Pre-film views : Once upon a time in America.

[Kristoph]

Been convinced to watch this tonight, don't know what to expect really...

Any opinions on the film?

I've always found it to be a bit long, but it is something of a masterpiece.

 

[Monkey Puzzle]

Overrated imo, but still a good film and worth watching.

I've had this in my collection for ages, but I never bothered to watch it coz it's almost 4 hours long and I can't bring myself to sit down and watch a film for that long.

How good is it exactly?

This is a great Sergio Leone film. It is very long but once you get involved then it just goes by quickly. It has a very good cast and if you like gangster movies then this is the one for you.

Awesome film I have watched many times over the years. A Complete story from start to finish, Definitely an Epic movie. Just thinking about it i can hear those pipes

It's long but worth a watch. Not in the league of Godfather 1 & 2 though.

 

[Converge]

I can't stand that film, don't like the characters at all. Really disappointed as i heard as people have said above, that it's a masterpiece. Other Sergio Leone films are so much better...

Watched about half of it. Unfortunately I seem to keep catching it on film4 starting at 11pm. Makes it just a bit too late for me. Will buy soon though as what I did see was very good.

Great film imo. Doesn't seem that long once you get absorbed.

Good film overall, I wouldn't watch it again though, way too long. The DVD has two discs.

Great film, is very long and you need to watch it all in one go to be properly engrossed, not a repeater due to the length but certainly needs a watch.
