[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 9202667, member: 7023840"] Again, define "overrated." How is [I]Citizen Kane [/I]overrated because most people who know anything about movies rate it in the top 10? And what does "legacy credit" even mean? Is Bob Dylan "overrated" because he had the temerity to keep living and making music? Scorsese is one of a very tiny number of directors that has had a true impact on all movie-making, and even though his later movies aren't all great, he has had a number of amazing movies in there. Look, if you want to say that he just makes the "same" movie, then you can't look at this particular list and say that they are all the same. At all. He is constantly taking chances, which means that some pay off and some don't. Saying that, inter alia, The Last Temptation is the same as The Departed, or that After Hours is the same as Gangs of New York seems like a truly bizarre statement ... to me at least. [/QUOTE]
