Hopkins perfect, movie boring, Forlani beautiful!

Rating: Null/10 (19 January 1999)

"Meet Joe Black" shows (as "Legends of the Fall" did) that the combination of Anthony Hopkins and Brad Pitt is specially made for fans of the heart-break-genre. Although there are some funny dialogues between tears and breaking hearts, there are far too many of these sentimental non-sense scenes. Anthony Hopkins acted - as usual - perfect, in my opinion also Brad Pitt wasn't that bad some critics say he was. But I think, Johnny Depp would have been a better choice for this character! If the love-scenes weren't that long (and boring), I would like this movie, so I only like Claire Forlani!!
