Meet Joe Black

Pros: Everything
Cons: not a damn thing

Meet Joe Black has gotten pretty much panned. It even sits at a 3 star over-all rating here on Epinions as I type this review. Why? I've just watched it again and I gotta say it just keeps getting better and better with each viewing. I love this...

Pros: some of the acting is semi-good
Cons: the rest of the acting is atrocious, awful writing and directing, excruciatingly long runtime

Bad movies suck. An obvious, but true, statement. It's bad enough when I watch a bad movie of my own free will, but it's worse when someone else forces me to watch a movie I avoided for years because I knew it would suck. Now I like Brad Pitt, so I was ...

Pros: Pitt and Hopkins
Cons: None at all

Pros: Anthony Hopkins is beautiful
Cons: it's almost as long as Titanic...

I don’t know why people hate this movie. I have actually admitted to real life persons that I have seen this movie, in its entirety and I get a mixture of facial expressions that mostly remind me of a cross between smelling a case of mothballs and...

Pros: Awesome talent, great story.
Cons: Slow at times

This would not have been the type of movie I would have pulled off the shelf in the video store, and brought home to watch. I had looked at it in the rental store, read the box, and put it back more than once. It just did not seem to grab me from the ...

Pros: Anthony Hopkins
Cons: Three agonizing hours of prolonged nothingness

This is one of the few times I have been thoroughly enraged by the amount of time a film displaced in my life. At least the equally long and miserable Boogie Nights had style and snappy dialogue, plus good acting all around. This film had one...

Pros: Brad Pitt gorgeous as always,
Cons: way too long, very slow story line

I am presently on vacation and staying at a friends home. She rented a movie for us to enjoy last night. It was one I had never heard of but the line up of Anthony Hopkins and Brad Pitt seemed like a winner for sure. It was 178 minutes long, so we got...

Pros: Claire Forlani, Anthony Hopkins and Claire Forlani
Cons: The third HOUR!

There's a pretty good movie buried somewhere in this big, dull blob. I can't even believe that there's so little so say about a movie over 3 hours long! Suffice to say there's like 5 characters, and they talk. A lot. This looks like an American attempt...

Pros: Hopkins is always a treat to watch on screen!
Cons: Unfortunately, the rest of the movie isn't a treat to watch on screen...

I saw this film immediately after seeing "The Wizard of Oz" and it was a 10:00pm showing and I was surprised at how packed the theater was - quite a few people turned out to see it. I don't know how much of the turnout had to do with it being cheap...

Pros: Anthony Hopkins' terrific performance, good musical score, great cinematography
Cons: Pitt's weak performance, length and often monotonous feel of the film

Martin Brest's three hour long drama has its tremendous moments as well as its downright silly ones.

Brad Pitt plays Death, a businesslike yet curious specter who feels the need to experience humanity for a while. Bill Parrish, played by...

Pros: good plot, touching
Cons: long

I must admit that I was a little hesitant about seeing this movie because of the length. (I usually find it hard to sit through a movie for almost 3 hours.) And never being a huge Brad Pitt fan, I missed out on this wonderful movie until last night.
...

Pros: Brad Pitt is kinda cute but what is with the greasy hair.
Cons: Way too many

"Meet Joe Black" was on TV and my roomate wanted to watch it. I really had no desire to watch the movie, having read all of the bad reviews when it came out but I did not care I would just read and ignore it. However, I had to pay attention because it...

Pros: Good overtakes evil
Cons: Did not understand the ending

A friend of mine recommended this movie to me telling me how good it is. I rented it and truly enjoyed it from the beginning to end. Brad Pitt is not only drop dead gorgeous, but a very good actor. His performance in this movie was outstanding. I was...

Pros: Superb acting.. clever storyline and outlook on life.
Cons: Time consuming, at times its just a little too mushy for me

I wasn't even going to see this movie when I first saw it laying on the coffee table.. Its a chick flick. My mom rented it one evening and as I was killing a some time before I left the house, I watched the first 25 minutes or so of it. It was very...

Pros: Thought provoking, masterfully crafted.
Cons: Extremely awkward sex sequence.

Meet Joe Black could be an excellent companion piece to the recent film What Dreams May Come (one of my favorites of this year.) Where “What Dreams…” looks at death through the eyes of a dead man, Meet Joe Black looks at the living through the eyes of...
