Good movie, just dragged about undermining what could have been great

Rating: 6/10 (13 February 2020)

VERY few movies should be 3 hours long. The story line and characters have to be far more complex to justify such a lengthy film. Meet Joe Black is compelling and for the most part it is all well done. Why did the filmmakers feel the need to extend this so long? Especially the last act. I could easily cut out 30 minutes of fluff, probably an hour and still kept the main themes of the movie intact. 6 stars, undermined by the unnecessary length.
