Just another one from Scorsese

Rating: 6/10 (20 May 2007)

What's so special about this movie?! Looks like Hollywood is concentrated on entertainment only so when something "serious" comes out, it is called art. Oh come on! This movie is not a bad one, but it is also far away from being called a masterpiece. At the moment it is on #33 on top 250 of the best films of all times. Just one question for Mr. Scorsese: how many times will you shoot the same movie again and again? I mean, this one is the same as Casino, which was the same as Goodfellas... OK, the stories were a bit different, but they all look the same (the structure, the music, the acting). Hollywood has definitely lost the magic, all the movies are done the same way - you know what to expect. Just like you know what you'll get when you order a Big Mac. Again - this movie is not a bad one, but I don't like too much. It will be forgotten in few years.
