Meet Joe Black: Death takes a Vacation

by Gant , Jan 23 '01
Pros: Anthony Hopkins' terrific performance, good musical score, great cinematography
Cons: Pitt's weak performance, length and often monotonous feel of the film
Martin Brest's three hour long drama has its tremendous moments as well as its downright silly ones.

Brad Pitt plays Death, a businesslike yet curious specter who feels the need to experience humanity for a while. Bill Parrish, played by...

Who knew death was so appealing

by chelle-wheels , Jan 29 '00
Pros: Steamy love scene
Cons: Steamy love scene
Brad Pitt as death, makes the thought of dying not so bad. If your looking for something different, this film is the one. It has it all, a little comedy, a little crying, a little suspense, a little romance and a hot love scene between Pitt and Forlani....

Lightening could strike

by taryn35203 , Jan 24 '00
Pros: It has love, death, and betrayal
Cons: Long
I really liked the movie Meet Joe Black. It has been a movie of mixed reviews but I think it is one that you need to judge for yourself.

Anthony Hopkins is wonderful as usual. He is absolutely believable as the character William Parrish, the...

death takes a vaction updated

by kellimc , Jan 11 '00
Pros: stylish remake
Cons: kinda long
This movie is a re-make of the oldie death takes a vacation. This was done very classy and not to many changes were made to the over all plot. Brad Pitt made a good "death" and of course Mr. Hopkins was his usual great self. I had not seen the...

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....

I,m in Love!!!!!!!!!!!!

by RedCavelier , Dec 15 '00
Pros: Good story line
Cons: none
I was flipping through the TV channels sometime last year when one of the movie channels caught my eye. I sopped and started to watch because one of the characters was so good looking I wanted to see who it was.

The movie was called Meet Joe...

Met Joe... Blech!

by buyme , Mar 28 '00
Pros: 1 good stunt, 1 good song
Cons: Slow movie, really
I should've listened to the critics. After reading bad reviews about this movie in papers, I picked it up at the video rental. I blame it now on temporary insanity. How bad can it be? Anthony Hopkins, Mr Hannibal "Fava beans" Lecter, should...

I can't believe what I was missing!!!

by truthseeker64 , Jul 19 '00
Pros: Great acting for the most part, terrific story telling, powerful, thoughtful, wonderful script
Cons: It doesn't have that "All Time Great, Sure-to-Win lots of Awards" feel to it
I didn't see it at the theatre. I figured I'd wait for it on video, if even then, and my "way too macho for Brad Pitt movies" fiance figured he'd wait.. indefinitely. But yesterday, as we struggled to find that 2nd movie, for "Buy 1 Get...

Better Yet, Ignore Joe Black

by ldm18 , Oct 31 '99
Pros: Anthony Hopkins, a decent premise
Cons: A three hour ordeal with a horrible performance by Brad Pitt
Let me warn you about something from the get-go; I did not finish watching this movie--IT WAS THAT BAD. I watched about 2 hours of this neverending story and, seeing that there was just no end in sight. decided to save myself from further...

Slow but Stunning

by Smac11231 , Dec 26 '99
Pros: strong emotion (emphasized by a beautiful score)
Cons: it's a long one!
Meet Joe Black is centered on one of the most fascinating ideas that has come out of Hollywood in a long time. Humans have a constant focus on death and the quest for understanding of mortality, and this movie answers the question, "If you knew you...

This movie was the "Pitt"s

by WiniPuBare , Feb 01 '00
Pros: Good digital tricks
Cons: Sooooooo boring
All I can say about this movie is "THANK GOODNESS FOR THE FAST FORWARD BUTTON!!!"

Oye vey! This movie was totally boring. How long can two men sit there and stare at each other and not say a word? And how long can a girl gaze...

"Meet Joe Black" - longest movie ever

by adm , Sep 23 '99
Pros: Claire Forlani
Cons: Too long, too slow, too predictable
This movie felt like it was 27 hours long. One of my girlfriends talked me into seeing this so she could see pretty-boy Brad. I wish I'd resisted more. The basic story is that the Reaper takes a holiday and comes to Earth in the form of Brad Pitt....

Be prepared to think about your life

by navarr1 , Dec 13 '99
Pros: Makes you appreciate life
Cons: Makes you think about death
Incredible! That's how I feel about this movie. Brad Pitt and Anthony Hopkins put on a marvelous performance. The Storyline will make you start to think about the things that have gone on in your life, things still want to do and your thoughts about...

"As Certain As Death And Taxes"

by bizess , Aug 07 '00
Pros: great acting, script, sets
Cons: none
OK, I'll put this to ya' straight. I'm one of those few people who actually liked "Meet Joe Black". Yes, I was hesitant to rent this movie considering every single solitary review I saw of it said it was long, boring and stupid. But, being...
