Can We Admit That Scarface Is The Most Over Hyped Movie Of All Time?

[R.O. Double]

Rappers hype this shyt up to be more than it was, when in reality this shyt was an average movie, with above average quotables.

I don't know anyone who has this movie in their top 10. Yet people wanna pretend that this shyt is a classic. Plus the length of the movie kills its rewatchability.

Classic. Tony Montana is GOAT character in movie. That movie has so many classic lines/scenes.

 

[Wiles]

Pacino covered in shoe polish talking like a Cuban mane

I still laugh that there were no actual latinos (I think maybe 1) in this movie. DePalma admitted he was so coked out of his mind when making this that it was nuts. I'm pretty sure the rest of the cast followed suit. It's a cult classic but really awful awful movie. Never held it in high regard like most rappers. More of a dark comedy to me b/c its so silly and over the top with violence but I understand how other feel about it.

I've said it. Not that it's the most overrated of all time cause it ain't but definitely said it's not a great movie even though it has a great performance in it. It's legacy and rep are way stronger than the actual product. It lingered in nothingness until hip hop revived it

 

[Nero Christ]

it's a good popcorn flick with a great over the top performance from Pacino

 

[Conz]

it's not a particularly well made movie and it's the hammiest performance in the history of cinema, imo. i don't even kinda like it.

It was a great film that didn't skip any part of the come up till death. From a camp to a mansion. Some people say it fell off in the second half but id rather it tell the story all the way than a bunch of action with no plot. I can see the argument though

Even as a kid I was like how he hit that u-turn and around dude body

It's a hard watch for me now but still a classic
