The movie is 3 hours long!
It would have been better if shortened to under 2 hours.
Tom Hanks is the lead actor, but Michael Clarke Duncan is definitely the star of this movie.
I would be pretty surprised if southern prison guards would…

Although I have some issues with the idea of John Coffey's character in general (Spike Lee said it best, if you'd care to google), the performances were outstanding and the adaptation from the books was pretty perfect.

A Very well done movie based on death row prison gaurds in the great depression. It gets quite disturbing and violent in some scenes obviously due to the fact that the prisoners are on death row and can be quite graphic for many viewers,…

Very touching and sincere. The tragedy of John Coffey, a man who died for doing good to people - cannot but touch to the very soul. It’s scary not only that the innocent was executed, the fact that he couldn’t find his place in the world…
The Green Mile is an incredible movie, about Paul Edgecomb. Paul Edgecomb is played by Tom hanks, and he acts out a story about meeting a man named John Coffey, who has supposedly been charged with killing a pair of sisters. After meeting…

The greatest book to film adaptation of all time. PERIOD. I love this film so much, i cannot put it into words. The atmosphere, the acting, the writing, all hit their marks. Definitely should have won the Oscar for Best Picture.

I've seen this movie several times. Tom Hanks is one of my favourite actors and in this movie he excels as do all the actors. It is amazing how the snivelling Percy can evoke the intense feeling of dislike and you know it is just a…

This is a 1999 American fantasy-crime drama directed by Frank Darabont, based on the 1996 Stephen King novel of the same name.
The film tells the story of Paul's life as a death row corrections officer during the Great Depression in the…
I read this when it was in serial form and liked it. I had my own idea of what the lead man looked like and it wasn't Tom Hanks. The movie was excellent and helped me visualize stuff in the book that had me wondering about, but at first,…

This is a 3-hour long prison drama. Acting is good by all and, despite its length, it is a very engaging drama. I personally think this can be a better, a more humane film if we don't have to deal with the 'miracle' aspect of it.

I read this book many years ago when it was released in 6 parts. I don't remember if I finished it or not but I was certainly glad I saw the movie. It was very inspiring and touching. It really made you think. Highly recommended.

What a wonderful story, casting and performace lead by Tom Hanks. I liked David Morse, found Michael Clarke Duncan convincing and Hanks great.

Excellent movie. Apart from the slight departure into supernatural territory which I can ignore (since that is sort of what it is about), it is otherwise an excellent and gripping production.
