its okay

Rating: Null/10 (22 May 2003)

I didn't get why this movie was rated one of the greatest movies of all time. I am a new lover of the cinema and am trying to watch the classics and have started crossing these off my list as movies to see. I realize that this movie does not have the bells and whistles that most modern movies do, but this movie really wasn't that entertaining. Deniro's change from super buff boxer to fat, has-been boxer was amazing. His body must have been going crazy, I can definently respect that. It was interesting seeing what boxing was like back then but,why would I want to see a boxer I never heard of,beat up his wife and brother for two hours? If someone can explain it to me please do. Not a very good movie.
