Post by: Javier on July 06, 2003, 08:34:56 AM

because its a movie about crime an pacinos performace was one of the most memorable ever.  its bloody as hell.  when it comes to movies not every1 is looking for movies that follow all the rules of how a movie should be an shit an best screen plays.  sometimes people jus like to be entertained an thats what scarface does.

Yer man I feel ya on that comment.

It was on tv a while back and I taped it because eveyone had told me that it was awesome, after watching it I thought it was a good film that dragged on for far to long and it was so predictable.  A low life becomes a rich and successful crime mobster.  I was like hmmmm wasn't what I expected and it wasn't all that good.

No doubt Pacino's acting was on point but after all the hype I had heard about this film I was v.dissapointed and that tape still sits on my bedroom shelf unwatched since I recorded it.

deflate your ego javi, just cause you dont like it and these people do, doesnt mean their shallow-minded, maybe you just see it differently, me myself, i see it as a classic.

Yep yep yep...

..of course its better if you see the film in its own rights and dont go expecting anything first...most movies are like this tho it pays to just watch it for the exxperience its trying to give you...
...i first saw this film when it came out before any write-ups were read and it blew me away...still does.

Pacino is the only actor that does a good job.  

You need to watch that movie again.

Steven Bauer as Manolo and Schiffer are both excellent.  And Hector the Toad is class.  ("Now thee leg ah?")

It's a twisted depiction of the American Dream, and one of the best rags to riches stories ever made.

what the fuck are you trying to say here? Go watch Reservoir Dogs and tell me which movie is better..Reservoir Dogs or Scarface

oh yea and check the original Scarface with Paul Muni....that movie is basically the same but shorter and none of it is boring

in reservoir dogs they rob a bank...but the characters describe it so well that u see the robbery but if u look back at the movie...u never see the robbery.  The dailouge is very entertaining.....and ur telling me that u predicted the same exact ending?

Hmm how can you come like "the other scarface is said to be better" ....

...as in you havent seen it but want to use it to back your arguement up then...


...oh yea and check the original Scarface with Paul Muni....that movie is basically the same but shorter and none of it is boring ....


....doh!


lol only comment on what you know not what you have heard...makes life easier on yourself when you son yourself like you just did ;)

provide verbal feedback on what you didnt like...and in any good debate (not arguement) you havent to be willing to see the other side to refute it with your own reasoning.

I agree with you Javi. I made this same comment when I first joined wcc, and got absolutly flamed for it. It was in some thread called favorite gangster movie about 2 years ago.

But i have to bring to attention your first comment...

...which was only written to insight the "i thought it was good" or "i agree it sucked" line of speech because there was no thoughtfulness put into your statement...it was shallow so therefore peoples answers are bound to be shallow...

"on the real, why the fuck is this movie so liked? half of the movie is boring as fuck, Pacino is the only actor that does a good job.  The original scarface is much better. Im tired of people listing this movie is their favorites when its just fucken wack....ahhh so tell me whats so good about it? "


..your second comment you backtracked like a small child been caught embellishing the truth..an son yourself with the next comment...


"so u guys like this movie cuz Pacino is fucken "hardass" in this movie....thats like calling a CD a classic for one song.  The script it horrible, some lines are corny as fuck. The original scarface is said to be better  "



"oh yea and check the original Scarface with Paul Muni....that movie is basically the same but shorter and none of it is boring "


Ya see ;)

anyway im done playin...couldnt resist
