Is it perfect? No.
Is it too long? Yes. Possibly.
Will modern audiences like it? No.
Why is that? Because of the visual storytelling, the 'assault' scene in the middle which isn't explained until the end and its beautiful languid style which is anathema to to younger more childish tastes in cinema.
De Niro is good, Woods is better but the direction of Sergio Leone us the star here. He cuts back and forth between scenes in the twenties, the thirties a nd later on in the sixties.
There was ten hours of stock used for this movie. The version I saw was just under four hours. I need to see the rest.
