Wordiezett So much average
Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
mostafakhademi-83413 I believe that this movie has a complicated story and everyone should watch it 2 times to understand it.
bfczcipe Look I sat through four hours of this just because I started it and frankly did not have anything else to watch, but this film surely proves that the reviewers on this website are dolts.One can appreciate the corrupt pig, the sexy girl and the doggy sex, but beyond that there is so little to watch. I don't know if a subplot of Jews was added so the director can get funding in Hollywood, but the characters were so boring and the film so slow moving it really made me wonder.A mafioso grows up and out of New York and then reappears having lived n the area in hiding.
said-buet10 This movie is huge. I've seen the massive 229 min cut. And surprisingly it did not feel that boring! The pace was slow but for this story it was absolutely necessary. Otherwise the story wouldn't fell the way it felt. I was tired but also satisfied when this ended.The acting was fitting. The child actors did an amazing job. In some cases I think even better than their adult counterparts.One might get confused at the way this movie is shown. The constant switching between present time and the past might seem weird but its a massive buildup for the last segment. Once a person sees it all, he/she would understand why it was shown that way and would for sure appreciate the making.The long shots and the enthralling musical score that shows and makes sure channels all the emotions into the viewers was expected from Sergio Leone. I always enjoyed his work and this didn't underperformed at all. It's sad that this was his last movie.This was an epic tale and one of the best crime dramas I've seen so far. Too bad that it was a commercial mess due to a trimmed version being released in theater. I would recommend the whole 229 min version to anyone anytime.
Dehka3 Leone's Once Upon a Time in America, has a five-star cast in Robert De Nero, James Woods, Elizabeth Mc Govern, Treat Williams, Tuesday Weld, William Forsyth, James Hayden, & Richard Bright, create simply another world.I whole-heartily agree, that cutting this masterpiece is a CRIME, and that cutting this masterpiece is like having a jigsaw puzzle, with only half of the pieces.This film evokes all emotions, making you laugh, cry, feel simply astounded, and wanting this film not to end.I simply urge people, to go and see this film, be patient, stock-up on goodies, and prepare to be enriched by this masterpiece.If you don't see this film you are missing out on one of the 20th Centuary's Masterpieces of Cinema. 10/10Ican say.. The Great Movie Ever
