I haven't seen it since its original release.
At the time, I thought it was just as great a huge-scale gangster epic as anything by Coppola or Scorcese...
I might not think the same now. Like so many Italian epics, it's very slow... But Woods and DeNiro are excellent...

Because of this, the film has had an awful reputation here in the states. It flopped both in the theaters and critically. Then it faded from everyone's radar screen. Add the fact that it took WB so damn long (this was on of the more sought-after titles, IMO) to come out with a version of the film on DVD and it's not hard to see how many people haven't really heard of it.
