Reviews for Meet Joe Black [Blu-ray]

One of my favorite movies

Puntos Fuertes: +good performances from Anthony Hopkins and Brad Pitt +Great to look at (both sets and actors/actresses); Claire Forlani's sparkling/twinkling eyes are so sexy.

Puntos Débiles: -Claire Forlani's acting isn't good during the quietier, dramatic scenes.

Call me sappy or a romantic but I fell in love with this movie the first time I watched it on video. I try to catch it when I know it's playing on tv. I even bought the dvd (this from a guy who doesn't own many dvds).

Early on we have Bill Parrish (Hopkins) giving his daughter Susan (Forlani) a lecture on love (it's passion, obsession) and how her current relationship lacks excitement. Then Susan happens to meet a guy (Pitt) at a coffee shop and they instantly hit it off. I love this scene with the banter and playful flirting between the two characters; only if real life was this scripted and easy.

The pacing is slow but it's never boring. Maybe it's deliberate to match the subject matter. It's a great movie to watch on a slow day when you have nothing planned; just sit back and let the story unfold without having the urge to rush through it.

The Special Features don't really sound that special, to be honest I haven't checked that content.

Loved it

I never watched it until it came on TV and my dad said it was good. He's was right. I liked the plot and the romance enhanced it. All the acters did a good job.

This actually could've been a good movie with a good editor--actually, ANY editor would do. As good as the concept was, there were scenes that dragged on endlessly with no purpose whatsoever. Just killed any momentum that movie might have had. I recommend watching this movie, but only with your finger on the fast forward button.

Worth three stars simply for the scene where Brad Pitt takes a stroll across a busy street and is immediately slammed into by a car, his body thrown like a rag doll only to fall in the path of another car. I like Brad Pitt, but I could watch that scene for hours.

I enjoyed this film. The length could have been cut a bit I think though. It's a rather bleak story, with Pitt playing Death, who enters the life of Hopkins telling him his time is up, but delays the innevitable for a tour of his life. They end up best buddies. This film is charming with a bittersweet tale of life and death. Plenty of tears along the way, with a few added smiles. I recommend this one for something completely different.

Brad Pitt as a developmentally disabled enbodiment of death - total drek.

Didn't see the whole movie. Let's see... Anthony Hopkins and Brad Pitt. Pitt didn't act well next to Hopkins. Pitt's ego seemed to overshadow his character.

Before I begin, if you don't like Brad Pitt and you are going to mark this as "Not Helpful". Then what the hell are you doing searching for material related to him? This movie was great! Simply the best, it is long but when it is Brad Pitt who cares. This is another good movie, I love the soundtrack as well! Brad if your reading this...(yeah right...), but really he is a great actor. Hollywood needs his kind....

I caught this one last night on cable. Probably not the best place to see it for the first time because, with commercial interruption, it moves even slower than you might experience in a theater. And, whatever else “Meet Joe Black” is it is certainly and without a doubt a slow paced movie. Anthony Hopkins still manages to shine in several scenes and Brad Pitt gleams with a magnetic melting smile and charisma comparable only to Robert Redford’s of three decades ago. Overall, it’s a good story, but kind of a sad one in my opinion even though it is probably supposed to be somewhat uplifting. My biggest problem was the previously mentioned extreme slow pace. When it got too sluggish, as it so often did, I found myself maybe not drifting off to sleep but at least wondering if it might not be time to load the dishwasher.

Although I dodn't care for thw woman actress(the name leaves me), I was impressed by the portrayal of Death by Brad Pitt, and of course Sir Anthony Hopkins is always good. I reccomend this film. Porbably wouldn't want to watch it more than once or twice though.

This movie is rather strange, but occassionally it has it's moments. It is rather intense and you must pay attention at all times which is hard considerng it's 3hour length. All actors performances were great (Hopkins, Pitt and Forlani). This is a definate movie for fathers and daughters to see together (or at least mums and daughters). It's got a few teary moments, but generally is on the boundary of give it a go. It's a movie you have to judge for yourself, depending on what you like. (All Brad Pitt fans Welcome!)
