Excellent, but lacking in resolution - Spoilers

Rating: Null/10 (4 January 2004)

I liked this movie until the end dragged out about 4 times too long (kinda like Return of the King: everytime I hoped it would be over, there was another 5 minutes of sheer hilarity coupled with absolute boredom) (No, Joe Black wasn't quite as disappointing - I'm just bitter movies aren't exactly the same as the books). I don't mind long movies at all, but the ending left me feeling unfulfilled. I kept waiting for Bill Parrish to drop dead or something, or for Joe Black to reveal who he truly was. But ultimately, Bill just disappears and Susan somehow knows everything, they walk off into the sunset, err... fireworks and live happily ever after. Now, I know this is a STORY and not real life, but it's hard to reconcile some things as this. I did feel really good when they "get the bad guy."
Overall, great film (I actually did like most of it) right up to the closing. I appreciated a movie I can recommend to my dad that's not "full of filthy language and nudity!" (his words)
