Another Excellent Example of Superb Movie Making!

Rating: Null/10 (10 December 1999)

My wife and I have just returned from seeing The Green Mile. Having read the critic's reviews, I am once again dismayed at what they seem to have missed! Contrary to what they've said, The Green Mile is extremely faithful to Stephen King's book, and I can't imagine tackling such an endeavor as this without the three-hour running time. I fear we have become so jaded that we simply can't enjoy fantasy anymore, and this is truly a sad commentary on the state of human beings! Tom Hanks is superb as Paul Edgecomb, and the supporting cast is flawless in its performances! If you have a touchy bladder, best stick with a smaller soda, but that being said, I am thrilled with what I've seen, and I wouldn't have The Green Mile any other way than what I was so honored to have seen! I feel Tom Hanks should be Oscar-timber for this year!
