Good Will Hunting (1997): Overrated, Good, Great, or Flawless masterpiece?

[Seahawks Fan]

How do you rate this modern classic?

 

[tomjones]

It's a modern day classic. My only criticism is that the later part of the film kind of dies a little, but most of the film is very good.

 

[Pliny Pete]

Its not your fault

Whose performance did you like better, Matt Damon's or Robin Williams'?

 

[I Am Legion]

Classic. Well-acted, written, as close to a 10 as you can get without being Shawshank or It's a Wonderful Life.

 

[Protectandserve]

I would say great. Robin Williams performance was amazing.

He absolutely brought it and I remember being shocked that someone I only knew for comedy stuff was such a damn good actor.

That's a tough question. The film is very centre focused around Matt Damon, but I felt Robin Williams had a better performance.

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

Masterpiece.

 

[Sweater of AV]

TS doesn't give his opinion but asks for similar movies.

Of those options, I'd say great.

 

[Aegon Spengler]

It ain’t flawless but it’s a good movie

In a side note I'm looking for similar movies to this one. Any recommendations?

I think it's a good movie.

 

[MLarson]

I also think this is one of the greatest scenes in a movie.

 

[moreorless87]

I think as far as "worthy" oscarish drama in the 90's goes its a cut above most of the rest, Williams especially is genuinely excellent not just shmaltzy.

 

[Oris79]

It's a very good movie with some great scenes.

 

[IndyCovaHart]

I love genius movies so my standards are low in this genre but the acting and filming techniques are great.

RIP Robin

 

[revoltub]

It's good.

 

[Chesten_Hesten]

Didn't like it.

 

[The Good The Bad The HBK]

8 or 9/10 = really great/ excellent

 

[Streeter]

Movie is truly GOAT level untill the end where it sort of just fizzles out . Like a perfect gymnastics routine where she fals a little on the landing n ruins the 10.
