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....

Pros: everything! the story, characters, you name it! Cons: some language and scenes that make it R.
I saw this movie for the same reason that anyone would when they see a preview and it looks interesting. Tom Hanks usually plays in good movies so i decided to give it a shot. I'm so very glad that i did! I cried so much on this movie! Tom Hanks...

Pros: It takes you through every emotion. Cons: It's a little long,so make sure you have the time. It also doesn't give you the feeling like it's over at the end.
To be very honest I did not want to see this movie. I don't usually like Stephen King movies, so I was pretty hesitant. Needless to say, I was captivated after the first scene, and even went to see it again the next night. I cried both times. ...

Pros: Superb acting on the part of all, including the minor roles of the prisoners. Cons: Reaffirmation of the terrible injustices continued 'til today from the "justice" system.
I'd heard so much about this "Oscar worthy" drama entitled, "The Green Mile." Immediately, I thought, well if it includes Tom Hanks, perhaps it's worth the cost of at least a *matinee* ticket! But, in the meanwhile, a number of...

Pros: Inspireing Cons: 3 hours long
From beginning to end, the Green Mile was one of the most inspiring movies I have ever seen. The common blurb makes the movie sound rather common: Tom Hanks stars as a Prison guard who must deal with having to execute a man he believes is innocent. I...

Pros: Its a great movie, keeps you occupied. Cons: None, other than John Coffey could have been set free!
So who do we thank most, King, the books writer or Darabont, the screenplay/director?
This is Darabont's second adaptation of a Stephen King prison tale (the first being 1994's flawless THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION). It is very hopeful, and has a...

Pros: Excellent plot, great characters, Michael Clark duncan Cons: Kind of Long
What can I say about the Green Mile? Well, I can start by saying, I do agree with the masses, it is very long, but the 3+ hours spent watching the Green Mile are all pleasurable. I loved the movie. There were a few things I didn't like, of course I have...

Pros: Very Well Acted, Directed, Written Cons: none
I wanted to see this movie ever since I read the last page of the book. I still thought that I would be disappointed somewhat, seeing how the movies really never do a book justice. I am happy to say, in this case, I was wrong.
Tom Hanks...

Pros: Wonderful acting jobs, seeing your characters come to life. Cons: Mixed up plot. too long to wait for the climax , it should come somewhere in the middle not at the very end.
READ THE BOOK!!!
How can I put this and not seem too opinionated?
READ THE BOOK!!!
This movie is too confusing to watch if you have never read the book. I read the book first. I usually do that and I feel that in many cases...

Pros: Brings out a FANTASTIC mix of emotions Cons: None That I Can Think Of
We went to see this movie late one evening - didnt have the kids and wanted to see a movie. This is probably one of the best, if not THE best movie I have ever seen. There movie provided a great mix of emotions, from very funny parts, to parts that...

Pros: Written by Stephen King and stars Tom Hanks Cons: Kind of long, but worth every minute of it.
Miracles happen in unexpected places, even in the death-row cellblock at Cold Mountain Penitentiary. There John Coffey, a gentle giant of a prisoner with supernatural powers, brings a sense of spirit and humanity to his guards and fellow inmates.

Pros: Great book, great movie. Cons: 3 hrs long.
We live in a world so full of cynicism that the idea of a miracle might make a lot of people laugh. We live in a world so full of violence and hate, that many people find a man of peace to be an absurdity. The Green Mile lives in a world where those...

Pros: Apt interpretation of the novel, good acting, wonderful story Cons: A bit long, not enough lines for Michael Duncan
For those who know me it is no secret that I am a loyal fan of Stephen King. However, it's also common knowledge that I generally detest any of the movies that have been made from his books. Why? Because apart from Misery, Shawshank Redemption and...

Pros: feature packed dvd, incredible acting Cons: very long movie. could have been 45 minutes shorter
If you own a DVD player, and are one of the few people out there who have yet to see the movie, "The Green Mile", please do yourself a favor, and do not rent this movie. Save yourself the five dollar rental charge, and buy it right off the bat....

Pros: Great cast, intense, emotional Cons: None
This movie was the best I have seen for a long time! Many people were crying, and emotions were sure running high! When a movie takes you away from the theatre and makes you feel the emotions and the intensity of the film, then you know it is a great...
