Summary: Meet Joe Who? Brad Pitt? Good enough for me!
Review: I've seen alot of Brad Pitt movies... but i have to say that this one is the best! Not just because he looks like an angel (when he should be looking like death), but it's how a love story should be told. A love story without fate is like Brad Pitt without his 'sexy' status. It's just unthinkable. I only gave it 4 stars because I watched the whole thing over a few days and it didn't effect me the way it should have. i had to watch it a over a few times after to remember the links in the script. So I suggest you watch it all at once! It should make some sence then! BRAD PITT FAN? THIS ONE'S FOR YOU!

Summary: It's a hidden beauty...
Review: I suppose the movie was either not promoted well or came out at an auspicious time - it was just swept under the carpet. But after stumbling into this movie accidentally, I have been telling everyone about it. It is a beautiful movie marked with sensitive acting & realistic (albeit having the grim reaper follow you) interpersonal scenes. The story line is quite intriguing. Definitely, Brad Pitt is phenomenal in this movie; his portrayal is both believeable (again, if you could be so lucky to have him as the grim reaper!) and very moving. Although this is not primarily a "chick flik", there is one particular love scene that is SO REAL, it should frighten Jennifer Anniston!

Summary: Meet Joe Black, sooner or later everyone does...
Review: Around the time this came out, movies 3 hours or over always seemed to fit the rep of a bad movie. Most people cannot sit through a movie more than 2 hours, but there are percentage of us who can if the movie is interesting as with this movie. Everything about this movie is very enjoyable. It is so odd that this movie was in the works since 1984 and is great remake of Death takes a Holiday. Brad Pitt's performance is exceptional and I have always been a fan of Anthony Hopkins. This is the type of movie you do not mind seeing more than once even though it is 3 hours long. I find myself having the same reactions to the movie everytime I see it again. The sountrack is superb and the music blends into the movie producing more emotion everytime you see it. This movie is one you need to add to your library, you will more than likely get the urge to watch it again after you see it.

Summary: One Of Brad's Best
Review: Even though "Meet Joe Black" did not too well in movie theaters, it is an amaxing movie. The way the actors potray emotions and thoughts without saying a word, is what make this movie so great. The chemistry between Claire Forlani and Brad Pitt is HOT. Though at time this movie can be a bit slow and fairy tale like, is is truly worth seeing.

Summary: Awesome, Simply Awesome
Review: Well, glancing through the reveiws it looked like just about everyone either really really loved it or really really hated it, which i can understand. i thought it was a wnderful, attention-grabbing, interesting, thought-provking movie, but if you aren't into anything like that it would be a drag.Meet Joe Black is about, well, Joe Black. Who is death. And, unfortunatley, arrives near the beginning of the movie to take one of the main characters. Both Brad Pitt and Anthony hopkins do an excellent job throughout the movie. They were well casted and truly did superbly with their parts. Not only was this movie interesting and very serious, it also had parts that, yes, had me laughing out loud. So just take good, multiply it by infinity, take that to the power of forever and you may have the faintest idea of what I'm talking about (I know if don't have the quote right, but is it close enough for those of you who have seen the movie? Oh well, if you see it you will understand what I'm talking about)

Summary: Sensual and Satifsying
Review: Yes, Brad Pitt's appearance in this remade version of "Death Takes A Holiday" drew me into this film as...well... as heaping spoonfuls of peanut butter did to Joe Black! You see, "Death" as a person, had never allowed himself to experience such pleasures. But when he takes over the body of an anonymous accident victim, "Death" is introduced into the lushly privileged world of Anthony Hopkins' wealthy character including his beguilling daughter. Texturally woven and beautifully filmed, "Meet Joe Black" allows us to see Death as a person. As someone who doesn't like what he does, he just has to do it. And even he has his moments of remorse. Want to hear a confession? In my fantasy world, if Brad Pitt is death, I am no longer afraid of it.....bring it on, I'll bring the Peter Pan! Thanks for your interest in my comments--CDS

Summary: Charming tale....
Review: I was forced to go see this film at the cinema with a girlfriend, and reluctantly sat in my seat to endure 3 long hours of a girly, sob inducing drivel. Instead I found myself drawn inexorably in to one of the most charming, atmospheric and heart warming tales in the history of film making. The cast, from the legendary Anthony Hopkins down to the briefest walk on, all played their characters in flawless, convincing style, contributing fully towards the creation of this modern masterpiece. I rarely watch a film more than the once unless it is particularly special....I have now been enthralled by Joe Black on four occasions , and have not tired of it yet. In fact, maybe I shall watch it again now......

Summary: the love scene
Review: There isn't much left to say after reading the other reviews. I would agree with all of the positives. It is one of the most beautiful films I have ever seen. The nuances of acting by all of the main characters is sensational, and reduces the need for thick dialogue. The ending left something to be desired, but the writers did the best they could considering the direction the plot had taken. The best part of the film, however, was the love scene between Forlani and Pitt. It was breathtaking and moving, the angles and lighting were immaculate, and the music is romantic yet poignant, and I the whole construction nearly brought me to tears. It was phenomenal, maybe the best I've ever seen.

Summary: Meet Joe Black or rather meet near perfection...
Review: The movie, in my opinion, is a masterpiece in every aspect and every small detail. The leading actors are perfectly fit for their roles. And isn't it enough to know that the movie must be superb since we have Anthony Hopkins and Brad Pitt as the leading actors? Hopkins as Bill Parrish is as terrific, majestic and overwhelming as he is always. Brad Pitt as Joe Black portrays death in a charming mixture of child-like innocence and an overwhelming power that a critic has said: " If death were as charming as that, most of us would go to it willingly". The script is just so exquisite and so intelligent that you will find yourself captured at times in witty conversations or charmed by poetic speeches made by Parrish. In fact, I've spent days with Hopkins' words and charming deep voice ringing in my ears as he tells his daughter "I want you to sing with rapture and dance like a dervish". Well, I think that they should have listed the script as one of the leading figures in the movie. The movie is also perfect with its grand exquisite settings. Parrish's mansion and pool are just breathtaking. Although a lot of people criticized the movie for its length but the hours you spend in watching it are by no means wasted. I believe that Meet Joe Black is a must-watch for those who like to see the art of making movies in its charming deep meaning. "It's a real up lifter ".
