Meet Joe Black | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

To call the three-hour-long "Meet Joe Black" leaden would do an injustice to lead.

I've never encountered such dramatic flatulence, never heard so many pregnant silences that don't deliver, never watched so many close-ups that graze on actors' faces until every last trace of expression has been devoured.

Martin Brest's weepie is nicely played but overlong - especially considering the original zipped by in under 80 minutes.

One tedious, sentimental, drawn out scene gives way to another and death does seem to be having dominion over us.

Pitt, who is not asked to do much more here than behave alternately like a robot, a bashful boy and a moron, fulfills his modest tasks with aplomb. When he has to act, though, he fares less well.
