The Green Mile

Rating:
Summary: Very very uplifting and Powerful
Review: When I first saw "The Green Mile" in the theaters, I was told that people actually had walked out of it. Despite the odds of those people walking during the middle of it, I went and saw it. What I didn't expect was that the "Green Mile" would be powerful and uplifting. What I saw was an awesome, inspiring, uplifting, funny, and sad movie. Yes "The Green Mile" is 3 hours long(I actually wish it was 4 hours) but you'll love it.

Summary: very moving and touching
Review: John Coffey sits on death row. But prison guard comes to doubt Coffey's guilt, especially when he witnesses the seemingly unearthly healing powers Coffey possesses. This movie is based on Stephen King's best seller.

Summary: The Green Mile
Review: For all those people that don't like movies adapted from books because too much is changed from book to script, I say see The Green Mile. I had seen the movie Contact after I read the book and there were alot of major changes. I was expecting some of the same from The Green Mile. I was wrong. Sure, there were some small things left out and changed due to time constants, but overall, I was surprised at just how true to the book it stayed. Every performance in the movie was an excellent one. Especially by Michael Clark Duncan. The movie was also the best of the year. Tom Hanks played Paul Edgecomb masterfully and he and Duncan gave the movie heart. Although over three hours long, you don't feel the time at all. You will become so engrossed in the story it will seem like only a couple minutes. This movie is a must have

Summary: "The Green Mile" is that long on heart.
Review: Tom Hanks stars in the prison-drama "The Green Mile". Director Frank Darabont ("The Shawshank Redemption") crafts this story around Michael Clarke Duncan's star-making proformance as a man wrongly convicted of rape and murder. But this gaint of a man doesn't understand the charges brought against him. When a bond is made between prisonmate and guard, it is a touching display because you see the good in human nature. "The Green Mile" is a heart warming and heart wrenching story, see it with someone you love.

Summary: Great Prison Film
Review: This is a great film about human redemption that you will watch with tears in your eyes and joy in your heart as the story undolds. This story, of a group of guards and prisoners on death row in Lousianana in 1935, is masterfully told and true-to-life. Tom Hanks and Michael Clarke Duncan are superb as a guard and giant prisoner, who has special healing powers. This is a great film but not a film for the squemish as some of the scenes are violent and fairly intense. This film deserved all the awards that it recently won and is destined to become a "classic."

Summary: Excellent
Review: The Green Mile is overall an excellent movie. I can't believe that other reviewers gave it a bad rating. Yeah, it is long, but it is good. The Green Mile will make you want to laugh and cry. The book is very good too. Do yourself a favor, watch this movie. Also recommended is The Shawshank Redemption

Summary: A Masterpiece
Review: The King of Horror once again proves himself by making another psychological drama along the lines of The Shawshank Redemption! This is a great movie that has something for everyone, either you're on the verge of tears or on the edge of your seat! I would recomend this movie to anyone, especially if you like Stephen King, and The Shawshank Redemption.

Summary: I'VE DIED AND GONE TO HEAVEN!
Review: My God, how could ANYONE not like The Green Mile? This movie has a message for all stratas of people,religious/non-religious,men/women. Hanks shines, but the most oustanding and most touching performance is by Michael Clarke Duncan--John Coffey, the "gentle giant" Mr. Jingles was added mainly for comic relief(viewers can't be expected to look at depressing scenes for 3 hours) The movie may be a bit depressing, rather disturbing for the soft and faint of heart, but it is so moving and enlightening, that you will undoubtedly become a better person after seeing it.I don't know how anyone can say that Shawshank was a bit better than this movie. Granted,TSR was a very impressive and touching movie, but The Green Mile leaves it in the dirt! Even after the movie ended in the theater and the credits started coming up, the audience simply couldn't move! I was rooted to my seat, and tears were flowing uncontrollably down my cheeks. So, everyone watch this movie, and when it comes out, for GODS SAKE, BUY IT! Bravo, Darabont and King!

Summary: Hanks takes you on a mile that seems to never end....
Review: "The Green Mile" has to be one of the worst movies I saw last year. One word comes to mind...BORING! Tom Hanks is so overrated and this movie just proves it to be so. Hardly any Oscar attention is one clue...that even the stuffy Academy couldn't make it through this long mile of mess. STAY WAY AT ALL COSTS!

Summary: WONDERFUL movie!
Review: "The Green Mile" is not for the faint-hearted (it's rated R for a reason) or for those of the quick-fix mode. It's a story, lovingly drawn out and beautifully told; one of the main enjoyments of a story is in the telling, and this movie is one of the very few in recent years that enjoys and allows me to enjoy the telling of its story rather than racing through to the end. I find I much prefer the drawing out of the story to the race to the finish line that I get from most movies that are pushing to fit themselves into a two-hour prime-time slot. "The Green Mile" may not make it onto prime-time; it certainly won't make it there unedited. That is prime-time's loss, not "The Green Mile"'s fault.

Well-cast, well-photographed, well-told. Don't allow your children to watch it with you; it is NOT a children's story.
