    Up until the halfway point of this I was sort of interested but at the same time not at all engaged with what I was watching or what would happen next. Then the last half happened.  I couldn’t look away and I grew such an appreciation for this story and how it was told.…

    Kind of overrated if you ask me. Great performance from De Niro though. I just didn't find it that interesting or engaging. It was good, but one of the best movies of all time? I think not.

    - I’m a be honest this was going to a dislike if I didn’t find out halfway through that it was a biopic - I still couldn’t give it a like tho because this mfer did not deserve a movie about himself he deserves jail time - The actors played a great role of making me hate them lol

    9/10 - Great film, really enjoyed it. What an amazing performance from Robert De Niro. It really shows why he’s one of the best actors to ever live. Can’t forget about Martin Scorsese either. Pure masterclass. The black & white worked really well for this film. So unique.

    Very popular but not as good as I was thinking it was gonna be. I really enjoyed how good Robert de Nero looked at the end of the film. The Acting was amazing but the story just didn’t work for me.

    Good movie it’s like Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro did Rocky. And if this doesn’t make you wanna se it than Watch it Joe Pesci was in it.

    Raging Bull is in perfect keeping with Scorsese’s work at the time — drenched in Catholic blood and guilt, full of self-loathing fury.

    One of the greatest biopics and boxing films. Robert De Niro gives his greatest performance in this incredible character study.

    Scorsese classic. The use of mise en scene in this movie is amazing when you watch it a second time. 10/10

It's about Scorcese and DeNiro's trying to top what they've done and what everybody else has done. Scorcese puts his unmediated obsessions on the screen, trying to turn raw, pulp power into art by removing it from the particulars of observation and narrative.

As LaMotta, Robert De Niro gives a blank, soulless performance; there's so little of depth or urgency coming from him that he's impossible to despise, or forgive, in any but the most superficial way.
