Overrated cartoon of a film.Godfather blatantly superior in every aspect

Rating: Null/10 (30 January 2003)

Now, for a fact Goodfellas is NOT the best gangster film ever. All three Godfathers and Once Upon A Time In America are so blatantly superior. Goodfellas is all style over substance and cartoon violence. Do you ever like or feel for the characters in the film? No, whereas in the Godfather you know each of the characters and their emotions. Goodfellas simply tries too hard to be hip and cool, but to little avail. The voice overs are cliched and the plot very thin. The characters are so one dimensional and cold. This film is not even in the same universe as the immense Godfather films. That is why they are rated 1 and 3 while Goodfellas is number 27. Goodfellas = as cold as ice Godfather = hot as hell. FACT. End of discussion.
