The Green Mile Reviews and Ratings



  • November 26, 2009
    This is one of those movies that makes you cry like a colicky baby or an aged alcoholic who is seeing the pink elephants.
    It also, however, leaves you with a sense of hope, because while the world is an utterly shitty place filled with a lot of people who do some pretty grotesqu...( read more)ely shitty things, once in a while someone comes along who is so unbelievably beautiful and good that he takes away all the badness of those others, and you realise that the world really is this stupendously awesome gift, filled with freakin' miracles of people, and then you know everything is going to be ok...until 2012 that is :(
    Awesomely awesome Stephen King premise (like we could expect anything less? ;) and great acting (I even concede that Tom Hanks was GREAT in this movie, but the show was stolen by Michael Clark Duncan, with a crazy sicko of a brilliant role played by that bottle of awesome sauce, Sam Rockwell, and the oke who played Eugene Toombs in one of my FAVOURITE X-files episodes of all time playing that wimpish bully Percy).
    All in all, a movie that is going to get the old lacrimal ducts functioning, but is also guaranteed to make you feel all warm and fuzzy and filled with faith in the human race :D

    The Green Mile isnt as green as it looks.The film has an excellent story and terrific acting,but there is one problem and it is its length.The film is 3 hours and about an hour of the movie focused entirely on a rat.The rat scenes could have easily been taken out to focus more o...( read more)n the story.On a lighter note character developement is the strongest element of the film.Throughout the film you begin to notice how Jon Coffey really is.Be advised that the ending will leave you crying a river.The film is very emotional and really makes you cry.

    Amazing film, not seen it in a while but I still know that it is amazing because of how amazing it is, if you see what I mean. Acting is, well, amazing, notably Tom Hanks and Michael Clarke Duncan as the gigantic but lovable, innocent prisoner John Coffey. A beautiful and touchin...( read more)g film that highlights some very important issues with the prejudical society and the justice system of the 1930's, but still partially echoes today. It also has some extremely odd parts to it concerning John Coffey which I don't want to detail as it will most surely spoil the film. Find it, watch it and enjoy. It's amazing.

    I watched this movie when I was a child.

    John Coffee was wonderful, but poor.

    Green Mile's inspiring, but completly different to The Shawshank Redemption
  • November 9, 2009
    Tom Hanks, Michael Clarke Duncan, David Morse

    The story about the lives of guards on death row leading up to the execution of a wrongly accused man who has the power of faith healing.

    This has to be my favorite ...( read more)Tom Hanks movie. One of the best movies brought to life from a book. Every actor in this movie did their part justice. Some people may get restless setting through a 3hr movie, but you really don't notice the time whatching this film. It has your attention from start to finish.

    the green mile is based on one of the many books by stephen king but it is also one of the very few films made from his books which follow the plot of the book quite closely.
    but it did leave out of few key details like why was delacroix (michael jeter) in for excution for, wha...( read more)t happedned to the supporting charaters in the end.
    but overall i find it a brillent film in which i can watch over and over again.

    Tom Hanks at his very best and Michael Clarke Duncan showing that he isn't only on screen muscle and can act his heart out.
  • November 7, 2009

    one of the best films ever!
  • November 6, 2009
    It's a good film but I just didn't connect with this film, given that it has a great cast of actors to support the film. This film is decent enough to be watched by the best of fans but not for me.

    Michael Clarke Duncan's character made this movie what it is, which is the 2nd best adaptation of a Stephen King novel/short story. One of the very few movies that leave you feeling awe-struck. Fantastic cinema.
