James Woods' character is unlikable as well, but folks don't shite on his performance.
He had less than 5 minutes of screen time. Why would anyone hate his performance?

But it was a miscalculation. She derails the film.
While I don't agree with this, I understand this part of it. The movie is ostensibly about the skim, specifically the Argent scandal (all of the mobbed up casinos had their version of it - Casino involves the Chicago outfit's slice). But, the genesis of the film was a small news article Pileggi sent to Marty about the front lawn rant that made it into the papers.
Ultimately, the film is about the flawed character and personal lives of mobsters and how that influences their business success/failure.

Maybe she's so good, you then just start focusing on how much you hate her and the mob movie becomes War of the Roses.
Again, I won't go that far, but I understand this sentiment. There probably is a little bit of Stone kind of upstaging Deniro and Pesci and people weren't expecting that. Similar to Pesci in Goodfellas overshadowing Liotta and Deniro.

It's not enjoyable.
To me, it's Marty's most rewatchable film - or certainly as rewatchable as Goodfellas.

Sharon stone takes over the lastter part of the movie in a terrible way.
Just think,the part almost went to Madonna
[quote]"It was a Martin Scorsese film and it was between me and Sharon Stone," she teased, revealing herself as a top contender for Casino. Though the role ultimately went to Stone, Madonna is ever the gracious runner-up.[/quote
Things coulda been much worse.

Go rewatch Tombstone now. It's a great comedy.

but it's not in the same stratosphere as Taxi Driver or Raging Bull. Hell, It's not even as good as Color of Money.
That's my exact opinion too.
