Good but (COME ONE PEOPLE) not great

Rating: 6/10 (22 December 1999)

Why do IMDB voters shoot every new movie up the all time great list? According to you people 6 of the top 30 movies of all time have been released in the last year including: American Beauty, Being John Malkovich, Toy Story 2, The Sixth Sense, Fight Club, and now the Green Mile.
Sigh.
The movie was reasonably entertaining, especially the acting. Hanks and Morse were all likable. But it was too long, Mr. Jingles too cute, the exposition too Spielberg (think Saving Schindler's etc.) Isn't anyone besides me tired of over long movies capping the story with a narrator on both sides to tell you what it means, just in case you are too stupid (as they clearly think you are) to figure it out from the film itself?
The saving grace is I know that as soon as some other "B" film is released next month (Stuart Little, anyone?) you people will shoot it up into the top ten and forget this flavor of the month.
