Perfect film destroyed by Al PACINO.


i THINK It's time to face it, these dough faced neurotics that Hollywood was so obsessed with in the 70's and 80's just weren't talented.

LetThemEatCake, Find something else to watch then.

Did he do a perfect Cuban accent? No. But do you really think this movie would be nearly as memorable as it is without Al Pacino?

Manny, look at the pelican fly!

I actually take it back, the film has the modern day shit cinematic language so it isn't memorable to be by any means.

reply

Not by you, anyway.

I lived in South Fl as well, I encountered a few cubans that had similar accents. Perhaps not as exaggerated but similar.

Good point.

Al Pacino was in The Godfather and The Godfather II. He nailed that role, was chilling in it and had more brains in that. Scarface is a B movie with some over the top action. Pacino could play a badass with balls and his word, but not a Cuban who can outgun an army or get past the IRS. I drooled over Michelle.

I always tell the truth. Even when I lie.

Boy, you really like to troll, don't you? I've seen you on various message boards here by now and all you do is hate on any recent popular things without ever voicing valid criticism of any kind. Hell, you don't even just trash modern things now. You even resort to dissing acting legends like Pacino just for the sake of attention. The only thing I've noticed you ever said you like is Madonna. I wonder are you gonna start ripping into her too once it's cool to like her again after she dies.

reply

Absolutely not, Madonna is the real thing, probably the greatest performing artist of all time, nothing can make me hate her, not even her current pitiful state.
