    Further cements the awesomeness of Matt Damon...Robin Williams was great too. Absolutely amazing movie, even though the ending leaves me wanting to see more!

    I think it is safe to say that anyone who has seen this movie will wonder how two young actors managed to write such a beautiful and realistic story, with characters you can relate to despite the fact that one of them is an overlooked math genius. Add to that creditable performances from everyone involved (esp. Robin Williams in semi-dramatic mode), good directing and wonderful musical contribution from Elliott Smith (who was unfortunate not to win a Grammy for "Miss Misery"), and you have one of the most endearing movies ever. You can tell right away from the first scene that Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are the bestest of friends, and they have several poignant scenes in this movie. Minnie Driver was good as well, and you have to feel for her character. Well, like I said before...those two really should write more scripts, who knows what other stories are stored away in their heads. Watch this movie if you haven't already!

    "I don't see an intelligent, confident man. I see a cocky, scared shitless kid. But you're a genius Will. No one denies that. No one could possibly understand the depths of you."

    This movie just gets better and better the more you see it. "Good Will Hunting" was somewhat of a su...( read more)rprise winner at the '98 Oscars, giving Matt Damon and Ben Affleck their well-earned statues.

    Will Hunting (Matt Damon) is a genius. No denying that. But he has a lot of problems; intimacy, commitment, trust, just to name a few. But Will's biggest problem aren't these issues. His main problem is with himself. The only one that Will gives a chance to try to get inside of his head is Sean Maguire (Robin Williams).

    I just watched this yesterday evening for the first time in several years. I realized that what makes this film great, isn't the wonderful script but the career best performance by Robin Williams. His portrayal of Sean Maguire will go to my personal top performances. Touching and realistic, something that he will be remembered by.

    The rest of the cast, Matt Damon, Minnie Driver, Stellan Skarsgård also do a wonderful job. Even the so often despised Ben Affleck (with whom I've never had any problems with). But what happened to Minnie Driver? This role and the one in "Grosse Pointe Blank" should've opened the doors to stardom.

    The script is very character based. I enjoyed the dynamics between the leads, Williams-Damon and Damon-Driver. The script has a lot of fine dialogue and some really good long monologues, like the one where Sean first tells his opinion about Will. A complex, well written script that deserved every credit it got.

    "Real loss is only possible when you love something more than you love yourself."

    1997 was a fine year for movie enthusiasts. "Good Will Hunting" and "L.A Confidential" were both robbed by "Titanic". But in the end everyone got something they wanted that year. James Cameron got to be "King of the world" and I got to see this wonderful movie that just gets better and better.

    It's a decent movie with decent actors. I found myself laughing after the pond scene as I imagined myself leaping out of my seat in the theater and pacing down the aisle and stairs going: "Oh shit, son! He did NOT just do that! He laid the smack down on Good Will Hunting! It is O...( read more)N!... IT. IS. ON!!!"
