Review of Meet Joe Black (1998) by Ally S — 25 Jul 2012

This movies has everything going for it, a good script and a fantastic cast, but the director muddled everything when he didn't edit the darn thing down to a normal-length movie. Instead, he had to drag out scenes that were already understood to be emotional fifteen minutes before they began, and twenty minutes later only seem cheesy, plus he had to smear his peanut-buttery violin music all over moments that could be been very dark and deep.

I don't understand his choice in pacing or music, and I think this movie was laughable towards the end because of it.
