The Irishman Reviews
Great storytelling! Masterpiece….
Great return to form from Scoresese
Just before the Oscars I got the opportunity to watch this 10 times nominee on the big screen. At 3:29 hours, it is loooong! Not a real problem, though, since it was shot for Netflix with only limited theatrical release, so very few people had to sit through it in a theater. Most of the acting is great, as are the visual effects of aging / younging (?) the numerous well known actors over the story that spanned several decades. The story is the film's biggest flaw, though: there was no build-up, no climax, just year after year after year, dying down in the end. Best picture? Not even remotely, with Joker, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and Little Women in the mix.
Good movie, interesting story, but way too long
The movie was good, as was the acting. However, the same story could have been told in half the time. It was way too long.
Classic Scorsese! Di Niro and Pacino command the movie like they always have throughout their career. I just wish it wasn't such a long movie. After 3 hours I was wearing down.
Cant believe deNiro was not nominated! So good as was Joe Pesci..
Even though a long show, held our interest.
Knowing going in that the movie was 3+ hours, I still found times where conversation dragged on a bit too long, but overall the time went quickly.
So excited that we got to see the movie in the theatre. Excellent movie.
One of the best films of the year by far.
To many flashbacks for me. It was hard to keep up.
Good but not great. Godfather is the gold standard. Pesce is brilliant- his best ever. An Oscar nod for sure.
A Mob Cinematic Masterpiece!!! This movie is meant to be seen in theaters, not on Netflix. Long but worth every second.
Unbelievable cast, great story
very interesting without a whole lot of bloody violence. SUPER cast!
amazing story, it was a little long esp the last 45 minutes.
It was too long. DiNero and Pesci should not have played themselves as young men being that they are OLD men now. Sebastien Montiscalco was the reason I was excited to see the film and his Role was painfully short. Pacino was brilliant.
I loved this movie. Great acting performances by Deniro, Pesci and Pacino. I really enjoyed the story of of Hoffa and how strong Unions were.
Acting was great. Story was interesting. Could have been done though in 2 1/2 hours and been fine. By the 3rd hour, we were hankering for it to be over but not aggravated enough to walk out.
