why i hate this movie


reasons why i hate goodfellas
1) the narration is way too much, i can see whats happening on screen, i dont need you to keep reminding me

3)the doo wop soundtrack, it made the movie look sugary sweet, the scene when billy batts gets whacked is totally ruined by the soppy music whats wrong with some heavy metal or rock and roll? something moody and dark

3) the cast, the same old mafiosa actors, frank vincent, pesci and de niro
pesci and deniro previously worked together in once upon a time and raging bull, enough is enough,
whats wrong with danny devito? bobby cannavale? bruno kirkby? chuck zito? Armand assante? Al sapienza?

no they had to cast the same old actors
they might as well have cast vincent pastore, steve schrippa and burt young

The first time I saw Goodfellas, I loved it. I was absorbed into the story and setting and the film was just exhilarating. I saw it for the second time, and unlike some other movies I didn't enjoy my it like I did the first. What's happening on screen was less fascinating. The narration felt longer and boring, which for unknown reasons brought me out of the movie experience.

Note: I don't hate this (can't imagine someone hating a movie when it's so far from rubbish films). This still gets a solid 9 from me, I simply don't love it a lot like my other 9-rated films.

You are a dick. The narration is Henry looking back over his life, okay? As to the songs, they reflect the eras the film takes place in. And as to the cast, what is wrong with them? They fit the story.

I think you are a dick, a pussy, and a retard.

The movie is very easy to watch, but I'm always annoyed by how Hollywood lauds Scorsese for portraying the assholes with rosy-tinted glasses.

reply

I agree and have to concede that Scorsese highlighted the cold reality of that life far more effectively than the mythos of Coppola’s Godfather.

That's some world class BS right there. I congratulate you on your effort to sound like a complete idiot just to watch other people point out how idiotic you sound! Nice work.

That's just your opinion bro....

Now go get your f**king shine box!

I'd hate to see what the OP's opinion of Casino is.
