There will never be another Goodfellas.
Enjoy this for what it is, a violent Scorsese gangster period piece. Don't expect Goodfellas and you won't be disappointed.
I'm watching it little by little. I'm about halfway through. DeNiro and Pesci pretty much play the by-the-numbers Scorsese gangster roles they always play but Pacino really steals the show as Jimmy Hoffa.
