FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Logan Dodd There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

jamie-27252 Back in 1990, I would of rated this 20 stars if an option. I was much younger. Today I would say the acting and camera work is excellent, 10 out of 10. i.e. the long one take camera shot in the restaurant in the beginning. However, watching the movie now, the script and the glorification of the mobsters is silly and juvenile at best.

filmmaster-25565 One of my favorite movies of all time. Has everything that a near perfect film should contain, deceit, drama, good storytelling and cinematography.

rodriguezcrystal-02954 This movie is absolutely amazing! It very well portrayed the life of a mobster/gangster and how things are good and going your way and how they will almost always be taken away when you're doing things wrong. Give it a watch and a good rate !

Pjtaylor-96-138044 While an argument could be made that 'Goodfellas (1990)' perhaps comes dangerously close to glamourising the gangster lifestyle it portrays, this sprawling and relentless picture depicts three-decades of mob life through the eyes of a real-life ex-mafioso who entered into the witness protection program in the early 1980s and ultimately manages to maintain an impartial stance by simply portraying all the events the way they are remembered to have occurred. Our protagonist also never actually kills anyone and his desperate, drug-fuelled downfall is just as detailed as his seduced start. Scorsese directs the piece with a real ferocious verve and the improvised dialogue lends a genuinely unpredictable edge to most sequences, leading to an almost fly-on-the-wall feel even though the techniques used are inherently cinematic. When the violence explodes onto the screen, it is just as shocking as you'd expect it to be. The only downside of all this is that the already long film feels even longer due to the fast-pace and sheer amount of scenes - a minor complaint since it's all so entertaining. 8/10
