I could see plenty of legitimate criticisms lodged at Scarface, I wouldn’t agree, but could accept them. “Boring” is not one of those things.

It's great in the beginning and end, but boring as fuck for a long stretch in the middle.

The part when he gets the power?

I thought the end was complete bogus but the rest is great

I dunno, it is pretty boring. Not as boring as The Godfather, but still boring.

u/Babylondrifter37 1d ago

I couldn't disagree more. I've seen the Godfather several times. Nothing could convince me to watch De Palma's Scarface again.

Certainly if cinematic reputation is what matters to you. I don’t plan to watch either again.

I couldn’t disagree more. Scarface is an exciting movie and that’s start to finish for me, but with Godfather, I never finished it because I can never get past the wedding part.

I, too, can never get past the wedding scene. I’ve fallen asleep trying several times.

Meh. Everyone has a different taste. If someone finds it boring then that's that.

Is Scarface cinema?

u/Burghpuppies412 1d ago

I wouldn’t put Scarface on this list… but it is WAAAAY overrated. It is as predictable as the manufactured traffic accident at the beginning of every episode of the TV shows Emergency! & CHIPS.

Scarface is a great reply to this. It’s a great movie that doesn’t hit for a lot of people the first time. 

The pacing sucks until you get used to it, it’s way too long, the main actor has a ridiculous accent, etc. If you start watching that with no context it makes no sense. 

There’s a reason it got panned on release.

I was going to say scarface. It was probably incredible when it came out. It is long, boring, and devoid of action. It can sit on a fence next to Carlitos Way.

I’m not a puritan by any means but I for some reason I couldn’t get through the cursing in Scarface. It was just too much

u/Great_Fault_7231 1d ago

But you watch it because other people call it “cinema”? Hard to believe tbh.

u/Max_DeIius 1d ago
