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: Acting Athony Hopkins, Brad Pitt, Clair Forlani. Score deeply stirring.  Mood deeply engaging.
Cons: none

I have no idea why people hate this movie, it is a favorite of mine and I'm a "tough guy".  This movie is a stunning study of humanity and death, death that is with a hunger for understanding life.Anthony Hopkins delivers a top of his game ...

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: 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: Great dialogue; Anthony Hopkins' performance
Cons: Unconvincing subplots

Meet Joe Black is officially a remake of Death Takes a Holiday, but it’s more reminiscent of a different film, Hal Ashby’s Being There. That movie starred Peter Sellers as Chance the Gardener (aka Chauncy Gardner), a slow-witted fellow who knows only...

Pros: great storyline and actors
Cons: none that I can think of

We were flipping the channels the other night and decided to watch Meet Joe Black. I was so glad we did. This movie was fantastic. Only Brad Pitt can make death look so good!
I feel that this movie had it all. Love, death and even taxes!!
Brad...

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: 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: 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...
