....I didn't like it.
There was no plot.
There was no literary protagonist. There IS a main character, though.

When I say plot, I mean an objective that the protagonist is after from the beginning; Some kind of imbalance that they sense needs to be rectified or corrected. When there is no objective, there is no obstacles in their way, either. This movie is 3.5 hours of, just, things that happen and it never clues the audience in on the endgame...so there's also hardly any climax, either. Its just, this happens, then that, then that, then that...with characters you can't really call "likeable" or "rootable" I wouldn't have cared if DeNiro died at any given moment in the film because I couldn't connect with him.

@xsameri some superhero films are art...some aren't. Same with practically every other genre. I don't discriminate and give every film I watch the benefit of the doubt. A film can still be artful (and I dont disagree with you. The Irishman is art) and also have a strong narrative. It doesnt have to be one or the other...and I might take this too literally...but you can eat popcorn at any movie, so I don't understand that term.

@iamdwg well if your most watched movie is Civil War, this film isn't on your level of comprehension. It's directed in the same vein as Fargo or Taxi Driver. It's a cinematic experience, not a theme park ride like MCU movies are.

@iamdwg I liked the movie, but I love your review. I really get your review. I think it's like that as well, but it didn't make me dislike the movie.

@iamdwg Agree 100%, you hit the nail on the head. I love Martin Scorsese movies and these actors, I mean what a line up! But I just never felt invested in the story, or the characters at all.

"What kind of a man makes a phone call like that?"

Nothing to add here after that.

3 and a half hours of a movie trying to understand THAT. I must say the time just flew by. Now that is a sign of a great movie.

Probably Scorcesse's best movie since The Goodfellas.

Lost interest somewhere half way through, never really got the feel of what the whole thing was about, and the time jumps didn't fit in. Great cast and photo but this CGI youth serum thingy was kind of ridiculous and poorly made, or the effect itself was nice but when De Niro moving around as the 80(?) year old he is it doesn't matter if his face looks like 30. Like when he was beating up that shop owner and kicking him to the curb, it looked like he was using a walking chair while doing it :D
This will probably be on of the most overrated movies for a long time, people will up vote it just because they feel they are supposed to like it.

Martin Scorsese has done it again, another amazing movie. It's long but moves at a good pace. The deaging is a little noticeable at fist but then I got used to it. The story is huge and epic in scale and deals with heavy themes. De Niro and Pacino are both fantastic but it was Pesci that stole the show for me, he was incredible. I want to see this again.

This has quickly become one of my favorite Scorsese films. The first time I saw it I didn't like it. The second time I liked it quite a bit more, and since then I've found myself coming back to it again and again. I get why a lot of people didn't love it, but I find it to be an oddly cozy film. Some people sit back with an Agatha Christie novel or an episode of Columbo for their fix of comforting violence, I rewatch The Irishman.

What an amazing movie. The end was so pitiful and haunting for the main character. There need to be more movies like this and less of cartoony superhero movies. I can see why some people don't like this movie. I am definitely not one of them.

If you could invite any 3 acting legends to a dinner party, why would you take them to a Denny's?

Despite the major talent here, _The Irishman_ feels like a minor work. A 'Not So Nice Streets', if you will. 'Uber Driver'. 'Pretty Miffed Bull'.

Only Joe Pesci's magnificent performance really justifies investing the 3 1/2 hours required to watch this epic wannabe. It's not a bad movie, but it's not better.

(Yes, I know, I'm supposed to give _The Irishman_ a higher ranking because it reunites De Niro, Pacino and Pesci in a Scorsese project, but I can't give it the score I wish it had earned.)

There probably won't be another movie with a cast like this for a very, very long time. Everyone gives a good performance. Plus, the production quality is through the roof. Everything is right on the money.
BUT, even considering all of this, it's not my kind of movie. The story is something I didn't have a particular interest in. Not my time and place. And, contrary to others, I thought this was running too long. I couldn't keep up my attention. After two hours I was out of it. About an hour less would have helped. About the CGI de-aging: how old are they supposed to be when they meet at that gas station ? DeNiro looks like being well in his 40s. I am not a huge fan of this technology in any case.
This is all my very personal view, and so is my rating. By no means is this a bad movie. But I think not everyone will love this.
And this is another case where I wish trakt would implement demographic in the rating because if you check over on imdb you`ll notice the rating drops rather significantly with age.

As much as l have liked these actors in the past, I just couldn't get past using these old guys to portray young gangsters. They had to have so much makeup on they at times looked cartoonish. Probably not going to be a popular opinion but I would have loved this movie if Scorcese had used younger, fresher faces in this.

Deniro playing a young, tuff truck driver, with his leather jacket and goofy hat just seemed silly.
