I watched it after Goodfellas and was disappointed, I guess it's not universal. But maybe it was because I had seen Casino before. If I was watching Casino for the first time after watching Goodfellas maybe I would've liked it more (though I do still like the film quite a bit). While Casino has some great moments and performances, I felt it was over-long for no justifiable reason other than for showing the ENTIRE life of Robert DeNiro's character. Goodfellas seemed to naturally unfold and I didn't even notice it being too long. The entire film had my attention. That's it.
: : it just disappoints you
: : : yeah so I just watched that movie. Good stuff. Gotta love scorsese.
: i totally liked goodfellas more but there's no way i'd call this 'disappointing.' They were both great movies.
