I don't know about Carlito's Way but to me Casino, Goodfellas, Donnie Brasco and A Bronx Tale are all better than Scarface. And I think Scarface is a great movie too.
Couldn't make it past 30 minutes wit the way Johnny Depp portrayed Brasco
the real Donnie Brasco was a cool motherfukker :yeshrug:

While Scarface had more character development, Carlito's Way has more heart. He was a gangster trying to get out, in Scarface he's a small time hustler trying to stay in for good. Carlito is more endearing, he has a girl who loves him, people who respect him, but his mercy made him soft , at least soft enough to not kill Benny. In Scarface he just goes out of control and becomes/stays a major douche. Charlie is more likeable, the movie, that much more dreary and filled with more suspense. You feel bad for Carlito, you don't ever feel bad for Tony, you just know he's gonna go out guns blazing.

fukk that, Carlitos Way 2: Rise to Power (With Diddy :lolbron:) or Scarface: The World Is Yours video game, where Tony came back to life?

He didn't come back to life. He killed the assassin with the shotgun before he got him.

As far as the flicks go, Carlitos Way is a superior film to Scarface. I can watch it every time it comes on. I just can't do that with Scarface. I think it's ok at best.

:gucci: nikka what

Gotta be. Only impressionable, irresponsible teenagers think what Tony did in that movie was dope. This dude came from nothing, got in the drug game, went against everything he was taught, went against the people who taught him left from right, killed his right hand man because of a sister complex, and why? Because fukk YOU MANG

You see where all that got him but people love idolizing him...who the fukk would want to be this raving lunatic?

Besides, take away Pacino's performance and Moroder's score and you're not working with a whole lot.


Wasnt there like 10 threads on this already?
:what:

Anyway...

Carlito>>>>> just off the court room scene alone.

My younger brother actually did like a rendition of that shyt one time he was in court.

"And it didnt take no 30 years like your honor thought, but only five!!! :umad:"

Both classics. Carlito just had more depth. Also dropped more jewels in my opinion, which gives it more entertaining value.

Scarface is one of the most overrated movies I’ve ever seen. Hasn’t aged well and has the depth of a gnat.


Carlito’s Way is way better and it’s not like that movie was an amazing spectacle either.

I remember around the time we all first watched Carlitos Way on DVD or VHS, early 2000's, my friend went to take a shower, and came out, dressed, and was doing the Carlito courtroom impression:

I am reinvigorated, re assimilated, RE HABILITATED

That shyt still kills me.
