Richard Schickel
[Scorsese] seems to need scripts with well-designed humor and performers with the spirit of Ellen Burstyn to compensate for what seems to be a fundamentally depressed view of life and the belief that sobriety is the equivalent of seriousness. [More]

I keep wondering, which does TIME Magazine keep giving rottons to movies that are on their top 100 list?

...and why review this, period?

Taxi Driver is an american classic, in the AFI Top-100 best movies ever made, and as someone noted above, it's even in TIME's top 100 best movies ever made list.

You sir, are an idiot.

this website really needs a deadline on reviews so idiots like you can't ruin perfect rated films.

S**t head, you just made the biggest mistake of your life, your review was quite improper. I disagree with most of what you said. Maybe you might want to think it over again

Good grief. Why do people react so vehemently about these things?

Richard Schickel is a generally good critic, and this review was published over 30 years ago. A man can make a bad call. I bet if you ask Schickel today, he might admit he was off target on this one.

To be honest Taxi Driver as great as it is, and it is definitely great, got a lot of negative reviews when it came out. This is the only available online I guess.

Go stick your foot in a blender you fat ****. I don't give a goddamn ****ing **** if this was published 30 years ago, that just means you shouldn't have lived to be 30 ****ing years older today.

ok, really people youre just showing how unclassy you all are by calling this guy names for his opinion, its his personal opinion and he's obviously better at reviewing films than you seeing as how he works for time magazine, im not saying i agree with him i loved the movie but im not going to tell him he's an idiot for his opinion.

Of course it's depressing! It's about a low-paid man in a world with 12 year old prostitutes, where motel room beds are covered in dick sweat, and a lying pimp! And how the hell did you say comedy, I can't remember the jokes, I remember the stand against liars in politics, prostitution, crime (well he did murder many people), and violence! The top 100 films according to AFI always seems to be rotten to you, an old person who usually enjoys them, how about you watch this when you're not laughing how small your dick is! Scripts? WTF, the dialogue was superb, I can't believe you loved the dialogue in Speed but not TAXI ****ING DRIVER!

Look, I agree with the whole "each to his own" thing, but why the hell did you ruin the 100%. This one of the best films ever made... you are an idiot. That's it, nothing else.

It's obvious your negativity towards the film is simply your negativity on life, which ironic because you describe such negativity in the film. Life is sad and depressing, it is also happy and uplifting. There are two extremes to life now matter how you look at them and Taxi Driver is an aesthetic film portraying the darker side. Stop trying to be different because you got your journalism major at some pompous ivy league university and you believe that you are intelligently superior to the craft work of one of cinema's greatest directors and films because its widely popularized.
