your emotions at some point in the movie.

The year is the early 1930's. The...

Pros: Touching , uplifting storyline, great special effects, Tom Hanks (need I say more?)
Cons: A couple of intense, graphic scenes.

From the director of "The Shawshank Redemption (a favorite of mine), comes another powerful must-see movie: The Green Mile. Sure to be a favorite of many viewers, The Green Mile (written by Stephen King) tells a tale about a seemingly unlikely...

Pros: Well acted and directed, deep and insightful
Cons: Bit long if you don't like it

Frank Darabont has now directed two Stephen King-based prison dramas (how many directors can say that?) and here improves on the good yet fairly mainstream Shawshank Redemption. The Green Mile is an intelligent, thoughtful movie on death,...

Pros: good acting, well made, realistic, points the flaws in society...
Cons: a bit lengthy...

Exactly ten minutes ago I was at the movie theater viewing this film. I haven't seen a movie in a while and this one hit me hard. The plot is so emotionally colored that it will have an affect on just about anyone.

The main plot is: An old man...

Pros: Ever wondered what Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) was but were afraid to ask?
Cons: That vulgar language, and sexual content is necessary for a modern day classic.

What happens when you mix a prophet of God, a Christian, a man with a Napoleonic Complex, a man who sees the world in terms of the law as Black and white, and a purely humanistic animal together in Prison Block where the only way out is death.
The...

Pros: EPIC TALE
Cons: length

Tom Hanks shows once again why he is arguably the most celebrated actor of the last decade. Hanks versatility shines bright in this amazingly inspiring and thought-provoking drama about a supernatural force that takes over human life.

Hanks...

Pros: Powerful story & great acting
Cons: Graphic detail of electrocutions

This is not a film about capital punishment, but it does graphically depict electrocutions. It's not a flick about miracles, but it contains those too. This Stephen King story is an allegorical view of man's inhumanity to man on a basic primeval level...

Pros: Brilliant Acting, Gripping Story
Cons: Language, Violence, Sex Scenes

Experience humorous moments, humane gestures, Hitchcock-like suspense, and honest tears. Come to The Green Mile.

Set in a Louisiana death row prison block in 1935, this is a gripping story of an unlikely relationship that forms between a...

Pros: Very suspenseful! An edge-of-your-seat thriller!
Cons: Not any

Myself and my husband went to see this movie because my husband is a corporal at a local prison facility, and this movie was directed in a Tennessee State Prison we were told.

This movie was wonderful, and really will make you think about God...

Pros: moving performances, extraordinary story
Cons: made me think too much

The Green Mile is not a movie for those looking to fill a couple hours in meaningless, mindless entertainment. The fireworks and special effects here are scene enhancing, and not the main attraction.

While I have not read the novel by King,...
