American Gangster
« on: October 24, 2007, 03:50:53 PM »
The movies ok, but it loses its spark like half way through the movie. the previews hype up the movie way too much, not enuff action or story in the movie seems like they scrunch the whole movie too much. too much time has passed not enuff explained. probaly would of have been better if there was lil side scenes of action or a plot or sumthing.


and the whole movie i about denzel. the only relevant character is that guy from OZ and that guy from children of men which both work for him and r relatives.

i was suprised bout the limited role that the rapper/actors got. i dont remember common gettin a line. but TI wow i was crackin up, cept the fact he was dope'd out all the the time, his character was seriously a chump wit a minor part in the movie.

it was alright but got less than waht i expected cuz shit DENZELS on it AND RUSSEL

The only problem I've been hearing about is that it's too long and has a lot of useless views inside Frank's family.  Beside that, it's being considered a really good movie.

just finished it & LOVED IT
film of the year
not enough action, but this type of movie is to tell a story, not just be a "shoot em up bang bang" film
common had a few lines
T.i did a good job with his part...i really liked how his character played out

^^ Exactly. As far as I could tell from reading online reviews, people are devided in 2 categories:

a) 1/2 half says its great

b) 1/2 half says it's too long and not enought action

But like it was said, look at all 3 Godfathers. There's was like 30 minutes of action combined.

Just finished watching it. I thought it was a good movie. If you like gangster films then you will for sure like this one. It gets a little slow towards the end, but I don't think it fucks the movie up.

Of course if you're expecting to see mufuckas jumpin out of planes, shooting each other, then you won't like this movie.
