Movies that you think suck, but everyone else likes
- Thread starter Latin Boss
- Start date
scarface is so dope to me because its so cheesy and over the top, carlitos way is great, but its way more serious movie than scarface and not fair to compare em imo. closer over the top gangster movie is king of new york, they have similar dark vibe, over the top violence, acting, fun movies to watch, tony montana and frank white are pretty close, both wanna take over the drug game without giving a fuck and they aren't that smart

When I was a kid, Boyz In the Hood was my favorite movie, then it was Menace II Society. THEN, I saw Scarface, blew my mind. Is the story likely to happen? No. Could it happen? Yes. Drug money gets serious money. Everything in that story could actually happen. Some of it is ridiculous, but it's like an ode to old gangster movies. If you look at other movies like New Jack City or In Too Deep, are the main bosses any less cheesy if you think about it? At the very least, it's just a story about a dude with nothing doing anything he can to get everything he wants and achieves that goal but pays the penalties of who he stepped on to get there. I thought it was great but when every rapper started swearing they were Tony Montana, that's what made it gay. If it never blew up in the late 90's and early 2000's like that, I think it would've held up better than it has. That tainted the movie and blew it out of proportion.
Carlito's way was legit though aka the JP Morgan of the smack business

LOL! I don't really know, Breh. I expected more I guess. My buddy & I were at the store the other day & he hasn't seen it. I told him I didn't care for it & he was like, "Whaaaaa?!?!?!? I heard it's suppose to be the shit."
It made me think of all the post about it on here. Maybe I'm missing something. Then again, I don't remember it too much.
I watched it once & really wasn't impressed. I simply posted "Drive" in this thread so maybe I get some insight on what it is I'm missing. Seriously going to give it a second chance.

I get what you are saying about the cheesy main bosses, but what made the movie over the top was the lack of strategy. In too Deep and New Jack City had bosses that seemed actually use strategy along with dishing out random ass whoopin, so at least there was a balance: showing both the dog eat dog side, and human chessboard side of the game.
The rappers didn't taint the movie, they just overexposed it...Which is a good thing cause it probably saved the world from seeing Tarentino doing a remake.

I guess I kinda took it like, what Tony didn't have in experience, he made up for with balls and determination which also led to his downfall. Sosa was clearly ahead of him in terms of his operation and how he handled his business. Tony thought once he got his chips up and got his power, he couldn't be messed with. He had a staff of his former boss, his boys that were left, security cameras all around his compound and all that. Sosa sent a damn fleet of dudes up there and Tony wasn't ready for any of that. Tony was caught slippin multiple times but he also forgot the 2 rules taught to him by Frank, don't underestimate the other guys greed and don't get high on your own supply. That was his downfall ultimately. Some movies aren't for everyone but if someone tells me they don't like movies like Braveheart, I really can't understand that.
