    The film that many consider the finest of its decade, Raging Bull, has aged well, and not just because it was filmed in black and white.

    A fiercely poetic study of violence. Stunningly shot in black-and-white. [14 Dec 1989, p.23]

    As LaMotta, Robert De Niro gives a blank, soulless performance; there's so little of depth or urgency coming from him that he's impossible to despise, or forgive, in any but the most superficial way.

    Yet another vastly overrated "classic". The whole time Lamotta is just being a meathead with a terrible temper. I'm a huge De Niro and Scorsese fan (Goodfellas, Casino), and that's why I gave it the 3, but I just don't get why people overhype this film so much? I will say this though, De Niro does a great job of making you hate Lamotta.… Expand
