This is a very, very good movie. It's definitely an emotional roller-coaster, but will leave you with a very warm feeling at the end. I can't really say anymore without giving away the story... Definitely not for kids 13 or under, as it is very sad and graphic at parts. The cruelty displayed in some scenes is nearly unbearable, especially for children. The plot would be very hard for a child to wrap his head around, and the execution scene, and the flashbacks of the rape/murder of two little girls would perhaps give him/her nightmares. There is one comical sex scene, however only the sounds are heard from outside of the window. This movies shows the best and worst in humanity, and should definitely be seen by everyone at some point in their life.

I can not say I saw Coffey's execution in full detail, as I got the edited version. The language was coarse at times, and the violence (or what I got of it) was strong and brutal. It is deeply moving, and makes you think what has currently become of humanity, and also has some sci-fi in there for the Trekkies. I believe everybody should see this movie before they visit their "mile."

I haven't exactly seen the movies, but I'm in the middle of book 5 of the series (Percy's kind of in the middle of being forced into a straightjacket). I love the books, though! I love Tom Hanks, too, but I don't think my mother'll let me see the actual thing...which almost doesn't make sense, considering the bad language and violence is in the books, too. Whatever. I'll just resort to Shrek and Harry Potter for now.

I loved the character of John Coffey. My parents pretty much forced me to watch this movie last year, and I actually really liked it. I thought I was gonna be bored for three hours but that was far from the case.

From the very beginning, this movie feels different-- which is a good thing. It can be hard to capture an audience so completely without action or whatnot, but The Green Mile delivers in spades. We are introduced to very distinct and realistic characters, and the acting is absolutely superb. Don't let the fact that this movie garnered none of the Oscars it was nominated for put you off-- this movie more than deserved all of them. All the way to the goosebump-inducing ending, The Green Mile is the most astounding movie of the year, and gets my vote for favorite movie ever. SEE IT!!!!!!!!

i saw this when i was 12 and loved it. very emotional though. not too violent

My MPAA Rating, R: Intense sequences of strong violence, language, some strong dialogue, and sexual references

...But an even greater book!!! Some of the social behavior in this movie is utterly horrific! Yet some f it is just heart-warming!

"Tom Hanks, Michael Clarke Duncan, and Bonnie Hunt star in this great film epic that you just don't want to end! Death scenes are both intense and disturbing, yes, but it helps you grasp the feel of being one of the prisoners! Listening, watching, WAITING for the execution that you know will end your life. Tom Hanks is great as prison guard Paul Edgecomb. As does Duncan as the accused double-murderer, John Coffey. The only let down is the language which is both continuous and explicit. But positive messages fill this very close adaption to the belovedStephen King novel. Such as how God is the almighty, trust, love, forgiveness, loyalty, and sticking up for what's right, no matter the consequences. At age 12, it was the first movie I'd ever cried in the end of. (I'm sorry, I just don't cry from The Notebook. Seen it 3 or 4 times, never cried. Maybe when I'm older.)And to this day is one of the only two movies I've ever cried in. It's a wonderful, breathtaking, and marvelous journey into another world(not literally)...except you never leave your Living Room. Go see it, I highly recommend it!"
