Meet Joe Black | Rotten Tomatoes

Joanna B It's a bit of an odd premise however that's exactly why I like it. Nowadays it is very hard to find a film with an original idea. I must admit the ending was a bit too on the nose. I think it would have been much better if it ended when the dad and Joe were walking away. It would have left the audience in suspense and craving for answers which they would come up with on their own. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/25 Full Review Naomi M Honestly one of my favorite movies, how death falls in love with not only a person but with life itself Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/25 Full Review Dave B Way too shmaltzy. Brad Pitt is far too monotone. I get the point, and there is an impact when he loses his temper in an almost child-like response to being reprimanded by Anthony Hopkins, but still. Claire Forlani far too often looks like she is going to cry. Jake Weber goes from being Claire Forlani's boyfriend to destroying Anthony Hopkins' business? Really? He's that bad of a guy? Anthony Hopkins is amazing to watch as always ("Asgard is not a place, it's a people"), the best part of the movie is every scene he is in ("Are you the God of Hammers?"), but he loses his temper a bit too much, and then when he plays long to zing Jake Weber, it just feels silly. Specifically, the IRS farse carried out by Anthony Hopkins and Brad Pitt to zing Jake Weber, while potentially funny, seems entirely misplaced being that Anthony Hopkins is moments away from certain death, and he knows it ("I'm on a different path now... I love you my sons."). Also, the entire board was on the phone listening in? How did they manage that when Jake Weber happened to be arriving at a random time? The rasta talk by Brad Pitt felt off-putting, even if not intentional. At one point, I liked this movie but, I don't know if it has aged well. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/25 Full Review ELSA A It is one of my favorite movies. I can watch it over and over again. I just love it Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/25 Full Review Adam Q This is one of those movies that is a must see. The cast is amazing, the score phonominal and is an emotional rollarcoaster and tear jurker. I get that some people find it slow and long, and whilst it doesn't have a run away plot and high action, the pure symplicity of the movie and the delicate way it deals with the last day's of life are heartfelt. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/25 Full Review Luis R It’s a little weird plot, death finds love??? But can’t have it? It was good but weird Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/25 Full Review Read all reviews
