Not worth the 4 hours.

Rating: 4/10 (24 December 2001)

The high rating and accolades being thrown around here are so out of touch with reality I cant believe it. Of the Top 250 I have seen about half the movies and this one was the most overrated (on this website) movie on the list. How can you take a movie seriously that has Robert Deniro playing a guy named Noodles! Please. The plot is thin and boring to say the least. It tries to say alot but fails even though Leone gave himself 4 hours to do it. The score for this film was horrible. And James Woods. What was up with his character going 'crazy'? Too many holes in this one and unless Leone wanted to go into the soap opera business he shouldnt have bothered with this one. It wasnt all bad but as a complete work this movie rates below par. It gets a 4/10 for effort.
