It's 3 hours long and an overly bloated mess. Definitely not as good. But still good performances.

It's a little long, yeah. Goodfellas is just so good though.

I'm one of the few that prefers Casino over Goodfellas.

It felt like someone trying to make Goodfellas again and not hitting any note right. Even the way Casino ends is not thematically satisfactory like Goodfellas is.

I found the difference mainly to be that Goodfellas has a lot of humor in it, whereas Casino is much dryer. Part of the appeal of a rise-and-fall movie is that the first act gives you a feel of why this lifestyle would genuinely be attractive to some.

I was also much, much more aware of how much of Casino is voiceover narration as opposed to on-screen dialogue than I was in Goodfellas (though I couldn't tell you what the ratio is for each movie, and would be interested to know).

Ultimately I'd say one's a more stylized drama and the other has more of a documentary feel. Kinda fitting the Wolf of Wall Street and Irishman would mirror this duality in the contemporary moviesphere.

I liked Casino more

A gangster movie in Vegas is far more interesting to me than a gangster movie in NY.

It's too long, I hate most of the characters, and I find the sheer amount of swearing to be off-putting

yeah the humor is critical to goodfellas success. every time i watch it, when it's over what i think about more than anything else is just laughing at tommy, like henry in the suburbs
