Viewers generally appreciate 'Meet Joe Black' for its unique blend of fantasy and reality, where Death explores human emotions and love. The performances of Brad Pitt and Anthony Hopkins are frequently praised, and the film's emotional depth and exploration of love and mortality resonate with many. However, some find the film's three-hour length and pacing overly slow, feeling that it detracts from the overall experience.
👍 Unique portrayal of Death exploring life.
👎 May feel overly long and slow-paced.

It was quite interesting movies when Brad Pit was at his prime - when he was young and very good looking although he wasn’t that good acting ( his stares were very awkward) But I don’t know, maybe because I watched it with very low volume since Brian was a sleep I wasn’t in awe or impressed by the dialogue and how the story went. I think the main character, the grim reaper, or Joe Black, could’ve been more charismatic and wise. Especially when he suddenly says something stupid like he wants to take Susan to his world, I wasn’t impressed. I expected him to be more down on earth like Sandman. Or I think they chose the wrong actor for the Joe Black role.
Love is everything
