Joe Pesci did the usual psychotic, awkward, and provocative guy who kills people whenever he wants. There’s something about De Niro smoking a cigarette and his walk with that New York accent that is absolutely perfect for these kind of movies. But there were not many favorites in this one.Ĭharacters: As they always were Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci were amazing. Sure, it had some pretty sick choices at parts, classics, you know. Music: The music also, did not live up to Goodfellas. he other lazy edits were just skipping frames, weird angles, etc. If you look closely at De Niro, right before it blows up, a dummy is switched in instead of De Niro, then the car blows up. In the opening scene when De Niro gets into the car and it blows up. One of the things I also realized was some very lazy edits that were very noticable. I expected something better, like Goodfellas. Sure, I was blown away when De Niro said what happened after the explosion in his car, but still, the very ending was Ehhhh for me. but still, I think that was just lazy writing. But it was like, “Is this gonna be like I’m being read a book?” The parts where it was too much kind of needed that since it was introducing the characters and the Tangiers hotel.

Mainly, the first 30 or 40 minutes of the film. I found the narration by De Niro and Pesci to be way too much at parts. Goodfellas is different, there’s just something about the storyline and Henry Hill we all love. Although it is a lot lke Goodfellas with the same actors, freeze frames, a De Niro stare, Mafia, etc, etc. Now lets get this over with, Casino was not better than Goodfellas.

Before seeing this, I know lots of people compare it to Goodfellas all the time and stuff, since it has Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, and Billy Batts (Frank Vincent) in it.
