You Can't Seriously Like This Movie

I'm sure I'll get a lot of people telling me my opinion's wrong, simply because I dislike a movie they apparently adore. In my personal opinion, I've never seen what all the fuss is about as to me, Scarface is the most boring, pointless and drawn out travesty I've ever had the misfortune of watching.

The story is based around Cuban (at least I think he's Cuban, it was so boring I drifted in and out) immigrant named Tony Montana. He comes into America and for some reason wants to be a successful drug dealer, so this leads to a man's arm being cut off by a chainsaw for some reason. Then there's a couple of hours of boring dialogue with the odd gunshot here and there, then Tony says "Say hello to my little friend" and kills a load of people. The End.

I am honestly the type of person who will watch a film and look for the good points, but I simply couldn't see any for this film. It was boring, drawn out and just plain ridiculous. A lot of the people I know personally who adore this film aren't very, let's say quick witted so I can only imagine that in order for them to watch this all the way through, they had to skip to the gory or violent parts.

Boring film that I would advise people to stay away from. August 23, 2008

GREAT

Directed by Brian De Palma and written by Oliver Stone, "Scarface" is a movie that will not be forgotten. A Cuban refugee named Tony Montana (Pacino) comes to America for the American Dream. Montana then becomes the "king" in the drug world as he ruthlessly runs his empire of crime in Miami, Florida. This gangster movie is very violent, and some scenes are unpleasant to watch. This movie has around 180+ F-words and is almost three hours long. This movie is entertaining and you will never get bored. You cheer for the Drug-lord, and in some scenes you find out that Montana isn't as evil as some other Crime Lords. This is a masterpiece and i recommend that you see this. You will not be disappointed. August 20, 2008

excellent movie

Thank you so much for sending the DVD as quickly as you did.
We tried to buy the DVD locally and no one carried it. We didn't expect it to arrive so quickly.
We'll use your service again.
Thanks

Overrated and cheesy

After his renowned roles in the Godfather movies and Serpico, I can't believe Al Pacino agreed to star in this truly sub-par melodrama. I finally got around to watching the entirety of this "influential" "masterpiece" and was surprised at how bad it really was. That's not to say it's unwatchable. It's not boring and Al Pacino is entertaining as he overacts the hell out of a one-dimensional role. But it's no cinematic masterpiece either. All it is is mental cotton candy. In fact, this is basically a clone of those low quality Mexican gangster movies from the 70s that you see on Telemundo when you're flipping channels: posturing Latino criminals who shoot and kill, shoot and kill. This is supposed to be a classic? It should tell you something about its shallowness that its biggest fans remain 13 year old boys and crotch-grabbing hip-hop morons. If you don't feel like thinking and just want to indulge in some vicarious, over-the-top violence, then you'll enjoy Scarface, because that's all this movie offers. But please spare me the embarrassing accolades about it being anything more than a poorly-made and silly generic shoot-em-up. July 15, 2008
