Summary: Acting technique battles spoil movie
Review: Too long gazing into space.- For them and me.- Emotion in this movie is displayed by the two so called lovers looking left then right then briefly at each other's face to portray anything from constipation to puzzelment. Where was the chemistry? If death is all knowing why does he act like a teenage kid on his second date. Credibility was indeed missing. Brad Pitt was very inconsistent with his character analysis. I was not confident with his performace at all.Each one of his scenes he appeared not sure of what he was suposed to do - so looked left and right before proceeding, a bit like a school kid before crossing the road! I could not come to terms with his kiss of death! Should not the victim have died ! Two plastic people in a very plastic movie.

Summary: Mixed bag
Review: I'm somewhat surprised at all the glowing 5-star reviews and true passion for this movie. While I have to say that I enjoyed "Meet Joe Black", gaping plot holes (even for a fantasy) and a one-note performance by the leading lady (Forlani?) really began to wear on me.I saw this movie twice. A two-hour version on an airplane, and recently the three-hour video. I must admit the two-hour version had a lot going for it and piqued my interest for viewing the uncut version. As it turns out, the two-hour version was less painful. It successfully delete all reference to the weak sub-plot concerning the take-over attempt of Anthony Hopkin's business by his prospective son-in-law. Not only was this long, and sometimes tedious, sub-plot unnecessary, it seemed typical Hollywood and didn't ring true (basic idea being: young man worms his way in a high-powered and very successful business as number two man, gets engaged to beautiful daughter, and all for the purpose of destroying the business, the man, and his own fiancee? As it turns out, the chairman's forced resignation only happened because of Joe Black's strange presence and Hopkins obvious distracted state of mind--which seems very contrived to me--cause and effect?). Add to that, I am now suppose to believe that this brilliant business giant (Hopkins) doesn't even check with his private physician (which he must have, being that rich) about his heart attacks? Stretched my suspension of disbelief. What "Meet Joe Black" had going for it was the fairly serious tone of what is usually played as a 'light' comedy-fantasy (although it did have its cute and enduring moments). Anthony Hopkins (as usual) was a powerful force and I enjoyed almost all of the other performances, including Brad Pitt's. However, the leading lady's 'puppy-dog' longing (and long / silent) stares aimed at Joe Black, while charming at first, made me cringe by the end of the movie. And what is with the ending? Don't you think it odd, after finally realizing the true situation, she wouldn't walk (no, run) over the hill after her beloved father? Nope. Didn't happen. Instead, she turns and walks off with Joe, amidst the fireworks, leaving her obviously dead father to fertilize the grounds. Gee whiz, folks, happens every day;-) Between 1 and 10, I give "Meet Joe Black" a solid 6. Honestly, I truly liked this movie. And while I think it had real potential of being a 5-star movie, there was just too much filler and fodder for me.

Summary: Now one of my top five favorite movies.
Review: Wow, what a surprise! I usually watch action movies such as Aramgeddon, Bad Boys, Strange Days, and Star Wars, so I had absolutely no interest in watching this film. My mom kept telling me how great it was, so when she said she had watched it three times in two weeks, I knew there had to be something to it. Let me tell you, I was hooked right from the beginning, and captivated until the very end. This movie makes you remember that it is the people you love that make life worthwhile. I thought about my deceased grandfather, and my former wife in particular. But it only made me recall all the good, happy times with them, and jsut kind of reminded me of what is important in life. It's really hard to describe this film, and explain what it is that enamored me, but all I can say is JUST WATCH IT. I think the reason this movie did poorly at the theater is because the trailer does not portray accurately what it is about. After watching the film, I watched the trailer on the DVD, and said, "That is not the movie I just watched."

Summary: Beautiful and romantic
Review: Everything about this movie is beautiful, not the least of which, is Brad Pitt. There was more than one scene where he literally took my breath away. The romance is so subtle like the old time movies, the love scene was elegant.

Summary: Brad Pitt and Anthony Hopkins were wonderful!
Review: The acting portrayed in this movie is 5-star quality. I wasn't a big fan of Brad Pitt's until I saw this movie. The difference in the two characters he played was awesome! First he plays this cute bubbly guy, and then he plays Death! Anyone who can make that kind of transition is an actor for sure. And ,of course, another great for Anthony Hopkins. Somebody stop him! He just keeps on starring in great movies.
