Rater #2
7/10. The problem with classic movies is that I pretty much HAVE to like
them or be disregarded as anyone serious. And, as in the case of most
classic movies I see, I like them a lot, but I don't love them, as is
the case in GoodFellas. Although it is a very intersting look at what
actually happens in the mafia world, it's very long, longer than it
needs to be. Some subplots could have been taken out, and what really
marred it for me was how much I didn't like the main character, Henry
Hill. Movies are supposed to have likeable characters, to help us
root for them, but the only character I even remotely liked was Joe
Pesci's Tommy (who should have even been nominated for Best
Supporting Actor). GoodFellas could have benifitted with tighter
editing, so the supremely interesting story could have been done
better, but it's still a very involved look at mob life.
Rated R.
Running time: 145 minutes
