Truly awful. A complete Let down.

Rating: 2/10 (27 April 2008)

Trust this to be a classic. You must be having a laugh. It doesn't step anywhere near that mark. Fistly Robert De Niro, what the hell went wrong their. Whne i watched it all his dialogue was mumbled and very, very hard to understand. I will admit, okay some of his acting talents were okay emotionally. The supporting actor Joe Pesci also like Robert De Niro's acting-some good but most bad. And i know that the film was released in black and white because of the mood and atmosphere of the film, but it lingers far too long. Finally the directing was class c from Martin Scorsese and most probably his worst film. The boxing scenes are meant to be in your face-bold, long, bloody and violent. Instead most of them are at least 30 seconds to a minute long, its pathetic. Even the final championship fight was only something like 30 seconds. It really does put a shame around Raging Bull and especially De Niro.
Too right, Rocky's better than Raging Bull......... "Go the Distance" Well at least Rocky tried and greatly succeeded, whereas in my opinion Raging Bull is just a forgettable mess of cinema.
