Summary: Beautiful - but how can you go wrong with this cast?
Review: Anthony Hopkins is surely one of the greatest actors alive today. Add to the mix Brad Pitt and the incredibly talented and beautiful Claire Forlani and you've got one great movie.

At three hours, this is a movie that requires your full attention. Otherwise, you may miss some of the great details. Every scene between Pitt and Forlani is fantastic. Just sit back and envoy this one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Dying has never been so enjoyable
Review: Anthony Hopkins is approaching his 65th birthday, when he is visited by Death (Brad Pitt), who decides to hang around and get a taste of what living is like. This film is top-notch stuff: Quality script, excellent acting from everyone, particularly Hopkins and Pitt, and the whole thing is filmed so artistically that your DVD player will look like a million dollars. It's three hours long, but it never drags, and has the greatest emotional peaks and troughs. Sumptuous, thought-provoking and sensitive.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I loved it! A movie that is both deep and beautiful.
Review: I loved this movie for its quiet elegance and ability to evoke strong feelings. Brad Pitt is overwhelmingly beautiful and affecting and he has real chemistry with Miss Forlani. The scenes with Anthony Hopkins made me wish that he could exist in the real world. Some of the scenes didn't ring true or were a little far fetched. But I see films to be affected by them and this movie made me think about my life and my actions and realize that it is an incredible gift to be here.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Good to watch instead of taking a sleeping pill!
Review: The first time I saw this was at the movie theatre with a couple of friends. Well needless to say we all fell asleep. So I figured I would it give it another shot. Since it was a midnight movie. And once again it put me right out. This movie just drags on ENDLESSLY! Just when you think it's about over, you end up having another hour or so left. I still find it hard to believe that a great actor like Anthony Hopkins was in this movie. Oh well, to me this was a waste of time and money

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Don't go by this review! Read it!
Review: This has been said many times before, but I will say it again.There is only one way to relate to this movie: If you have ever been truely in love. Now, I'm 14 years old, and I could relate to this movie perfectly only because many thinks have happened to me about love. (Yeah, I know what you're saying, he's only a kid. But trust me here guys, I know what I'm talking about. Also, I'm a scripty writer and I've been working on a love story. And I saw this film and could relate to it perfectly, only because I've been stung by love which I put into my script. This film gave me many new ideas.) To me, the three hour period went by fast. All performances are great! And by the way, Aliens (1986) used to be my favorite movie, up until 3 days ago when I saw this for the second time. (The first time I saw it, I hated it. But I decided to give it another chance.) This film and Aliens has a big difference. And as I conclude my summary, I know that few people are going to be reading this. But for those who do, if you've ever been in love before, and I mean in LOVE, and you're not a rap person or anything, then see this excellent film. And if you can, get it in widescreen. The cinematography is excellent!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Powerful Love Movie
Review: I think those few people that don't like this movie probably can't relate to it. Just ask yourself if you've ever fallen in love or lost a love one. If you have experienced this, you can definitely relate to this movie. When Joe says to Susan "I love you now and I'll love you always", it will leave you breathless. This movie sends out a powerful message about love. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love, well you havn't lived a life at all. Give Love a chance! Give this movie a chance! Watch it with all your heart and you will realize how great love is.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This movie is incredible.
Review: Forget the pooh-pooh people, glance through the raves and then formulate your own opinion. It's one of those movies that you're either going to love from start to finish or hate it. If you liked "What Dreams May Come" like I do, then you'll love it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You have to have the soul for this movie
Review: I totally relate to this movie and thought that it was the best movie ever. It was truely beautiful. Brad Pitt is an excellent actor. In order to enjoy this movie you must understand where it is coming from. It is a mixture between real life and fantasy. Excellent mix. Highly recommended for open minded people. Anthony Hopkins also acts excellently (like he usually does). His role of a father and a business man .... wow.... wish I had a father.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: This offends all sensibilities
Review: I actually felt like I was coming down with the flu when I finished seeing this movie. The music swelled to unbearable levels and was painfully long though there were plenty of moments when I was sure it would come to a halt and put me out of my misery. I left unsure of whether I wanted to see another film for awhile.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good Idea , Bad Outcome...
Review: Okay, so they made the plot interesting and different,and they produced it well, and they chose great actors for the roles, but where's the entertainment? This movie was dissapointing and way too boring to be enjoyable. This movie was PAINFULLY long. I'd suggest renting it if you really think it's something you'd like, but get ready for some major fast- forwarding.
