Sorry for the confusion, I meant the movie

[Jinn-Gon Qui]

No.

[SpaceyMatt]

I really like it.

That was the film that put out Al Pacino on the map. You can see its influences in tons of movies. Hell, that movie is the influence behind the entire ending of vice City

Just because some lucky dope manage to buy the rights for merchandising and put the damn movie poster everywhere doesn't mean the movie is not good.

It is a very fine piece of work.

Which "Scarface" film?

The original (Shame Of A Nation) or the öoosely based 'remake' in 1983 "The World Is Yours"?

Sonny Forelli: What? You thought I was just gonna take the fake the money? And leave with my tail between my legs!?

Tommy Vercetti: No. I just wanted to piss you off one last time before I suddenly appear at the top of the stairs without you knowing.

The soundtrack, scenes, and dialogue are iconic. And it's one of the few remakes that is far better than its source material.

I would say it deserves the acclaim. It aged better than any film I can think of.

I think it's good. I adore Pacino and cannot fault anything that he brings. Some of the characters I think seem exaggerated (possibly actors trying to match Pacino's presence on screen) which is unnecessary and detracting, but otherwise, I really like the movie and it produced some of the most iconic cinema scenes (The chainsaw, Tony's negotiations, decline at the restaurant,the ending (as referenced byL1qu1dator above) etc.
And how could I forget - great music! I wasn't rushing to the Yeyo till a few years later but hey, still works for me!

I can't comment with regards to how the general concensus stands on it, so can't say if it's generally overrated or underrated etc. but it is acclaimed, was successful, and I think deservedly so.

That would be The Godfather

Most rappers think Scarface glorifies drugs and money while it is actually a commentary on America, capitalism, and drugs.

Scarface is no where as good as the Godfather series

Even 'a bronx tale' is a better mafia movie.

Goodfellas too.
