Summary: Deep Emotions.
Review: Some complain that this movie is too long and it drags on, I disagree. A wonderful film like this needs to be lenghty to set the mood. It is 3 hours of pure heaven. In this time we are introduced to very interesting characters and a VERY VERY well written supernatural fable. The themes hold something for everybody. Weather you are religious or not, you will see into the deep moral ideas that the film has to offer. Even though it is a fable, it has DEEP and realistic emotions that everyone can relate to. The story tackles everything, from overcomming insecurity to true friendship. Plus it has a wonderful little mouse, that provides some comic relief, which fits.An emotional roller coaster. Most Highly Reccomended.

Summary: Almost 5 stars but a little too long...
Review: This was a movie that spoke to me at many levels, from the spiritual to the moral and ethical consciousness. It has been said that if you hate a character in a movie, then the actor did a good job with it. This is so true of Percy Wetmore (Doug Hutchison). I was first introduced to Doug when he played Eugene Tooms in The X-Files in 1993, one of the most creepiest characters in X-Files history. And his creepiness continues as Percy, a banal, mean spirited prison guard "bully" who gives new meaning to the term "power hungry". You WILL hate him I assure you. Tom Hanks was his usual goody-two-shoes but credit must go to Michael Clark Duncan, the gentle giant with super-healing powers who gives every person he meets their just desserts. This is a keeper!

Summary: A touching drama about one life enlightening another
Review: I had heard that The Green Mile was a good movie, so I decided to go to the theater one night to see it. Even though the movie was long (over 3 hours) I was kept captivated and enjoyed it the whole time. The story centers on the connection between a prison guard played by Tom Hanks and a death row inmate played by Michael Clarke Duncan. They develop a unique relationship based upon a special 'talent' of Duncan. In a way, the story introduces the supernatural and religion from an interesting perspective that strengthens the connection between the characters and the viewer. It would take a while to describe all of the significant events in the movie, but they all contribute to character development of not only the two main characters, but the others as well (i.e. the other prison guards and inmates). The movie is based on the Stephen King serial novel of the same name, which I have not yet had the opportunity to read. It is an interesting tale that will make you think about what counts in life, how you treat others, and the distinction between good and evil. The Green Mile is one of the few movies (another is Schindler's List) which makes good use of 3 hours and doesn't include any extended dull periods. It is touching to the heart and even though I didn't cry, I felt moved by the story. I recommend this to you if you like good stories with interesting characters.

Summary: You wouldn't know it was Stephen King!
Review: If you do not like Stephen King's usual terror...see this film. It has strong emotion and it will make you believe in miracles. Clarke's performance of Coffey is excellent and very contrasting in content (but not ability) to his performance in Armageddon . Hanks, as usual, shines--Add a strong cast, some wonderful directing and on the mark adaptation of the novel, and you get a five star film. If you like the movie, read the novel...it, too, will touch you in ways you never thought King could.

Summary: Absolutely Fabulous!
Review: Having read Stephen King's fantastic serial novel, I had high hopes for the movie. I knew right from the start that it was going to do justice to the book. The images I had in my mind from reading the book were very pleasantly realized when I watched this fantastic movie. It's three hours long, but I would not have liked the movie otherwise. It was an almost exact telling of the novel. There were a couple of extremely minor inclusions and exclusions from the book, but on the whole it was exactly the same. This is one movie I will for sure own on DVD. You simply have to watch this movie. It will tear your heart out.

Summary: Modern Passion Play
Review: A wonderful contemporary rendition of the life, sufferings, passion and eventual death of Jesus Christ...a Jesus who heals, a Jesus who is com-passionate, a Jesus who loves, a Jesus who wants life and good for all... see it for yourself...it's more of a religious passion mystery play than you think! Highly theological, simply and beautifully portrayed.

Summary: Awesome!
Review: This is one of the few movies that outshines its literary counterpart. Tom Hanks,Michael Duncan Clarke, Barry Pepper and David Morse are excellent. It's also one of the few movies even the most macho guys may shed a tear at!

Summary: The Miracle Mile
Review: By the time The Green Mile concluded, my only thought was, "Wow!" The movie, based on a series of novelettes by Stephen King, is as flawless an adaptation of a printed work as I've ever seen. It has it all: great cast, great story, and some truly riveting moments. It also clocks in at a whopping three hours. Someone once said, if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. Well, that's the way that I feel about the movies. Sure, sometimes they have subtitles, sometimes they are a bit avant garde, and sometimes they take three hours. But if you love movies, really love them, you won't mind the occasional inconvenience to get to something good. Director Frank Darabont (who also directed another Stephen King prison film, The Shawshank Redemption) doesn't shy away from the horrors of death row. There is violence between the inmates or the guards, but the most stunning horror is saved for the scenes in the electric chair. Darabont is equally adept at handling the beauty of the film, like the show stealing mouse that befriends one of the inmates. Tom Hanks is absolutely brilliant in this film, but that shouldn't be a surprise for anyone. His days of making B-movies are over. Sure, not everything he touches is gold, but he has a knack for picking some memorable roles that continue to get him recognized. The one to watch, however, is Michael Clarke Duncan. His portrayal of Coffey is so well done it took my breath away. The man is physically intimidating with his huge frame and bulging muscles. When he speaks, however, there is a calm, clear voice, and you hang on every word. It is in his quietness that Duncan makes Coffey a hero. The Green Mile may not be for everybody. First off, it's a prison picture, which is sure to scare off some. Second, it's based on a Stephen King work, which may scare off a lot more. (And with good reason. King has a mediocre track record in the film genre.) But even more so, some people will refuse to sit through what is -- admittedly -- a slow-paced, three hour movie. Does that mean the movie is bad? No, not hardly. The Green Mile is one of the best movies I've seen this year. It does an excellent job of adapting King's original work. Hanks and the entire ensemble cast bring the characters to life. Seeing this film gave me hope. Hollywood is still capable of making exceptional adaptations given the right script and the proper director.
