Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

And that Dale scene was horrific and did John really had to die? All the guys were crying as they said their last goodbyes and so was I!

Frank Darabond is one of those filmmaker's who isn't exactly known all that much, even by people who tend to notice the behind the camera happenings but one look at his filmography and you see that he is special: Shawshank Redemption, The Mist and of course The Green Mile are all not just great but genre defining movies. Green Mile is helped immensely by a great performance by Michael Clarke Duncan and ably supported by Tom Hanks and Sam Rockwell in one of his earliest roles. This crime drama is more heart than suspense or thrills but it is a great, unmissable film nonetheless.

All of the performances and technical aspects on display here are excellent. The only major problem with this film is the pacing, especially in the beginning. This movie has many amazing scenes, but it also has scenes that go all kinds of nowhere. The scenes with Paul in the nursing home feel so out of place. The only purpose to them is to reincorporate the film being shown later on. There are a number other scenes like that, where nothing of much substance takes place. The only reason I can think of to justify is this: All of the great scenes were shot, but someone down the line thought the film needed more to stretch it out to three hours for god knows what reason, and they just thought of the most generic and unimportant things to address in this emotionally moving story. In conclusion, it's a really good three hour movie that could've been a great 2 or 2.5 hour movie.

Oh my god!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! why do you people give these films such high ratings!!!!!!!!! i did not like that and i do not want to watch it ever again
