Pros: storyline Cons: violence, lengthy
For anyone who loved Titanic, or even thought it was worth watching, this movie will delight your vcr. I personally loved Titanic and was deeply moved by its storyline, however, when I rented Green Mile I realized what a truly wonderful movie was. I...

Pros: None Cons: None
The movie Green Mile is quite a eye opening for all of mankind. Of course Tom Hanks is a awesome actor anyway and he plays the part well. This is a movie that gets the job done, where evil versus the good and the good wins once again. There is some sad...

Pros: Tom Hanks; Cons: way too long; slow-moving
Being the parents of a young child, my husband and I don't get to go to the movies very often. So, imagine my disappoint when on the ONE occassion that we got to go to the movies in the past few months, the movie was a bit of a DUD! I love Tom Hanks, and...

Pros: Uplifting yet terribly sad - a whirlwind for the emotions. Cons: Somewhat long, somewhat dissatisfying ending.
This is powerful filmmaking.
The Green Mile, a story artfully and deliberately crafted by accomplished wordsmith Stephen King, centers around John Coffey - a truly enormous yet infinitely gentle and timid man sentenced to die for the murder...

Pros: well-acted, interesting plot Cons: unlikeable, under-developed characters
"The Green Mile" was a good film -- I'll grant that. Perhaps it was even a great film. After all, the acting was superb and the story line was quite interesting. For the duration of the movie, I was engaged, entertained, and at times, even...

Pros: None that I can think of. Oh wait, cinematography I guess. Cons: Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long.
Film adaptations of books written by Stephen King fall into two categories: good (Misery, The Shining, Carrie), or awful (Thinner, Maximum Overdrive, The Running Man). Given this fact, you've got a fifty percent chance of getting your money's worth or...

Pros: every character, and every moment of the story Cons: as always, King's novels aren't always completely presented
To be quite honest, I thought that I had outgrown Stephen King since I haven't read one of his books in about 13 years, but I have in fact enjoyed some of the latest films derived from his work. I wasn't really enthused about seeing this movie because...

Pros: Great cast , Great plot Cons: long
I really liked this movie. It was a typical Tom Hanks. As you all know he is a great actor , but that guy in the movie who's name in the movie was John Coffey.......I mean he was excellent. He did a great job of making you feel incredibly bad for...

Pros: A great movie to see again and again. Cons: If your easy to get upset, you might not want to watch.
I'm always for a good movie and "The Green Mile" was just that. My friends and I watched it last night. I seen previews of it on television and it looked like a pretty decent movie, my neighbors rented it, and I watched it with everyone....

Pros: powerful story, supporting performances Cons: long, drawn out telling
I consider myself to be a critic, or at least someone who sees movies, then communicates my opinions on them to those who will listen. It can sometimes be difficult to not let external sources influence my opinion of a movie. The advent of the Internet...

Pros: Excellent story/characters/actors Cons: long, but it does move fast!
You will love this movie. Very Few of Stephen Kings novels that have been turned into movies seem worthy of the book but this movie was right up there with (Rita Heyworth and) The Shawshank Redemption.
Not only is this movie filled with actors...

Pros: Excellent story, direction and acting. Cons: Seems a touch too hollywood in a spot or two.
How does the man do it? He must have the world's greatest agent to go from Bachelor Party and Splash to the current streak he's on. Gump, Apollo 13, Saving Private Ryan and his latest masterpiece The Green Mile.
In The Green Mile Tom Hanks...

Pros: Very emotional, good movie. Cons: 3 hours long but worth it
The Green Mile is one of the best movies I've seen in the last year. It is also one of the most emotional. Just about every emotion that it's possible to feel, you will. One moment you'll be laughing, then angry, then sad. There are parts that I'm sure...

Pros: GREAT MOVIE Cons: bad language and nudity
I went to see "The Green Mile" because I'm a Tom Hanks fan and have loved every movie he's ever made. This movie was based on a book that Stephen King wrote and to be honest...I just couldn't see Tom Hanks doing a movie based on a book that...

Pros: very entertaining,worth the money Cons: some might think this movie is long
The Green Mile was an extremely good movie. I went without knowing anything about this movie except Tom Hanks played a prison guard on death row.
The parts were well casted.Every actor was so good that I couldn't tell they were acting....
