The worst part of Black Mass was Johnny Depp's lovely, distracting make up and contact lenses.

The problem with old gangster movies is that every sentence ends in, "ya see".

Especially when there's some long shot that goes on forever cause the director is like 100 years old, usually they will put some ancient-rear end music to it that is completely out of place

The worst part is at the end, where they're old and washed up, and reminisce about how things were better, back when they were rich and could kill people they didn't like with no repercussions

Yeah I couldn't even look at him, they should have just said gently caress it to whether or not he looked like that guy and just let him be Johnny Depp

the worst part of gangster movies are when the two toughs meet and say macho stuff while their faces inch closer and then they give each other a face to face tongue lashing and then their tongues touch and they kiss, it just comes across as forced

worst part is where the bad guy dies or learns a lesson at the end. the conclusion of scarface should've been tony montana with a mountain of coke and hookers and the words "he lived happily ever after"

I really don't like Goodfellas, Pesci is okay in it, but Liotta and Di Nero are bad.

Casino is much better, and Godfather I & II are gold, even if they're conventionally the "Good Gangster Movies"

The worst part is when the decline starts.
It's like they won't get produced unless it shows that crime doesn't pay, even though it clearly does.

He was the cocaine Jesus.

Yeah that's it, that's the worst part. The saddest part, the Christlike sacrifice while some chick is on the rag.

IIRC in the novel everyone makes a mental note to gently caress this guy over if they can because he proposes working with the Blacks, despite saying they don't have souls
