One of the finest films of it's decade or any decade. Martin Scorsese painted not only a pretty picture but a beautiful and profound one as well. When I see this movie my breath is taken by the masterful acting ability of the great Robert De Niro. This is sure to make you hate but pitty him at the same time. Breathtaking just pure genius.

Raging Bull is the best boxing movie ever made, even better than 'Rocky.' I do; however, use the term 'boxing movie' loosely, as both 'Raging Bull' and 'Rocky' are character studies.

Best movies I've seen in this year is Looper and batman the dark knight rises ,my all time favorite movie's are The Godfather (1972) .Taxi Driver (1976). Carrie (1976). Scarface (1983). GoodFellas (1990) . Raging Bull (1980) .Casino (1995) there masterpiece movies, what i don't like are the silly remakes why a new carrie movie ? this is the 4th movie carrie the made it's just stupid ,Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie are absolutely perfect ,they both got Oscar nominations out of it, for God sake!… Expand

Wonderful movie, an absolute classic. I can't quite give it a ten (that score is reserved for the absolute masterpieces), but it comes close, very close. De Niro and Pesci are mesmeric, beautiful and flawless performances that captivate and enthral from the first moment to the last. This should be seen by everybody, its about as good as modern film making gets.

A great movie, directed to the point of perfection, the acting was great and the movie felt very real to me, the one problem i had was not with the directing or acting, but with the production. The black and white hurt my eyes and made it hard to tell what was what, but it is a movie I recommend to anyone asking

A stunning film that you will rediscover every time you see it. Robert de Niro also gives the best performance of his career. The fight scenes in the film are the best boxing scenes of any film.

This movie SUCKED!! I'm sorry I'm totally going against the crowd on this one. It's boring & long and it felt like a chore watching it. I really wanted to like it. I really tried, but you know what if a movie is really that good (according to critics)why should you try to like it? Man I freakin hate this movie. ALL boxing movies are better than this crap Rocky 1-6, Million Dollar Baby, and The Fighter are MUCH better. I know why the critics love this movie because it's bold and so vastly different from any other film. You know what that's very true. It is bold and vastly different, but in a VERY BAD way. (semi-spoiler) It's literally just about a douchebag boxer. He doesn't go though a change or journey or anything it just shows his life. He beats his brother & wife. He cusses alot. He kisses an underage girl(well she really didn't look underage) and the movie literally just ends in a random spot. I don't even care about the real story now because he was such a douche.However, he wasn't like an awesome villain douche or anything. It's not like he was the Joker,Hannibal Lecture, or Darth Vader. He was simply a douche that I didn't care about, and wasn't interested in. This movies overrated and people are just saying it's a masterpiece to follow the trend. Well F**k that. Eff this movie and Eff what the critics say. I respect peoples opinions, and if you like this movie fine. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. Just don't annoy me about it to watch it because I did and it was a terrible waste of my time.… Expand

This is one of the greatest movies ever made starred by the great Robert De Niro....all the quotes used in this movie are absolutely fantastic! Joe Pesci's acting was perfect....love this quote : 'if u win, u win, if u lose, u still win!'

Intense Movie, brilliant De Niro, but sometimes story writing is a bit weak................................................150 characters, there you go

One of the all time greatest movies. I can't find a goddamn thing that's wrong with this. I'll say that this is better than "Goodfellas" or "Taxi Driver"

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.

Fantastic acting and a interesting story about jake lomatta a boxer from the old days of boxing . its a rise and demise story from lomaata's beginings to his fall . the guy certanly led a interesting life and deniro and peci really bring thoose charicters to life . the black and white look to the film really gives it that 50's era feel to it. if you like films based on true storys this is deffinitly a must see.… Expand

Martin Scorsese's biopic of boxing champion Jake La Motta.
Robert De Niro is outstanding playing the insecure, paranoid & not particularly pleasant La Motta. With the later scenes after La Motta had retired, it's hard to believe this is still De Niro playing the same character as the transformation is so good.
Joe Pesci is very good for his portrayal of Joey La Motta, Jake's brother.
The fantastic music is also definitely worth an extra point for the great way in which it was used.… Expand

I lived in Chicago when Kehr was the critic for the Reader. He hated EVERYTHING that wasn't subtitled. What a pretentious little twit. Where is he now? Blogging and writing a column on DVDs for the NYT. If you hate the classics, no one takes you seriously after a while.

I liked the beginning, but then it became soooo boring!! I bought the movie because I "heard" it was soooo great. What a waste!

Just brilliant. One of my favorites. I also love the critical comments from Dave Kehr of the Chicago Reader. You have to wonder at some point if he questions his taste.

The greatest biopic of all times....the portrayal of Jake La Motta could not have been done by anyone besides De Niro.

Required viewing for anyone who likes movies.

This goes as one of Scorcese's classics along with Taxi Driver. Yes it is violent in a boxing way and an abusive way but still you will find superb directing and one of the best performances Deniro has ever given to the screen. Deniro does a fine job of playing Jake LaMotta because he really captures LaMotta as a jealous and as I said before abusive man. By the end of the movie you realize that you may have sat through one of the greatest 80's movies of all time.… Expand

Martin Scorsese's ultimate masterpiece. Quite simply the greatest American film ever made, featuring the greatest performance in the history of cinema.

One of the greatest films of all time? Certainly not. But what it attempts to do it does well: it has magnificent cinematography, brutal boxing scenes, relationship disputes, and of course you feel out of breath and exhausted when it is all over. But it fails in a nuber of areas, such as the pacing and, like all Scorcese movies, it doesn't quite know what it wants to focus on.

Stunning. Brilliant acting performaces from Dinero and cast, ex movie duringcellent directing, and cinematography. Pause the during beginning scenes in the Bronx. They are beautiful stillshots.

Arguably the greatest movie of the past thirty years. Many critics regard this film as probably the last "great achievement" in American cinema...and for good reason. DeNiro is Oh-My-God good as Jake LaMotta. The film is both hard to take and beautiful to look at, which is probably why so many people nowadays have a hard time watching it. A single frame of this film has more depth than the last four "Best Picture" winners put together. Quite an accomplishment on Scorsese's part. An American masterpiece.… Expand

Granted its a masterpiece. Yet its uneven pacing and its weaker moments lend it an unnerving ride that must be endured to get to its bitter and incredible ending.

Intense and amazing!

The GREATEST MOVIE from Martin Scorsese period.

My personal favourite.

It was so good it was like ringing my ears it was just sooo good! Even thogh it was very bloody but that did not stop me from wathing it. It had the best acting ever i mean like the bloode and everthing looked real. please buy it, it is the best movie in history!

Genius.

"Greatest" and "all-time" are words I gladly use on multiple occasions when speaking of Martin Scorsese's ingeious biopic. This is one of the greatest films of all-time, with one of the greatest performances of all-time.

Boring, pompous and vastly over-rated because of the Scorsese "genius." Nero over-acts just as badly fat as he does skinny. For a far better movie about a has-been boxer, try John Huston's understated, under-rated Fat City.

Why oh why do people who rate movies so low are included? especially when its as great and compelling as this!

This masterpiece didn't win best picture oscar? What a crime! This is the best movie made by all the people who are involved.

The most overrated movie in history. Give me Con Air any day.

My favorite Scorsese film - should have won the oscar - Robert De Niro is brilliant.

Perhaps, the greatest performance ever filmed. By far, the best film to come out of the 1980s. Rober De Niro completly embodies Jake LaMotta; mentally and physically. From gaining the build of a middle-weight champion, to the size of an obese night club owner, De Niro becomes this man. The editing of the film is perfect, especially in the fight sequences. With the flash of camera light bulbs, devasting punches, and sweat and blood flying, it makes for a violent ballet that reflects the soul of LaMotta. The score is brilliant as graceful classical music creates irony to the world of gore and jealousy that exists in the movie. And oh yeah...it is directed by Martin Scorcese.… Expand

Best Movie Everrr!!!

Scorsese's best film. De Niro's best performance. One of the top ten of all time. 'Nuff said.
