Good Will Hunting - Collector's Edition Customer Reviews (61 - 63 of 65 Reviews)

A melodramatic disappointment.
This is a great concept/story, and the set-up is good. However, the film takes a nosedive shortly after beginning, with tiresome and cliched characters and melodramatic scenes -- the "apple" scene being the exception. I think this movie is vastly overrated and filled with manufactured angst. I could not wait for it to end...and then I thought the ending was unfitting. The movie must serve as a sort of litmus test of personalities: those who love it and think it's brilliant, and those who, like me, think it's dreck.

Fun, Real, Deep, Excellent
Director Gus Van Sant did a fine job directing the excellent actors in this film. There are a lot of similarities to his other film "Finding Forrester" with Sean Connery and Rob Brown, but this one has a very special and different feel to it. I was amazed at how well written the screenplay came from Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, which earned them each an Academy Award. Robin Williams was fantastic, and earned an Academy Award as well. He really got into his role, as well as the rest of them. Good Will Hunting is a very memorable film about a troubled young man with recognizable great potential, with strong friendships that inspire him to be better. This was a great role for all characters. However, if you happen to be someone who takes offense to foul language, you'll want to be prepared to hear a lot of it. Its R rating was well deserved, due to pervasive strong language, some sexual dialogue, and a scene of violence. For another movie with similar taste and not so much profanity, I would recommend Finding Forrester. Good Will Hunting was an amazing and memorable film. It was well worth my time.

An oscar winning movie you will love
The best drama of the ninties is good will hunting. It won three oscars including best picture. The tale is fluent and brethtaking. Movies like these are a definite classic. 10/10
