Meet Joe Black

Pros: The beginning and the end`
Cons: Everything else

GRADE: D-

The Angel of Death never looked so good. Although the character usually recalls images of skeletons wearing flowing black robes and sporting sharpened scythes, in the romance "Meet Joe Black" golden-haired, blue-eyed Brad...

Pros: Brad Pitt makes you want to look for love again!
Cons: The ending leaves to many doors open.

After waiting so long to see this movie, I was a little ticked about the ending. The movie started out as most love stories do and then sucked you right in with the wonder of a mystery voice, the voice of a man that comes to deliver the news that he is...

Pros: Very good acting, direction, photography, sets
Cons: Perhaps strikes too deep a chord

Meet Joe Black is one of Brad Pitt's best roles. He played Death as a flat, emotionless being who finally came to be more sympathetic to the human condition. He fell in love with the daughter of the philanthropist-industrialist, Anthony Hopkins (always...

Pros: It's bearable.
Cons: Way too long, poor acting.

I only saw this movie because I had some movie gift certificates that were going to expire and "Meet Joe Black" was the best movie playing at the time. I didn't any have high expectations going into the movie, so that probably explains why I...

Pros: Anthony Hopkins is tops
Cons: Brad Pitt slows down the film

This could have been a good movie if our expectations weren't so
high. Brad Pitt and Anthony Hopkins are two hot stars... I expected
more. The basic story was good - but Brad Pitt, as
the main character, Joe Black, gave a performance
...

Pros: Cinematography, Hopkins' performance
Cons: Too long & overdone

I never saw "Meet Joe Black's" predecessor "Death Takes a Holiday", so I have no reference as to any changes in the script or otherwise general production of the 1998 release. Suffice it to say, I was disappointed with the version...

Pros: Brad Pitt was still the hunk I pictured him to be.
Cons: If you want a movie that never makes any sense..this is the one for you.

I had heard alot about this movie from different age
groups. I thought I would take a Night and rent Meet
Joe Black so I did. It had two video tapes on it and
I took time out of my busy schedule to settle down and
spend my night...

Pros: Lots of Brad Pitt's blank stares, about 3 hours worth
Cons: About an hour too long, capped by the worst ending ever ( see other reviews for the answer )

Ever been to one of those "free vacation/show/dinner"offers and all you have to do is listen to a sales pitch about some time share in Boondocks, VA? You know, where after 2 hours you feel as if you're sitting in molasses and just can't...

Pros: TEARS AND LAUGHS
Cons: ENDS KINDA STRANGE

I loved this movie MEET JOE BLACK. I rented it as soon as it hit the video shelves. I AM so glad that I did. The girl in this movie meets her soulmate in a coffee shop. They make small talk while admiring one another, then as they part, as she turns the...

Pros: Superb acting.. clever storyline and outlook on life.
Cons: Time consuming, at times its just a little too mushy for me

I wasn't even going to see this movie when I first saw it laying on the coffee table.. Its a chick flick. My mom rented it one evening and as I was killing a some time before I left the house, I watched the first 25 minutes or so of it. It was very...

Pros: Great story, Great acting, never a dull moment!
Cons: I didn't want it to end, even though it was longer than most movies!

I love a movie with good scenery. Boy, did this have the best...Anthony Hopkins, still sexy for his age, in the most distinguished style, I might add, and the most incredible eyes from that of our boy Death, Brad Pitt. Not to mention that Death's love...

Pros: Anthony Hopkins' acting, Claire Forlani
Cons: A tad slow at times

Okay folks, this is the second three hour movie I have watched this weekend. The first was 'The Patriot'. 'Meet Joe Black', as I am sure everyone knows by now, is a remake of 'Death Takes a Holiday'. Brad Pitt is Mr Death who has come to take Anthony...

Pros: Great one liners, funny. moving, great characters
Cons: its hard to find three hours to watch a movie no matter how good it is.

Meet Joe Black is not a blockbuster, in fact I'd wager that 75% if the people who saw it in the movie theater went to see the movie more for Brad Pitt then for the movie itself. And most of those people were probably disappointed. I, however, was...

Pros: I'm still thinking.
Cons: Keep reading.

Combine screen great Anthony Hopkins, painfully popular Brad Pitt, and a beautiful millionaire setting and three hours of screen time to make us fall in love. So what happened?

Any movie running three hours had better be worth it. Titanic...

Pros: Hopkins dazzles. Interesting premise. Good romance.
Cons: Pitt is sorely miscast. Too long.

MEET JOE BLACK: Supernatural. There are three favorable things one can say about “Meet Joe Black”: 1) It is always a privilege to watch Anthony Hopkins, one of the most brilliant actors of our time 2) Bradd Pitt takes his shirt off (but unfortunately,...
