Boring....Over-rated!!

Rating: 1/10 (1 July 1999)

I fail to understand why so many people consider this to be such a good movie. I was bored stiff with it from the very start. Martin Scorsese should send me a check to cover the time I wasted watching it (okay, he can deduct about 15 minutes because I fell asleep toward the end, just couldn't stay awake). A more accurate name for it would be "Raging Bull-S***"
I am not really sure what Scorsese was trying to say with this picture, but if he wanted me to feel that Jake La Motta was an interesting or worthwhile human being, he failed dismally. About all I got was that La Motta was a complete waste of oxygen. If that was his point, okay, but I think I could have conveyed that in about 15 min and then gone on with my life.
The truly sad part about this movie is how much talent (DeNiro, Pesci, and Scorsese himself) was wasted to create it.
