Awesome.

I like Scarface, Pacino's performance is brilliant, but as a film feel its extremely overrated.

I think this is true for me as well, but I kind of feel it's the way the movie has evolved in popular culture that has lessened it, in my view. I can't take it as seriously because of that.

It's about time.

Sacrilege!!!!!!

I don't think it's over rated at all. Sure it's a bit cheesy in parts but that was the time . . . tiger print apholstry on the caddie, the clothes, the music, the excess and the violence. I think it's cult status in popular culture is well deserved. Now, . . . bring on the remake with Christian Bale as Tony Montana

If by overrated you mean cinematic masterpiece, then, yes it is.

LOL... I was anticipating a response like this from someone.

Cheese aside I still think its overrated. The film is very much a period piece and I understand it is depicting a world of excess but a lot of the film has not aged well. As for the music I guess you either love or hate it but personally I hated it and ironically I love the 80's.

Oliver Stone's screenplay is far to simplistic and Brian DePalma's Direction is to poorly paced for me to consider it anything more than just average at best. Some of the acting, even Pacino at times was a bit to over the top for me, cartoonish even.

If you were to base the quality of the film on how it's status has evolved in popular culture as Marvelito pointed out you'd think this was the Godfather or something. For me personally it wouldn't even rank in my top 10 gangster films. Its just not in the same league as The Godfather I and II, Goodfellas or even DePalma and Pacino's later work together in Carlito's Way.

agreed on all points
Though I feel similar about Carlitos way I thought it was good but not as great as some people say, only thing great about that film was Penn. It certainly didn't warrant a sequel.
