It's a good movie to watch on a rainy afternoon.....The movie is about three and a half hours long, but well worth it.....With tears and heavy hearts they have to "kill" one of God's miracles.This is a very good story..... ... Full Review

It's not that this is a *bad* film, exactly.
It's amusing, but ridiculous, and at this point I was beginning to tune out.

In the film's favor, I must say the performances are uniformly excellent.

Extraordinarily powerful and overwhelmingly moving, The Green Mile tells the black and white story of humanity.
Sharing the passion of The Shawshank Redemption, one of the best prison films of all time, The Green Mile is a moving cinematic experience with haunting music, glowing production design and a richness of spirit that humbles.

With an engrossing story and superb acting, The Green Mile is a pleasant way to spend three hours, and to top it off its available with an A+ audio-visual presentation on DVD.
Included is the appropriately titled 'Walking the Mile', a ten-minute featurette which offers a few insights into the production, as well as excerpts from various interviews with the cast and crew, plus author of The Green Mile, Stephen King, who shares his delight with how well the movie has beend adapted.

"The Green Mile" defies credibility at nearly every turn....."The Green Mile" only mildly entertaining and in some ways a little frustrating....The film tries to justify his mysterious presence by saying....its watching enjoyable.... ... Full Review

I'd not heard of Doug Hutchison, and I didn't recognize Sam Rockwell when I first saw the flick, but both were very good as the film's main bad guys.
The Green Mile received a somewhat different reception.
As for myself, I rather liked the film.

It's a solid and well-crafted film that tells a compelling story....One thing always bothered me about the movie.....But even with its faults, I still liked The Green Mile .....As for myself, I rather liked the film.....Ignoring that issue, "Miracles" presents a very good documentary..... ...

But at home, you can pause the action without losing the narrative flow; after all, the book was originally published in six monthly installments.
Hanks' low-key turn is on par with his career-best work in Saving Private Ryan, and Duncan imbues a potentially stereotypical character -- the saintly, servile African American -- with a tangible human soul.

The Green Mile stars Academy Award winner Tom Hanks as Paul Edgecomb, the captain of the guard for Cell Block E, death row.
Like many of his movies, Hanks is once again the best reason to see the film.
