Summary: The single best movie I've ever seen
Review: Ok, I have never ever written a review before, but I feel that this movie deserves a ridiculous amount of praise. First off, this is easily my favorite script which is important since I'm a screenwriter. Ben Afleck and Matt Damon deserved their Oscar. The acting is incredible on all parts, not one line is delivered poorly. The direction is great on Gus Van Sant's part, and the setting of the film is perfect. I love Boston...even south Boston. And the score by Danny Elfman is spectacular as always.
Now, with that said, this film is a film every one should see. It's not one where you can simply describe what its about. It's just has too many themes. I absolutely love this film, no matter what any one says. It really is in my mind the best ever made. Please note: I hate it when people build up a movie so much that when you watch it, it's not what you expected and you're let down, so watch this movie with no expectations. Please form your own opinion. Just know, that in my mind, this is the best movie ever.

Summary: I'll beat you up if you come back...
Review: Dr. Gerald Lambeau (Stellan Skarsgård), mathematical genius and professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has presented an extremely advance math problem in the hallway for the students to solve. When the correct solution is presented for the mathematical problem the whole school becomes interested in who the new genius is that could explain Dr. Lambeau's problem. Dr. Lambeau discovers Will Hunting (Matt Damon), the janitor, solving a second more difficult problem, which leads Dr. Lambeau to pursue the unique talent of Will. Will has unmatched intellectual aptitude and a severe cynical view of the world that leads him to escape the world with his friends while breaking the law. In Dr. Lambeau's search he finds Will in jail, but offers him a chance to avoid prison if he works out his issues with a psychologist. As Will begins to see Dr. Sean Maguire (Robin Williams), Sean faces a his own troubles through Will. In addition, Sean discovers that Will bears serious and unresolved issues from his past, which seems to be the root for his cynicism and hostile behavior. Good Will Hunting is an excellent story written by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck that comes to life through brilliant direction of the many different characters, which is performed by a great cast. All aspects of Good Will Hunting are brought together in a brilliant cinematic experience that will leave the audience in awe.

Summary: Do You Like Apples??
Review: An excellent film in the same vane (but very different setting) as Dead Poet's Society. Know thyself, know thy gifts, and apply them well. Tomorrow may never come for you or I.... A stiff shot of one-liners and street-smarts rounds out one of the very best dramas to hit the screen in years. By far Matt Damon's best work IMO, and probably Robin William's best work as well from the standpoint of him portraying a truly diverse character (most of his roles are not diverse characters by and large). Minnie Driver also did an excellent job as a supporting character in this movie. Highly recommended.

Summary: One of the best films I have ever seen........
Review: Good Will Hunting may be the best movie I have ever seen. I have said that for years, and I mean it. It has a great script, brilliant acting (even though Ben Affleck is in it), and great direction. There are few movies that can get by on mostly dialogue alone. Kevin Smith's movies can do that. He was a producer on this movie, by the way. But, most movies that make 100 million are special effects flicks that cost almost that much to make. This movie is different. This is a story about Will Hunting (Matt Damon). He is a genius. In every sense of the word. He knows more about math than most people can imagine. He is only 20 and spends most of his time getting drunk with his buddies and getting into trouble. One day while working as a janitor at a prestigous college, he solves a math problem that the profressor (Stellen Skarsgard) has put on a chalk board in the hallway & is hoping that one of his students can solve it by the end of the semester. Will then solves it while he mopping the hallway. Then the profressor puts up another problem, and while Will is in the middle of solving it, he gets caught. Then he runs off, quits the job, goes & gets drunk with his buddies, gets into a fight, & assaults an officer. That math professor then comes to bail him out, but only on one condition. Will has to work with him on math & he wants will to be his prodigy, in a way. By court order, Will also has to see a pychology professor. And this is where the movie really kicks in. Robin Williams plays the psychology professor. He and Will don't really get along at first, but Will likes him. They eventually end up trusting each other and form a very good friendship. This is where the core of the movie lies. The dialogue between the two is amazing. They bounce & play of each other perfectly. The professor is trying to get Will to open up about his problems he has had and make him a better person. All the while trying to hold the math professor at bay and let Will make up his own mind. Will is a troubled youth. He is a genius and he knows it, but he wastes it and hides behind it. He evetually meets a nice girl (Minnie Driver), but he pushes her away eventually, as well. The only people he doesn't try to push away are his three best friends (Ben Affleck, Casey Affleck & Cole Hauser). They don't challenge him, but he likes them around. I was shocked when I watched this and then thought about the fact that Damon & Affleck wrote this movie. I couldn't believe it. And it's clear who is the better actor of the two, as well. Damon shines in his first lead role & this is the movie that got him noticed. Affleck was a no-name at the time and between this & 'Chasing Amy'(Kevin Smith movie) he is now who he is today. Robin Williams recieved a much deserved 'Best Supporting Actor' award for this. He is abosolutely amazing. Basically, when this came out, I wasn't too hyped to go see it. After I saw it the first time, my jaw was on the floor. This is an amazing movie that everyone should take the time to see. It's worth every penny you pay for it and it's a movie you and your girlfriend (or even buddies) can watch. The special features are pretty decent. Most of it came from the laserdisc. You get a commentary track from director Gus Van Sant, Matt Damon, & Ben Affleck. There are 11 deleted scenes, a production featurette, trailer, tv commercials, a music video, & some behind the scenes footage. Not bad, but I would have liked a better featurette. Basically if not for the commentary & the deleted scenes, the supplements wouldn't be very good.

Summary: Matt Damon is found!
Review: Lets face it, Matt Damon hasn't really stunned anyone, but he knows how to act. He proves it here. From being an abusive character one minute to quite emotional the next. Robin Williams, who plays his shrink, is beautiful in this role. He does not just play the listener but has got under the skin of the character and given him more depth. With the death of his wife and rivalry with the college mate, he has done well to create a much more challenging role. Ben Affleck is not really my favourite person, and I don't think we can say he is a good actor, but he has his moments. Going hand in hand with Matt in writing this was his best decision. He has a moment, lets admit it, when he puts Matt in his place over the job opportunities he is given. The script is well written and they have produced a nice piece of work. The lose of a star is due to Minnie Driver...once again, not a big fan, so she lets the side down.

Summary: A true inspiration and beauty of a movie
Review: You MUST see this movie if you still haven't seen it. Based on the great original Oscar-winning script by Damon and Affleck, this is the story of an angry young kid from the wrong side of the tracks in Boston. He is a math genius but is too upset to do anything constructive with his life. His encounter with a shrink (Robin Williams) changes his life because he finally meets his match. Damon-Williams dynamic is a sheer pleasure to watch and savor. Affleck, a much better writer than an actor, holds out his own as Damon's friend from the same down-and-out working-class neighborhood. See this movie to be uplifted, inspired, encouraged and feel good again about our troubled world. Super entertainment. Highly recommended.

Summary: Very good perfomance
Review: Strange thing, guys. The movie is full of Hollywood's
cliches ("kind of crazy" genius; child abuse; big money issue
in relationship with a girl; not too smart professor -
Fields medalist, by the way!!!!!), but nevertheless it's very good. Everybody deserves 5 stars for perfomance except Matt Damon, who deserves 6 stars (out of 5). I especially liked Minnie Driver, too.
FYI: there are no Fields medalists in MIT, to my knowledge.
