The complaint I saw from a couple of critics is this movie doesn’t know what it wants to be and has no narrative structure, just jumping to scenes of his life without attempting to tell a story. I think they said travolta is pretty good though

Audience score I saw was like 3.5 stars out of 5.

There's so much baggage with this movie the critics were guaranteed to tear it apart... (I think only like 15 or 18 reviewers even have even written about it yet)

The gap between what these writers think about a film and what a the public wants to see is at a tipping point I think.

It's probably an average movie at best. But it gets publicity like it's Troll 2

The previews actually looked half way decent.



Yeah but that's how E got Medellin into Cannes and look how that worked out.

Has anyone made the plunge to go see this movie? I love mob flicks and after watching the documentary about Gotti on A&E I’m tempted to go. Just not sure if I should wait until I can stream it somewhere

I'm still waiting for the M/TV critics to rate this before I decide to see it.

Gotti has FORTY-FOUR credited producers:

About the same as the last season of a successful TV show.

Every dago in New Jersey, New York, and New Orleans will go see it, so it will do fine.

I guess her tried to do like Kendrick did with Black Panther.

The score sounds horrible.


quote:

the vibrant, rap-infused score by Pitbull, which features three solo tracks by the popular artist, doesn’t quite jibe with the movie’s general style and tone.

You don’t put the “Theme From ‘Shaft’” in a movie that is not “Shaft.” Come on.
