Green Mile

Pros: Good adaptation of a popular King novel. Good cast.
Cons: Those execution scenes are hard to watch.

If it seems to some readers that I'm on a Frank Darabont "kick" of sorts lately, that's because I've acquired all of the writer-director's adaptations of Stephen King works over the past few weeks.The first one that I bought was 2007's ...

Pros: Excellent drama, attacks racism at its heart, a hard look at the death sentence
Cons: Not one single thing!

Stephen King did it once again! The Green Mile, which was written by King in 1996, is truly a masterpiece work. First shown in late 1999, The Green Mile is a three-plus hour drama that was directed by Frank Darabont. This is a movie that will...

Pros: Excellent acting, music, camera angles, Hanks peeing, and Michael Clarke Duncan
Cons: A few "miles" too long, "black and white" depiction of characters, depressing

For at least two years, the only thing I knew about The Green Mile was that one of the chapters was called "The Bad Death Of Edward Delacroix". And being in the midst of a "death phase" myself, I always wanted to read it, but never did. So a ...

Pros: Duncan, Hanks, Direction, Cinematography, Script
Cons: None. Well, OK, the special effects are unnecessary as the story is compelling without them.

The Green Mile (1999)

Paul Edgecomb (Tom Hanks) is the chief guard in Louisiana State Prison’s death row. Part of his job is to supervise the executions of the prisoners waiting to walk "the last mile", in this case called the...

Pros: powerful message, brilliant acting, endearing characters
Cons: a few very difficult scenes to watch, lots of profanity

One movie that has intrigued me since I first heard of it is The Green Mile. A couple years ago, my aunt gave me a copy of it, but we never got around to watching it because of its length and its probably gruesome (because of the author) and...

Pros: Powerful story, beautiful cinematography, acting
Cons: Some scenes are hard to watch, very graphic

The film starts with an elderly man in a nursing home, and you get the impression that he is a nice guy and a good guy, but no milquetoast. Then, a movie comes on, in the community room, and he starts crying, as Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers dance ...

Pros: tight cast, wonderful performances, good story
Cons: none for me

I must admit of all the movies I’ve seen over the years, The Green Mile ranks way near the top. Not only was it a wonderful story but the portrayal by all actors involved gave it a special sense. It is one of the few Stephen King books that ...

Pros: The actors, script, direction and cinematogrophy.
Cons: OK, it is a BIT long.

Once again, Frank Darabont converts a great Stephen King work into an excellent movie. While it covers the same basic themes of The Shawshank Redemption, the two really have nothing in common. Except for the intelligent writing, powerful performances and...

Pros: Interesting throughout the entire film
Cons: Maybe the length but you won't notice as you watch it.

The Green Mile is directed by Frank Darabont. I'ts based on the Stephen King novel of the same name. Running time is 188 minutes.

We've had the set of 6 books in the house for years. We collected them one a month as they came out....

Pros: grabs you and doesn't let go, excellent cast, incredible story
Cons: not for children or the faint hearted

Excuse me while I dry my tears, I have just finished watching the Green Mile. I was totally unprepared for this movie. I, unlike most other people, had not seen previews, had not read any reviews about this movie, and to be honest I had no clue even...

Pros: Beautiful chemistry between Edgecomb and Coffey, intriguing plot twists, excellent acting and first rate direction.
Cons: Language, language, language, extreme-violence, disturbing visuals, and a worthy depiction of true evil (Percy Wetmore).

The Green Mile Runtime: 188 minutes Released: 1999 Written by: Stephen King (novel), Frank Darabont (screenplay) Directed by: Frank Darabont ----- Overview ----- For some reason, I neglected ...

Pros: Wonderful Cast, great acting, compelling story
Cons: some scenes are very graphic

My husband and I rented this movie last week. At first I thought it was just another prison movie. Boy, was I wrong! The Green Mile has you hooked right from the beginning. This movie I rank right with Shawshank Redemption as one of the best...

Pros: keeps you laughing
Cons: sad to see

I rented this movie at Blockbuster not knowing one bit of what it was about except for I had heard it was a great and powerful movie.

Let me just start by saying this movie was very suspenseful, full of humor, shocking attitudes that you...

Pros: Emotionally fulfilling, well written and executed, Duncan's a cutie
Cons: Could have been shorted

I was a bit hesitant to rent The Green Mile. Although I am a fan of Stephen King's works, I didn't think I could sit through a movie that was over three hours. But, having rented just about everything at Blockbuster, I decided to give it...

Pros: Thought-Provoking, Excellent acting,
Cons: Graphic scenes

Because I hate to know the entire plot of a movie before I've seen it, I will not give details of this movie in my review. I purposely didn't read any reviews before I saw it for that some reason. All I wanted to know is, 'Is this movie REALLY good?...
