Truly a great movie

Rating: Null/10 (19 January 2004)

Well, this review is probably very very late but I thought to my self why not. This movie is great I know, I'll be stupid to say anything else. The actors, and I mean all of them did their job in a tremendous way, they were all great, the directing, the story and the script are all a state of the art. But I was surprised to see that some people think that this movie is better in all ways than the Godfather series, how can anyone say that, The Godfather is the godfather of all gangsters movies, it's like a manual you read before making a gangster movie in order to make the movie you are making a hit movie. I watched Goodfellas years before I watched The Godfather series but when I watched The Godfather part one, I was amazed by how well this movie was made. I mean for anyone who thinks that Goodfellas is better than The Godfather, if you watch the two movies carefully, you'll find a scene in The Godfather part one when James Cann(Sonny) gets a call from his sister Talia Shire(Connie) and finds out that her husband hit her badly again, so he goes to her but he get whacked in the way over, the same scene repeats itself in Goddfellas when Lorraine Bracco (Karen) calls Ray Liotta(Henry) and the same thing happens again except that this time Ray doesn't get whacked in his way over to beat the sh*t out of Karen's neighbor friend. It is wrong comparing any movie with the Godfather and vice versa but still it is good that Martin Scorsese was able to make a movie that was and still a movie that I like to watch from time to time and keep in mind that no one is able to make movies like this anymore, not even Martin Scorsese himself.
