Epic, and while I'm not as high on it as jcush, I'll certainly call it a flawed masterpiece. |

I still haven't seen the more recent cut, the even more extended version, that played at a few festivals around three years ago.
From all reports, the 90's Director's Cut is still the defintive version.

Long and un-engaging.

Beautifully shot, but the characters and story aren't interesting enough to justify its length.

I count it as an epic movie. I enjoyed the childhood part of their gangster story better.

8/10 ; which makes it within my Top 56 movies.
it's not as good as Good Bad Ugly/For a Few Dollars More/Once Upon a Time in the West, all three are 10/10's, but outside of those three it's the only other movie from the director I score a 7/10 or higher.
but with that said... it is a bit long but I like the general feel/tone of the movie as it's fairly unique for the gangster genre.

It's the only Leone movie I dislike and wouldn't want to watch again. The Morricone score is lovely though.

I feel that because Once Upon A Time In America is so engrossing the time goes by fairly quickly, therefore it doesn't feel like 4 hours long. While I feel it isn't exactly a masterpiece, it certainly is a very compelling gangster movie, inspite of the flaws.

From all reports, the 90's Director's Cut is still the defintive version. The added scenes to me all suck and add nothing to the whole movie. And it has a weird tint to the color that also sucks. Everything looks like crap.

Didn't like it.
Not a fan of Leone after Once Upon a Time in the West.
That was his zenith.
