Kudos to Affleck & Damon for writing an amazingly quotable screenplay, and then having the courage to demand to star in it. I've heard rumors that studios wanted Ron Howard to direct Brad & Leo (with a tacked on death scene). We avoided that, and got Van Sant expertly directing all 4 lead actors, painterly photography, and a wonderful Elliott Smith soundtrack. A fantastic coming-of-age story that shows young people how to use those around them to take responsibility for their lives. Classic.

Really really good movie that gets a lot of hate because *gasp* Matt Damon and Ben Affleck wrote it. Who cares? It's awesome and you know it. Van Sant is totally absent from his typically directing style and if you usually hate his "slow, boring" stuff then try this out.

The perfect Hollywood Drama. Young white kid with amazing potential learns about himself and teaches his teachers something about themselves at the same time. It's saved by some great dialogue, and a perfect performance by Robin Williams. Worth a look but it's the poster boy for Hollywood Oscar Bait.

I think this film fulfills every young man's fantasy -- to be discovered as being great at something and then have people constantly in awe at your abilities. This is also wish fulfillment as every young man also wants Robin Williams to be his father. Williams is the ultimate wife guy. However, what is great about this is that despite leaning towards the maudlin, this all feels very human. I am ready for the sequel, "Bad Willing Hunting", where Damon dons a leather jacket and some cool shades.

Matt Damon's intellectual dialogue is about as masturbatory as Casey Affleck's character jizzing into a baseball glove, indeed geniuses can be jerk-offs too. Despite all the bluster involving greater aspirations and higher human consciousness the moral of the story somehow ends up focusing on chasing love at first sight, complete with one-date soulmate rhetoric from a twice-divorced actor. Is it wrong? Maybe not, it's just corny.

The BBC showed this not long after Robin Williams died, which definitely lent it some extra poignancy; Williams' performance hereis first class. In fact, this is pretty well put together all round - the script, acting, music and direction are all of a high standard. It maybe strays into some cheesiness, but it has a strong, warm heart which is hard to dislike.

Brilliant performances from Damon/Williams (beard ftw!) bring to life the energetic and well-written Damon/Affleck script. Real-life friendships of the supporting actors give the film its genuine heart and the dialogue is often as funny as it is thoughtful. It narrowly avoids the pitfalls of traditional uplifting films by being especially observant of the delicate human psyche and juxtaposing the need for love and acceptance vs the need for success and accolades in a very raw and honest manner.

Very enjoyable drama with an excellent script and stellar performances from everyone in the cast. Apparently there's a lot of Robin Williams, Ben Afleck and Matt Damon hate on this here internet so if you're one of those then I guess you should give this movie a big skip. If you aren't then this movie is certainly something to see.

Avoided this for a long time because, despite the fact that I like Gus Van Sant, I hate Robin Williams. But I'm glad I watched it. Not quite as hokey as I expected (though it certainly had hokiness). I've seen a few too many scenes where the friendly, laidback, no-bullshit shrink finally gets through to the troubled, guarded youth, but that's okay.

This is my favorite movie. The acting is phenomenal. The pacing is great, the chemistry between the characters is natural and fun. It's the movie I can watch over and over again with no issue. Hands down my favorite Williams film. His lessons he teaches to Will are life changing and heart warming. Every time I watch it I learn something new or I take a new lesson that I needed to hear. It's emotional and will make you feel things and I love that in a film. Definitely give it a shot. No regrets.

There is much to like about the movie. It's emotional, it's funny, it has really great characters, both in the lead roles and the supporting cast, that have some interesting dynamics. For a movie that tries to be fairly grounded, it all feels so improbable by the end of the movie. It just feels like it wouldn't be quite so simple as the movie makes it out.

The "local boys make good" story was great for Damon and Affleck in '97, and it also suits the world of the film, which has held up decently over the years but also shows the seams of the formulaic method of creating an earnest indie drama in the 1990s. Williams is the true highlight here, alternatively subdued and ferocious. Fun to watch and imagine a time when the Boston accent and the comically profane antics of hard-luck Southies were a novel thing at the movies.

Good Will Hunting is a fantastic film. It has a moving screenplay, an impressive leading performance, a sweetness to it that's not too often seen, some good supporting work, and so many small moments which make the movie so much more than it could have been. The touches by its director, Gus Van Sant, transform what would have been a good but routine coming-of-age story into something great. I absolutely recommend Good Will Hunting. It's one of the films you need to see.

Top badass moment? Until I was 16 I was good at maths. By the time I was 18 I was crap at it. In revenge, I degrade it these days by referring to it as "sums", just to get my own back on arithmetic. And I call rectangles, oblongs and deliberately fail to remember the difference between diameter, radius and circumference. Just call me a rebel! Secretly though, I'm deeply impressed by anyone who can make sense of maths. Like it or not, that makes Will badass. No cats, chainsaws or decapitation.

Probably my favorite film that I've ever seen to this point in my life, and it's simply an emotional powerhouse. Gus Van Sant's direction was stellar, the writing from Damon and Affleck nearly flawless and Robin Williams' performance stole the show. I can watch it once per week and it doesn't really get old. Wonderful in nearly every way.

Breakout film for Matt Damon and Ben Affleck but the premise is pretty ridiculous. What saves it is the solid acting by Damon and most notably Robin Williams who showed how much depth he has as an actor. Overall the film has everything needed to succeed in Hollywood..a romance, an implausible "overcoming the odds", and a coming of age story. Not as good as hyped though but it works well enough to make you feel good after watching it.

"Good Will Hunting" is just a lovely film. To list its faults would be completely missing the point, as this film sets out to be a piece of pure and simple melodrama and excels in its aim. Okay so its doing nothing new or diverse, but who cares? "Good Will Hunting" is well performed (Williams in particular is brilliant and totally deserved his Oscar), well directed and has a great little soundtrack. If anything over time this film has become underrated.

For me, close to perfect. It all centers around Will Hunting who is a marvelously complex character - cocky and aggressive towards strangers, erudite and gifted by himself; proud of his friends but ashamed of his past; full of repressed emotions. All of this is revealed gradually and with perfect timing. Will's relationships with his friends contrast well with his private side, and the history between the maths professor and the psychiatrist makes a fascinating second focal point for the story.

Scriptwise not all that great (a couple of the long monologues I could do without) and Van Sant's persona is absent at times (I actually like his pretentious, slow films!), but overall a charming film nevertheless. Matt Damon is a beautiful boy, and I bet Van Sant agrees - just look at Damon's face bathing in milky sunlight in the psychiatrist's room.

There's some decent writing here, but this movie is so smug and irritating that one barely notices. This may be Robin Williams' best movie performance, only because he is not quite so insufferably obnoxious as usual. "It's not your fault. It's not your fault. It's not your fault. It's not your fault. It's not your fault." This turkey is most assuredly SOMEBODY'S fault.

A fairly simple story of a gifted individual who prefers a low brow existence in the slums of Boston. Williams and Skarsgard make excellent showings as a pair of competing mentor figures. Great cinematography from Gus van Sant who builds from a somewhat grimy and hopeless atmosphere to one of genuine optimism.

Powerful turns all around deliver scene after scene of raw and potent dialogue, seen most notably in Will and Sean's widely varied but always intense emotional moments in therapy, but also in each of their secondary relationships with Skylar and Gerald, respectively. Mixed into the moving character studies that arise is thought-provoking discourse on dealing with the past, fulfilling potential, and finding purpose. This rich script is iced nicely with a beautiful acoustic soundtrack.

Good Will Hunting is a touching and inspirational piece of filmmaking about chances and opportunities. At the forefront of the success of this film is exceptional writing and powerhouse performances all round. I can't recall many other films quite like this where I invested myself in the characters so much. Matt Damon gives his finest performance and Ben Affleck & Stellan Skarsgård are strong also. But the great Robin Williams is simply sensational here and I was truly moved by his performance.

I'm late to the party, watching it 17 years later for the first time, and I don't think it holds up to its universal (sans Conservatives') praise. Despite my very liberal leanings, the monologues are very heavy-handed and it's hard to believe someone talking like that. Although I suppose it's just as hard to believe a self-made orphan genius as well. The inspiring message is honed in by the end though, and Williams is great.

Character is hammered down before anything else in this surprisingly polished screenplay. Everybody here has something to sink their teeth into, and of course with a cast like this they all do it exceedingly well, particularly Damon and Williams. That's why, despite the screenplay following a fairly standard structure most audiences recognize off the bat, it won Damon and Affleck an Oscar. It's not so much about structure here as it is character, and they're all fantastically realized.

A cliched story done in a totally non-cliched way -- that's the way cliched stories should be told. UPDATE: A little too unbelievable at times, as it forces its story points (the other psychologists gave up on him real quick), but there's still some extraordinary power in some of these scenes. "You did nothing wrong" "I know."

I can see how this movie could be simply labelled off as "solid but nothing special" due to the execution of its rather basic feel good story. Then again I found the screenplay and acting both excellent and a few scenes still stick out in my mind every now and then. If a movie lingers with you long after its over then I'd say it's a pretty damn good movie.

Everything about this movie oozes excellence. Script, dialogue, story, acting and includes sections of humor and romance. Wonderful.

There's the quiet, warm-hearted moments that really tug at the heartstrings; there's the outstanding career-best Damon role; and there's the beautiful, perfectly-judged payoff.

Very good drama with some good performances from Damon, Driver, and especially Williams. Kind of missed Van Sant's techniques from other films, but I still think he did a good job.

The writing, direction, and performances are so great that its sappiness is a strength rather than a weakness. Also, I could be wrong, but I think this is the only movie I like with a pun title?

Enjoyable movie. Having been around a bunch of geniuses, I couldn't quite believe Matt Damon in that role.

Live life, regret nothing. There are some lessons anyone should learn. Presented with a story that could have been ours.

Truly great, it's hard to believe that this was written by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. Robin Williams is simply superb.

I was due for a rewatch on this one. I upgraded the rating, as I don't see any flaws. Beautiful film, compelling original screenplay (Kudos to Ben Affleck and Matt Damon) and maybe Robin Williams' best performance.
