I did not like once upon a time in America. All it was to me was a series of scenes not a free flowing story.
Sounds to me that you may have watched the shorter edited version.....which is extremely confusing.
The uncut version is the one that you should watch. Flows a lot better and makes much more sense.
Personally one of my favorite mob movies.
Yeah, are you sure you didn't watch the American released 2 hour one? I heard that was terrible and convoluted and left a bad taste about the movie in many people's mouths. The full version is nearly 4 hours and is the quintessential crime epic in my opinion. The Godfather is a masterpiece and an utterly stunning movie, but I feel Once Upon a Time has a much larger scope and it just feels greater than The Godfather, yet I probably still like The Godfather better.
