Great film. Overshadowed by Goodfellas, so it doesn't receive the credit it should. I like it a lot.

smokin' Ok,Heres my two cents
I thought the movie was good,very strong performances,Although I couldn't help but feel this movie is a tad overrated,I dont think it goes anywhere close to the brilliance of ''Goodfellas'' It is also similar to ''American Gangster'' In that the movie was a good ride,but not a film,I wish to see again,partly due to the long running time maybe,Goodfellas I find I can watch many times.So I give this movie an 8/10,If I felt it would still be fun on repeat viewings,I would of said 9/10,but this movie like many,I feel lets it's self down a bit with a slightly overlong running time,giving us too much of a good thing and feels like it drags at parts

Casino is an awesome flick!

I agree with SnakeEyes that Goodfellas does, indeed, overshadow it.

The final Pesci scene is true win!

Casino is one of those movies that is only worth watching for a few, choice, memorable scenes. It's not a bad movie but it's certainly not one of the best, imo. The movie would have benefited if it were about 40 minutes shorter lol, the movie really does drag it's feet.

Casino is one of my very favorite films. I like it better than Goodfellas.

At first for me, Casino was GoodFellas 2 just set in Las Vegas but over the years ive come to enjoy the movie just as much as GoodFellas itself.

Frank Vincent finally gets revenge on Joe Pesci for what happened in Raging Bull & GoodFellas.

It's been awhile since I've seen casino, but it seemed like I didn't care to much for it, if it's the one with Deniro's really annoying wife then I didn't like it much, she really ruined the movie for me.

My only issue with Casino is that it's probably about an hour too long (which is kind of necessary due to the story arc's slow evolution m). So it's not really a film I'm likely to watch again, because if I wanted a 3 hour gangster/mafia movie I'd watch The Godfather (or part II if I wanted a De Niro hit).

I found no issue with the films run time. Infact, it's more than justified.

I think "Casio" pisses on" Goodfellas" face any day of the week. I think "Goodfellas" is highly overrated. It's the poor-man's Scorsese film, IMO.
