Overrated? No. Yeah, there are a lot of stupid kids and rappers that wear Tony Montana shirts. But those sames ones also wear stuff from The Godfather. Is that overrated too?
I share this view, precisely. I'm old enough to have seen it when it came out, despite the fact that practically all the critics had panned it and it was surrounded by negative controversy. And it blew me away. The most intense movie I watched in the 80s. That is my defining perspective on the movie. Gangstas, marketing hype, cultists and revisionists notwithstanding.
