Is Scarface(1983) overrated?

Never even heard of this, so how is it suppose to be overrated?

Brian De Palma + Al Pacino + 80's = Great movie, definitely not overrated

great movie but i hate the fanbase they are quick to say its the best gangster/mobster movie

but never saw movies like goodfellas

it's a good movie,but a bit overrated.The only really good thing about the film was Pacino's performance.The story itself wasn't anything special.

Love it, it's a phenomenal movie

No, this movie will always hold a special place in my heart

Yes, unrealistic. Al Pancino is a highly overrated actor, most of his movies are very bad.

@khael: What?! How?! How old are you?

Shame him! SHAME HIM!!!!!

It's one of my favorite movies, but I don't think it's a masterpiece or anything of the sort.

No. The only time people really praise or bring up Scarface is when gangster movies or Al Pacino movies are brought up. It's a pretty good movie.

It's very enjoyable, but I think it's quite overrated due to 1980s nostalgia and a couple of memorable scenes and lines. The Godfather I and II are much better, in my opinion, as are, to a slightly lesser extent, Goodfellas and Once Upon a Time in America.

Who the hell hasn't seen Scarface?

No, it's a fine movie with a vocal cult following, but it's not in the same league as films like The Godfather or Goodfellas. As other replies to this thread have illustrated, it's properly rated as somewhere below "great" and above "average".

I feel Pacino in general is overrated, I liked Scarface and from what I've seen it's not overrated and few people would say it's as good as Goodfellas, A Bronx Tale or even Casino
