Good Will Hunting Reviews
One in a lifetime movie! Love it so much
PERFECT! 10/10! Great writing & character development
I hate that I didn't watch this movie sooner and now I hate that I can't watch it for the first time again. It's that good!
I thought Will's genius was a little outlandish and unrealistic, but the movie was still spectacular. The story was captivating, and some of the casts' best work can be seen in this movie. I definitely recommend it for drama fans!
Alright, boys, grab a cold one and settle in, ‘cause we’re talking about Good Will Hunting, a movie that’s got more heart than a Game 7 overtime. This one’s a beauty—solid writing, unreal performances, and just enough rough-and-tumble to keep a beer league bruiser like me interested. First off, Matt Damon absolutely snipes it as Will Hunting, a genius kid from South Boston who’d rather scrap in a parking lot than flex his brain in a university classroom. He’s got hands softer than a top-line playmaker but carries himself like a fourth-line grinder. The guy’s got the skills, but he’s stuck playing in the wrong league, you know? Robin Williams as Sean, the therapist, is the real MVP here. The man dangles between wisdom and warmth like a vet keeping a young rookie in check. That “It’s not your fault” scene? Buddy, if you didn’t feel something, you might have a heart colder than a backyard rink in January. It’s the kind of speech that would even get a puck-chucker like me to open up. The supporting cast? Top-notch. Ben Affleck’s got the chirps and the loyalty—every beer league team needs a guy like Chuckie. Minnie Driver’s Skylar is sweet, funny, and actually sees Will for the top-line talent he is. And let’s not forget Stellan Skarsgård’s professor, who’s basically that coach who sees potential but just can’t connect with the player. The movie’s got grit, it’s got smarts, and it’s got a soundtrack that feels like a slow skate after a hard-fought win. If there’s one knock against it, it’s that it drags a little in the middle—kinda like the second period of a late-night men’s league game when the legs start burning from too many intermission beers. Final verdict: Good Will Hunting is a classic. It’s about loyalty, second chances, and finding your true spot on the roster. 4.5/5—could’ve used a few more hockey references, but we’ll let it slide. --- Deer Hair Pads Reviews.

Good Will Hunting is my favorite movie of all time, and I give it a perfect 5 out of 5 stars. The film’s powerful themes of self-discovery, love, and overcoming personal struggles make it stand out in a way that few movies can. Robin Williams’ performance as Dr. Sean Maguire is the highlight of the film. His emotional scene where he talks about love is something that stays with you long after watching. It’s raw and real, and it feels like he’s speaking directly to you. His honesty and warmth bring a depth to the movie that no one else could have done. What I love most about this movie is the way it deals with deep emotions, like fear of opening up and being vulnerable. Robin Williams perfectly captures that understanding, showing that love isn’t just about romance, but about trust and connection. The way he helps Will (Matt Damon) break through his walls and realize his potential is so moving. The film also has a perfect balance of humor and emotion, which makes it feel so real. Matt Damon and Ben Affleck both bring their characters to life in a way that makes you care about them, especially as they face their struggles. Good Will Hunting is a powerful film that speaks to anyone who has ever doubted their worth or struggled with their own future. It’s a timeless classic, and every time I watch it, it feels like it gets better
Wonderful film. The scenes between Robin Williams and Matt Damon are outstanding and the screenplay from Damon & Affleck is simple yet highly effective. A perfectly paced film with a delightful ending.
Well written and inspiring to some degree.
A simply outstanding movie with acting to match by all the cast, the late great Robin Williams leads the show with what can only be described as a beautiful performance as Sean Maguire, who's in trusted to unlock the mind of a troubled genius.
Exceptional acting and poignant moments throughout
Good Will Hunting was a very good movie and this is something that all men should watch at least once in their lifetime. Will Hunting who is played by Matt Damon is a genius kid that makes stupid decisions in life. He gets arrested all of the time, lives in a horrible house and has his friends drive him around everywhere. This all changed when Professor Gerald Lambeau who is played by Stellan Skarsgard noticed that Will was the only one ever to solve the impossible theory in the hallway of a prestigous school. Will was arrested for assault and it was shown that he was able to get out on many other felonies because he was that smart. Gerald Lambeau decided to get Will out of jail by the terms of getting supervised by the professor and seeing a therapist at least once a week. All of the therapists quit on Will because all he did was insult them but one therapist came through and that was Sean Maguire who is played by Robin Williams. Sean basically teaches Will that all though he knows everything by book, he knows nothing about the real world and the experiences that come with it. During this process, Will meets a girl named Skylar who is played by Minnie Driver and their relationship started out as great. Will drove her away because he was scared about what the future would be like if he actually came to California with Skylar while living in Boston for his whole life. The sessions started off bad when Will was insulting Seans' dead wife but they quickly became close after Sean played Wills' game of not caring if Will didn't either. They went through very emotional sessions together and the Professor was setting up job interviews that Will kept failing on purpose. One of Wills' friends Chuckie Sullivan who is played by Ben Affleck tells him that the best part about his day is getting out of the car and walking up the steps just to only hope that Will will not answer because he has a gift. Chuckie tells Will that he would do anything for his gift and that Will should not waste another second of his life wasting it. This really stuck with Will and at the end of the movie, he ends up going for an interview. The last session concludes between the two and right before Will leaves with his new car that his friends got him, he leaves a note in Seans' mailbox. The letter said that Will had to go see about a girl, and Sean said "Damnit, he stole my line" which was great to see. Will told Skylar that he didn't love her earlier in the movie but at the end he realized that love is special. At the end of the movie, Will is seen driving to California to be with the woman that he loves. Overall, a very heartfelt movie with an even better cast and the character development we got to see from Will was just spectacular to witness.
I just watched this movie for the first time after being told by friends that I was missing out and I can tell you I wasn’t disappointed. This movie makes you emotional at times while still entertaining you in a positive way. This movie can cause you to reflect on yourself and think about what your doing with your life.
I want nothing more than to give this movie a five-star rating. I can’t even begin to capture the beauty it portrays. Robin Williams and Matt Damon play their roles so perfectly it feels as if they can read each other’s minds, as though they’ve truly lived the lives of their characters. This movie will pull on every heartstring you possess. I cannot stress enough how much everyone needs to watch it—it will change you, and that change will undoubtedly be for the better.
Simple movie with clever dialogues, very enjoyable, movies you hardly come across anymore. The addition of Robin makes it even better.
One of my all time favorite movies
“Good Will Hunting” is a heartwarming tale that asks the important question: What happens when a janitor at MIT discovers he’s a math genius while simultaneously being the world’s best friend, all while avoiding adulting like it’s a game of dodgeball? The movie features some serious bro moments, with Ben Affleck as Will’s best friend who serves as both a motivational speaker and a reminder that you need a crew to keep your life somewhat sane. Enter Robin Williams as Sean, the therapist with more emotional baggage than Will’s entire childhood. As a whole, “Good Will Hunting” is a delightful rollercoaster of deep stuff and toilet humor. It’s the film that makes you want to have an epiphany while also making you laugh until you snort. So if you’re looking for a movie that reminds you that sometimes it’s okay to not have it all figured out (or to avoid algebra at all costs), this is the one for you.
7.8/10 хорошее кино с отличной актерской игрой ну и Робин Уильямс
Well. Its been said a million times but I will say it again. They dont make them like this anymore. A movie that came out a year before i even walled this earth still has the power to seep right into your heart. Even though it follows the common story arc of young gifted orphan and old wise mentors, it has no problem making itself unique with its beautiful comedic moments and stellar cast. The dynamic between Robin Williams and Matt Damon is one of kind and possibly one of best on screen relationships in cinema. Add in huge names like Stellan Skaarsgard, Ben Afleck, and Minnie Driver, youve got a beautiful ensemble of comedy, intelligence, and passion.
Very good movie, just can get boring at times
Charming, smart, and inspirational, Good Will Hunting is a character study that gets raw and honest about street life in Boston, as well as the insecurities men tend to build for themselves getting torn down.
