The best Scorcese-almost too good.

Rating: Null/10 (6 July 1999)

Almost too good? I'll explain why. GoodFellas had a big impact on the movie fans and film industry. To the point where any picture you see with DeNiro,Pesci,or Liotta you look for GoodFellas in it. DeNiro can play anybody or any thing. Pesci can't! No matter how hard he tries to do something different. Jimmy Hollywood,With Honors-Yeah right! Don't work that way,Joe! It's a no-win situation! He does something different-he's unconvincing.He plays something similar to Tommy DeVito in GoodFellas-it will be obvious and no where near as good. It's almost like he used up all the good one-liners in GoodFellas. Liotta can try to to something different,but he'll always be remembered as Henry Hill. There were a lot of GoodFellas/Scorcese wannabes after GoodFellas was made. Like Quentin Tarantino(who I can't stand). GoodFellas was great! It's too bad that a lot of directors and screenwriters can't think of something original. Too many copycats after GoodFellas. That's why it was too good!
