Had been looking forward to this one but....well, I may be in the minority here, but from the trailer, this film looks like a disappointment to me. Sounded tantalizing-top notch director and actors - but looks like same old tired ground. Well, you folks can have my share here; sorry, but there aren't enough skittles in the world ;) |
Re: Martin Scorsese's The Irishman
You have a valid point to make - @John-Connor, and the reviewers are all saying lottsa good things about it.
I'm still not saying I would relent on my boycott, but if I did , I would need something more robust than skittles. |

Re: Martin Scorsese's The Irishman
One of the worst posters I've ever seen. For such a high profile film from Netflix and all that damn money they're spending, you'd think they would make a decent poster.

Re: Martin Scorsese's The Irishman
That trailer is hot! I think I just wet myself :)
Can't wait for THE MOVIE EVENT OF THE YEAR! |
Worst case scenario that looks like it's as good as Casino in which case I am excited

Re: Martin Scorsese's The Irishman
Three-and-a-half hours is a long time to spend in that uncanny valley, but I guess we'll see.

Re: Martin Scorsese's The Irishman
Man, this has all my favorite actors. Robert the Niro, Al Totinos, Joe Pepsi.

I enjoyed Scorsese's comments about superhero movies not being real cinema. :D
However, his latest film has such a tiny theatrical run that it almost seems like he's taking the piss. I mean 'The Irishman' has just 1 showing in my entire country - and that was last night at 7pm in a tiny arthouse cinema miles from nowhere. I get that it was either this or not have the film at all. But it seems an odd age we live in where one of the biggest films of the year is basically not in any of the cinemas. I'm glad I've got a nice TV. |

I'm sure it will probably appear in some crappy small cinema, but I won't search for it. Yes, nice observation, and I think that pissed him a little bit, and might be one of the reasons he went all gypsy on superhero movies. After that affirmation, days later he said that he believes cinemas should have more narrative movies, movies where the audience shouldn't be focused on the plot, shouldn't be waiting for something at the end, in one word, more artistic films, about real emotions. What I believe his basically saying is: look at me, one of the best directors ever, a maker of masterpieces, now begging to be financed to make something because of you stupid uneducated kids, all watching meaningless "movies" don't spending money on mine. I also have a fair good TV, and to be honest, I don't spend much money going to theaters, I'm changing that, because I believe there are many great films being made today, great, great movies, on the A24, Amazon Studios, and not just that, independent movies are starting to have more recognition I believe, it's getting easier for the really good ones to reach the theaters because of the festivals, and because more great actors are more open to participate in them. |

It's a good time for movies and seeing them. It's a shame for the avid cinema goer though that this is now becoming the norm - interesting movies not shown in your city. |

3.5 hours of watching a Scorsese/Deniro/Pacino/Pesci/Keitel mob crime drama beats all the Marvel and DC Comics movies combined. |
Re: Martin Scorsese's The Irishman
It's less the length than the effects, but then again it's not like the people who have managed to see it complained too much (if at all) about that particular aspect so I'm not too worried.

Re: Martin Scorsese's The Irishman
It's long, it feels long, the de-aging wasnt 5star

Re: Martin Scorsese's The Irishman
If you think that’s too long stay away from Seven Samurai, Lawrence of Arabia, The Godfather part 1 and 2, Schindlers List, Apocalypse Now.....you know, classics.

Re: Martin Scorsese's The Irishman
There are long films that don't feel long
