Once Upon a Time in America

[lurkerwithout]

So...fucking...dull. This movie runs THREE HOURS and FORTY MINUTES. If Leone had cut about TWO HOURS from it, maybe I might have watched all of it instead of giving up at the end of Disc One. EVERY time I'd start to get into the story of Noodles, Maxie and their crew of Jewish gangsters the story would flash forward. And then start playing sad, sad music. Gods, it was like an experiment in how to annoy me with a movie. How the genius behind the Man with No Name westerns made this pile of crap is beyond me...
