Scarface is the most overrated movie of all time

[Kyle C. Barker]

Lesson number 1...Don't underestimate the OTHER guy's greed

This town is like a great big p*ssy waiting to be fukked

First time that I saw scarface on was on network tv and for years I thought that line was

This town is like a great big chicken... Waiting to get plucked

Robert Loggia played Frank not Mel

And don't say you were talking about the scene

It's not the actual movie that makes it a classic it's Al performance that does it. He's got so many quotables that have been used for decades and will continue to be used in the future.

/Thread.

Hardly anybody watches Scarface for what the fukk went on in it the SECOND time around.
To this day, I still got to hit people with the "The fukk you think we/I am/are? Baggage Handlers?" whenever they try and stiff you on transactions of any sort. Like the Big Lebowski, it became a cult classic way after it's theatre run and got ran into the ground by everyone wanting to jump on the bandwagon....but that don't make it any less entertaining than it really is to most. I do agree though, It's overhyped and in a sense overrated.

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

audience wise anyway
Critics panned that shyt when it came out called it a snooze fest

Outside of the hip hop community I don't here too many people bragging about it

shyt has an 8.3 on IMDb which is known to be filled with CACs.

They have released it, rereleased it, remastered it, and thought about doing 2 remakes to it. You think they gonna spend that based on hip hop?

Nobody said its Macbeth. It's a good movie about drug hustling in Miami out the 80s. Cocaine cowboy type shyt that was going on in the time.

How exactly is it overrated when nobody has rated it as anything else besides that?

I feel you. It didn't blow my mind.

But it does have classic moments and by virtue of rap became a cult classic. So many of my fav bars referencing it helps

Had to turn away when Tony killed Manolo...

dikkhead, I was typing up a post to touch on this topic specifically. It is what a lot of people are overlooking. Their complaints are legitimate they are the same complaints shared by many well respected critics. What people need to understand is that Scarface has become a cult classic over the years, the characters and the idea of the film is what generated the fan base around it. And yes, hiphop played a big part in that.

edit: There are a ton of cult classics you can pick apart, it doesn't matter because they will still be cult classics. Best example is Fight Club, that film was absolutely overrated if you pick it apart but the characters, the idea, and the subliminals is what made a large amount of people obsessed with it, even critics.

I rewatched it because I have it on DVD and I don't get why I liked it so much at first. I guess the TV version cut a lot of the movie. In regards to FC.

He deserved it

Tony warned him many times

If the mother wasn't stalking Gina both manolo/gina wouldn't of died that night

No it isn't the most overrated movie of all time, that goes to The Notebook.
