....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.

Type in any movie or show to find where you can watch it, or type a person's name.
