Title: Is it over yet?
Review: Is it physically possible to stretch a barely 90 minute idea into a full blown 180 minute film? Well, despite all theories, this movie seems to prove it possible. How? Endless, endless, ENDLESS scenes that serve no purpose. Dialogue so painful. Symbolic shots that you just don't give a damn about. A stupid sub plot about corporate take over that does not serve a point!! Although I have sat through 3 hour films before and lived through them to watch it again just because they didn't feel that long, Meet Joe Black in the isolated movie watching world where there is no time piece, feels like 7 hours. Anthony Hopkins, a great actor, is not at all the saving part and Pitt, well, try something else to impress us. And as for director Martin Brest, what were you thinking? If you're going to make a 3 hour movie, put an idea or two in it. And as for the ying yangs who gave Brest the approval for final cut, I want those three hours back!!--wc
