    It is one of those movies that is so good it makes me jealous when other people haven't seen it because they get to see it for the first time.

    GREAT Will Hunting

    by neumn

    This movie was fantastic. Matt Damon does a fantastic job as the super smart guy with no real future in life and Robin Williams also does a great job as Damon?s psychiatrist. This was a well thought out powerful movie. I was surprised that Ben Affleck and Matt Damon himself wrote the screenplay. This movie should be seen by everyone, even if it does in fact have some scenes for mature audiences. But this is a great movie and I was very glad to see it.
