City of god is honestly alongside goodfellas the best film of all time. A stone cold classic.

City of god is better than any american film of the last 15 years. It's top 5 oat
City of God is a movie about violence for no other reason than a kid was a power-hungry sadistic killer.
It's not terribly well-acted.
It's not super well-written. It certainly didn't need to be 2 hours and 10 minutes long.
It's a gritty movie. I think it's good.
Let me repeat that. I think it's good.
But amazing?
One of the best movies of the last 15 years?
I don't see it.
It's not even as good as A Prophet (2009), much less the best movie of the last 15 years.
City of God isn't even as good as Elite Squad 1 & 2...which are two other Brazilian movies that came out since.

And that's fair, I never shyt on people for not liking the "popular" choice, because sometimes popularity makes it hard to be objective.
that being said.
"City of God is a movie about violence for no other reason than a kid was a power-hungry sadistic killer"
You know damn well that's too simple an assessment of this film.
And as for not terribly well acted....I'm a just give you the side eye on that shyt fam.

everyone is entitled to their opinion but that is just horseshyt breh.
This is the equivalent of saying Magic Johnson is just an okay basketball player.
I don't think anyone can convince me that City of God was better than A Prophet, or Carlos: a miniseries, or Mesrine, or The Baader Meinhof Complex, or Che, or City of Life and Death......
There are literally dozens of movies in the last 15 years I could name that were better.
City of God is just this generation's "Scarface"...where people will take a good movie and give it legendary status because of its cult following.
It's all opinions, I get that.
But I don't buy it.
