The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

The unending ringing of the telephone at the beginning really put me off, and I never recovered. While it is a good looking film, it is also boring and drawn out. And some of the actors are just terrible.

This movie is huge. I've seen the massive 229 min cut. And surprisingly it did not feel that boring! The pace was slow but for this story it was absolutely necessary. Otherwise the story wouldn't fell the way it felt. I was tired but also satisfied when this ended.The acting was fitting. The child actors did an amazing job. In some cases I think even better than their adult counterparts.One might get confused at the way this movie is shown. The constant switching between present time and the past might seem weird but its a massive buildup for the last segment. Once a person sees it all, he/she would understand why it was shown that way and would for sure appreciate the making.The long shots and the enthralling musical score that shows and makes sure channels all the emotions into the viewers was expected from Sergio Leone. I always enjoyed his work and this didn't underperformed at all. It's sad that this was his last movie.This was an epic tale and one of the best crime dramas I've seen so far. Too bad that it was a commercial mess due to a trimmed version being released in theater. I would recommend the whole 229 min version to anyone anytime.

Leone's Once Upon a Time in America, has a five-star cast in Robert De Nero, James Woods, Elizabeth Mc Govern, Treat Williams, Tuesday Weld, William Forsyth, James Hayden, & Richard Bright, create simply another world.I whole-heartily agree, that cutting this masterpiece is a CRIME, and that cutting this masterpiece is like having a jigsaw puzzle, with only half of the pieces.This film evokes all emotions, making you laugh, cry, feel simply astounded, and wanting this film not to end.I simply urge people, to go and see this film, be patient, stock-up on goodies, and prepare to be enriched by this masterpiece.If you don't see this film you are missing out on one of the 20th Centuary's Masterpieces of Cinema. 10/10Ican say.. The Great Movie Ever
