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.
