Horrible, overrated, movie.

Rating: 2/10 (18 December 2003)

This is probaly the most overrated movie I ever saw, and also one of the most pain-enduring, depressing, viewing experience of my life... This is truly the downfall of Sergio Leone. It has bad casting (except for De Niro, of course, the main actors are just not enough interesting to play that kind of characters-James Wood as the lead/villain? ughh!) a pace that feels like a corpse getting carried through a never ending parking, terribly unsignificant plot twists that goes nowhere, and above all, me and my friends had to ENDURE this catastrophe for something like 3 hours or more... and still at the end it felt like we've spent a whole day watching this load of crap.
This film a plain incoherent mishmash of a story that goes everwhere and nowhere at the same time. It was still worth seeing it, only to witness how can sometimes a major film project made with the best intentions can turn into a total nightmare.
