I felt like the all the talking over everything that was happening in Casino was lame.
How strong can a story be if you're explaining the entire thing to the audience?
I didn't find the story compelling at all and the characters didn't seem to, idk, complement each other? It just seemed all over the place.
I thought the acting was really good, though.

I didn't/don't like Casino at all.
LOVE Goodfellas, though. In my top 10.
Maybe I would have liked Casino had I never seen Goodfellas, but it felt like a poor imitation. Like Jackie Brown and Pulp Fiction. I know a lot of people love the former, but I couldn't stand it.

Ray Liotta and Lorraine Bracco LITERALLY did the exact same thing in Goodfellas.
It feels like you're just looking for a reason to hate the film.

Legitimate complaint. They say narration is lazy film-making or to mask bad film-making.
As is well known, the studio wanted the Blade Runner narration because they thought the audience wouldn't get the story as it was shot.
