Goodfellas

Goodfellas is awesome, it exudes life experience and it is very likely one Martin Scorsese’s best film. Robert De Niro is excellent and Joe Pesci is truly unforgettable and deservedly received an Oscar. A masterpiece of world cinematography. (2004-03-09)

If Leone hadn't made Once Upon a Time in America and Coppola had never made The Godfather, this would definitely be the best gangster movie of all time. It is “only” the third best. I don’t like the ending much. I should be, well, different. (2007-09-19)

A decent gangster film, but not as entertaining and action-packed as Carlito's Way. I missed a better cast here, except Robert de Niro, who was not even the main character. Ray Liotta is a B-movie actor, so I shake my head in confusion at the director's choice of the main character, but I’ve seen worse. There is not much action, the film is suitable for one viewing only, also because of the overblown running time, but fortunately I was not bored. The story is interesting, but unfortunately it didn’t pull me in. Martin Scorsese's direction, however, is perfectly fine.75% (2015-01-13)

A perfect portrait of the brutality and cruelty of people who assume the role of demigods who decide the life and death of others. De Niro, with his fluffy shoulders and swaggering gait, is flawless. Ray Liotta in the only role he can be proud of. Joe Pesci would successfully reprise the role of the murderous brute a few years later in Casino. A mafia saga that would be a big mistake not to watch. (2003-04-13)

I simply don't remember "The Godfather", I can't remember everything, even though I have seen this legendary movie as well. However, I am quite curious if it is really that brilliant because it has a huge competition in "The Sopranos". Martin Scorsese showcases his knowledge of the Italian-American environment and once again shows us how capable he is of capturing human stories, especially the destruction of their lives. Robert De Niro takes a step back this time to allow Joe Pesci and Ray Liotta to stand out much more, especially for Liotta, it is definitely a life-changing role. (2013-11-05)
