Was it really 3 hours? I didn't notice!

Rating: 10/10 (17 April 2002)

It has come to my knowledge that most people think "meet joe black" is too long - although I must agree with several other reviewers that the 3 hours are well spent:
Meet Joe Black is that type of film where you sit and curiously wait for answers to questions like - Can "death" fall in love? (and if so what happens?), when will this nice young man show his "darker" side and carry out his mission? and so on...
The actors and actresses couldn't have been selected more appropriate for this film. Anthony Hopkins and Brad Pitt both deliver superb performances - probably because their characters fit them so well. Every time Claire Forlani enters the set my heart starts pounding and I'm completely paralyzed until the scene's over...WOW what a character, in my opinion unmatched in both beauty and personality! With this said I think it's a great(even grand) movie - not just another action or comedy-parody, but a heartfelt movie on the same level as perhaps "Titanic".
Thanks!
