Very good, but overrated...

Rating: 8/10 (7 June 2000)

Even tough The Green Mile is a very good movie, I don't think it should be that high in the IMDb top 250 movies, maybe it shouldn't even be in it. True, some movies are even more unworthy of a place on the top 250(Unforgiven and Deliverance, for example) in my humble opinion, but still, even tough The Green Mile, I repeat it, is a very good movie, it should not be considered one of the best movies ever. That said, let's go to my review. The Green Mile is a very nice movie, with good acting, very satisfying character development and a solid story. It is a really good movie, no doubt about that, but it isn't very original. Looks a lot like Shawshank Redemption. But it is not as good. It is long but you don't feel the hours pass by. No problem there. The biggest problem with this movie is that while it as not many problems, it is not an exceptional movie. Just a very good one. And I think that the 48th place on the top 250 is a place for exceptional movies, not very good ones... Anyway, this movie is still very good and I highly recommend it.
