Overrated

Rating: 6/10 (9 January 2000)

Why are some people making such a big deal out of this film? It was decent but nothing great! The acting was borderline(with the exception of Micheal Duncan) even Tom Hanks was not at his best. There were moments of brilliance that could of had so much done with them, but the film went for cheap laughs(Wild Bill), stupid subplots(Tom Hanks bladder infection! come on.....) and that stupid prison mouse! It was pointless! Maybe it's because I went in with such great expectations, but can you blame me? The director of the much better Shawshank Redemption and Tom Hanks! I thought an instant classic. That title did not go to The Green Mile. It goes to American Beauty.
