"You're not Death. You're just a kid in a suit" Meet Joe Black

by kilted1 , Feb 14 '09
Pros: Acting Athony Hopkins, Brad Pitt, Clair Forlani. Score deeply stirring.  Mood deeply engaging.
Cons: none
I have no idea why people hate this movie, it is a favorite of mine and I'm a "tough guy".  This movie is a stunning study of humanity and death, death that is with a hunger for understanding life.Anthony Hopkins delivers a top of his game ...

Meet Joe Black, Excellent Acting by Brad Pitt

by chunchun , Oct 30 '06
Pros: Good acting by both Brad and Clair
Cons: Part where they plan the party
Many people complain “Meet Joe Black” is too long and boring. I have watched it numerous times and have never felt it was too long. I am an avid movie watcher and have seen most movies that have been released. I enjoy the entire movie Meet Joe ...

Meet Joe Black: One of my top 5

by whacko26 , Jul 04 '06
Pros: emotional, humorous, passionate, human, excellent cast, great script.
Cons: None at all.
I watch this film whenever I see it's scheduled. The first time my husband and I watched it, I wanted to see if it was similar to the 1930's "Death Takes a Holiday" with Fredric March in the role of Death taking human form and falling in love with the ...

"I should have my head examined again."

by brendan2, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Nov 18 '04
Pros: some of the acting is semi-good
Cons: the rest of the acting is atrocious, awful writing and directing, excruciatingly long runtime
Bad movies suck. An obvious, but true, statement. It's bad enough when I watch a bad movie of my own free will, but it's worse when someone else forces me to watch a movie I avoided for years because I knew it would suck. Now I like Brad Pitt, so I was ...

I Didn't Think I Would Like It, But I Was Wrong!

by ktk3438 , Oct 13 '04
Pros: Awesome talent, great story.
Cons: Slow at times
This would not have been the type of movie I would have pulled off the shelf in the video store, and brought home to watch. I had looked at it in the rental store, read the box, and put it back more than once. It just did not seem to grab me from the ...

Got Any Peanut Butter?

Pros: Anthony Hopkins is beautiful
Cons: it's almost as long as Titanic...
I don’t know why people hate this movie. I have actually admitted to real life persons that I have seen this movie, in its entirety and I get a mixture of facial expressions that mostly remind me of a cross between smelling a case of mothballs and...

Meet Joe Black ~ Take A Buddy To The Movies W/O

by drdevience Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, May 23 '03
Pros: Everything
Cons: not a damn thing
Meet Joe Black has gotten pretty much panned. It even sits at a 3 star over-all rating here on Epinions as I type this review. Why? I've just watched it again and I gotta say it just keeps getting better and better with each viewing. I love this...

Meet Joe Black--Cliche Soirie Write-Off

by mrsditmer , Jul 06 '02
Pros: Pitt and Hopkins
Cons: None at all
This review is part of the "Cliché Soirée Write-Off" hosted by mind-full to celebrate her 2-year anniversary with Epinions. If you think a write-off for this purpose is cliché . . . well, that's the point. You're ahead of the game already! Read on for...

Meet Joe Black

by jo_ker , Mar 10 '02
Pros: Marcia Gay Harden and Jeffrey Tambor
Cons: Too long
Being a huge Brad Pitt fan I was very eager to see this film and although it is certainly watchable I felt a little dissapointed with it. To be fair, it is very hard to play the Devil, the only person who pulled it off in my opinion was Al Pacino in...

Meet Joe Black: Death Takes A Holiday

by playback , Jun 12 '01
Pros: good story, good performances
Cons: too long
The question is this: Can you make it through 3 hours of Brad Pitt pretending to be a kindly death spirit inhabiting a young mans body? I almost couldn't. This has got to be one of the slowest paced movies I have ever seen, with long stretches of...

This movie was interesting

by roxpum , May 13 '01
Pros: good acting, interesting movie
Cons: too long
I rented this movie a few night ago and really had no idea what it was about. I thought it was a very interesting movie. Brad Pitt's acting in this movie was great and so was Anthony Hopkins. Basically the movie is about a very wealthy man named Bill...

Hooking up with Death

by henry71 , Apr 28 '01
Pros: Brad Pitt is kinda cute but what is with the greasy hair.
Cons: Way too many
"Meet Joe Black" was on TV and my roomate wanted to watch it. I really had no desire to watch the movie, having read all of the bad reviews when it came out but I did not care I would just read and ignore it. However, I had to pay attention because it...

What were these people thinking?

by modelcar , Apr 28 '01
Pros: A cure for insomnia.
Cons: If you paid to see it, you got ripped off.
WOW - what a disaster! This is a FILM in the worst Hollywood tradition.

Brad Pitt is supposed to be Death incarnate. Anthony Hopkins is a rich guy. Claire Forlani is his daughter. Pitt shows up to take Hopkins, and falls in love with Forlani....

The Worst Movie Ever Made

by stroupis , Apr 25 '01
Pros: Umm...all the words in the title are easy to pronounce
Cons: Everything about this movie
(Warning: I have not seen this movie since it was in theaters, nor do I ever plan on seeing it again. That being said, any errors here are due to that. Of course, the movie still sucks).

Never, ever see this movie. It was the worst three...
