Because my favourite movie is The Godfather, do you still think I have a bad taste? I don`t like it because, Tony Montana prefers to solve things with violence than his brain like Vito or Michael, of course we are talking about differents movies, and I did not like the ending when Montana dies. I would rather him to kill or his enemies, especially the one living in Bolivia.

I like Scarface for the reasons that you dislike it, Don Pappo Nepolitano. (The last scene of) Scarface was not like many other generic movies.

I thought Scarface was a great film. Though it is overrated.

overrated it maybe...but its still a movie that i can sit down and enjoy. its not the godfather, and it was never meant to be the godfather, so comparisons are not appropriate. but i also wonºt say he has bad taste because he doesnºt like the movie...come on guys, lets let the guy have his opinion...but voice it when you start a thread.

Scarface is a very entertaining and enjoyable movie. Al Pacino does a fantastic job as Tony Montana. While it is not a top of the line classic, it is a cult classic within it's own rite. It does have a large following. By no means does it compare to a Godfather type movie, but it does carry itself well. The Godfather movie is a deep movie with a main plot, and multiple sub-plots with almost every character. Scarface on the other hand is more of an action type movie with a general plot. It happens to be one of my favorite movies. Not a movie where, like the Godfatehr, you can watch it a hundred times and always pick up something new or different. But definitely a movie that you can watch over and over again and again and just sit back and enjoy it everytime.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions about movies, and it is not fair to accuse someone of not having any taste, etc., because they don't enjoy a movie the same way that you do.

And das it mang! Chu dunt lye Tony Muntana mang, den das chu problem mang. Den jus don't wash him, Ok? Ok. wink

I love this movie.
I think Al Pacino was a better actor in Scarface than in the GF movies.
Why didn`t he earned an oscor for his role as Tony Montana?

I feel Scarface is perhaps one of the most over-rated films of all-time. While it is a great film to watch, and a must-see for any Pacino fan, it is immensly over-rated. I feel that Oliver Stone speant too much time concentrating as making it as differant as he could in comparison to The Howard Hawkes 1932 version that he completely neglected any substance or moral. The 32' version--which took place in a prhobition-era Chicago, for anyone unfamiliar--had a bit more to it. While today it would fail to come through, for its time it had much more of a message than the DePalma 1983 verion; although, I find this to be true of most of the gangster films of the 30s and 40s. The only thing that brings this script to life is a combination of great visuals and quite the performance from Al Pacino.

But the one thing that really bothers me about it is the lack of substance. Although the great lot of the characters depicted in gangster films come to a similar fate, in some cases repeatitively, I feel that Tony Montana's final punishment isn't represented as charismatically or as originally as say, Henry Hill of Goodfellas. The final shootout is indeed very fun and entertaining to watch (I enjoyed it on the level of cheap-thrills), it is pure asthetic's. It give little dramatic-ease or climax to the story, if any.


"Somebody told me when the bomb hits, everybody in a two mile radius will be instantly sublimated, but if you lay face down on the ground for some time, avoiding the residual ripples of heat, you might survive, permanently fucked up and twisted like you're always underwater refracted. But if you do go gas, there's nothing you can do if the air that was once you is mingled and mashed with the kicked up molecules of the enemy's former body. Big-kid-tested, motherf--ker approved."

Scareface is a great movie and Al Pacino's acting in it is mind blowing......He really turned it on to play that role....wow think how hard it would be to talk like that throughout an entire movie.. for months....but on the other hand it definitly doesn't compare to the GF triology but it is up there in the best movies of all time......It is a great film....It's jsut missing some of the things that would have made it a GREAT GREAT film like GF I II and yeah I and II....(III)

I'm not surprised if some people don't like it. People have said it before, we all have different tastes.

There seems to be a new "Scarface is overrated" thread every week! There should be more "Madagascar is overrated" threads

You were right about one thing. I have been watching. Couldn't help myself. Watching, waiting, holding my breath. But I'm no puppeteer Kevin, I don't make things happen. Doesn't work like that. Free will, it's like butterfly wings, one touch and it never gets off the ground. I only set the stage. You pull your own strings.

Scarface was an Ok movie. nothing near the godfather. what made the movie good was al's performance. but there was no realism in the movie. it was like video game.

Great movie but not Al Pacino's best work he was way better in the godfather than he was in that movie I didn't think his accent was very good lol maybe it was just me but I thought Mike was his best character Tony would have to be his worst.

Well you are certainly entitled to your opinion, and I respect it. But I strongly disagree with that.

It's one of my all time favorite films Al Pacino did a fantastic job as Tony Montana. The ending is excellent
