Disappointing Scarface

I had been looking forward to seeing this film again, but I think time has mellowed me somewhat. Very violent film, with really gruesome, bloodsoaked scenes. Al Pacino magnificent as usual, and very convincing in this role, but even he spoke as though he had a mouthful of marbles. At times his speech is almost impossible to understand. I felt as though much of the violence was gratuitous and could not watch the film at one sitting because it became monotonous. Couldn't help comparing this film to classics like Godfather, The Untouchables etc, and unfortunately Scarface does not compare.
