Lucas V Amazing movie. People who truly know how to love and appreciate life will enjoy this movie. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/13/25 Full Review Ti H. Meet Joe Black is a charming fairy tale, and Brad Pitt is endearing and otherworldy as Death, who is captivated by the one thing he can never have but yearns to experience: Life. Pitt exudes innocence and true joie de vivre as he enjoys all the trappings of life such as peanut butter and falling in love, and Death returns this yearned-for Lost Love to Claire Forlani. This is worth every amazing, enchanting moment of three hours. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/20/25 Full Review Fã d It's a movie you can see from begining to end without getting bored. It's very well written and directed. The acting of all cast is just suberb. Even tinny characters like Eddie (long friend and business partner of William Parish) that shows up in about 4 scenes but it establishes how faitful and honorable he is and how much he admires William. One characteristic that makes this movie great is its hability do let the audience know what was the backstory without ever showing it in "flashbacks". Its small things like the scene were Eddie follows William to the lifts after he was voted out of his own firm and scenes as the older daughter on the dinner table saying "I should have my head examined again". The all peanut butter scene in the kitchen, somehow, also eye catching, spcially due to see on the background the remaining help first disturbed to see a house guest in there, then amused and relaxed. And lets just say it: no love scene is easy to coreograph. But one with Death? How would one do that? It end up to be one of the most beautiful love scenes I have ever seen on screen. It's all there in Brad Pitt's face. The "first time" and all the "new emotions". Yeap. This is a movie with many layers and a great, great script. You can see it several times without growing tired. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/17/25 Full Review Esteban R Meet Joe Black is the interrelationship between love and death in a language that exudes romance and sensuality. In this unusual story, in which death becomes obsessed with a woman's love, something more than the relationship between two beings at opposite ends of humanity develops; while one overflows with life and youth, the other gallops uncontrollably toward the valley of shadows. Meet Joe Black reminds us not to waste the most important opportunity life gives us: time with our loved ones. The performances are top-notch, not to mention the cast and the chemistry between the main characters. However, beyond its narrative consistency, I perceive that this film explores very profound aspects of life and death. It makes us ask many questions about love, trust, commitment, awareness of one's conduct, and the fulfillment of one's duty, but especially about finitude, knowing that at any moment death can fall in love with our lives and claim them as its own. Unmissable! “Meet Joe Black is enhanced by its performances, its splendid soundtrack, and the classic style of its narrative.” Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/14/25 Full Review Lisa W This movie is not as bad as critics or other viewers would have you believe. Is it LONG? Yes. Is it realistic? No! Yet, I still found it enjoyable. If you are a FAN of Anthony Hopkin's always-excellent acting, emotive voice & beautiful cadence, or just HIS PRESCENCE IN GENERAL (like I am)... he will carry this whole movie for you! This movie has ppl to like/dislike, love/hate, AND LOVE AND HATE. There is good acting in here - even if the writing wasn't top-notch. Give it a try. Don't forget, you can always pause it & come back! Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/07/25 Full Review Tameka L It's a good movie if you turn it into a drinking game. Take a shot every time someone says "yes" or "thank you". Then maybe you'll be too drunk to ask questions about the weird plot. All this movie proves is if you're Fine aka good looking you could get away with murder. Lol Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/06/25 Full Review Read all reviews
