Title: An overindulgent mess with nothing to say
Review: Once Upon a Time in the West was a masterwork by a great artist. It was the American west as myth. Once Upon a Time in America is an overindulgent mess with nothing to say that is worthwhile or even interesting. Unlike his earlier jewel, in this movie there are no mythical characters or dialogue and only glimpses of a mythical landscape (the scenes with the utterly gigantic bridge in the background excepted). But the worst part was the story - there just wasn't one. I should have known it was going to be bad when I saw in the opening credits that it had six screenwriters.
Is the review positive or negative?
