I thought it was utter shite.
Kept with it because I'd heard 3rd act was brilliant. Nope. Unfeasibly boring. Was very disappointed..
De aged DeNiro kicking the store clerk was laughable.

I’m currently watching this in segments on Firestick and finding it quite enjoyable.
The only slight downside is when the main characters play themselves as younger men and look as if they have had their wrinkles filled in with polyfilla and their hair coloured by padawax.

As for it being too long, not for Netflicks it ain't, in a cinema it might be, but it would still be a great film.

A very good film, authentic and intelligent less of the wise guy bollocks that Goodfellas has , I love that film too but this for me was better. Pesci Pacino and De Niro were all absolutely fucking brilliant .
I can't help it I have to say it, calling De Niro a washed up actor can only be done by a imbecile so bereft of reality that they believe that they make Abraham Lincoln look like an average tuppence of a president.

I got round to watching this last night and I thought it was actually quite decent and not as bad as the WHO critics make out!
I agree with some of the criticism though that it was a bit too long and the scene when a ‘young’ Frank Sheeran played by De Niro is beating up the grocer looked silly.
Joe Pesci was the standout for me. An excellent, understated performance. De Niro and Pacino were also pretty good and neither ‘phoned it in’ as they have had a tendency to do in recent years.
I’m glad Scorsese was able to make this film and that he and Pacino finally made what will likely be their only film together.

Watched the first 2 hours and not impressed so far. As said it's not a patch on the Departed

Michael Franzese, says that Frank Sheeran never killed Jimmy Hoffa or Joey Gallo but apart from that, he said it was a great film

Seriously compared to Goodfellas, Casino, Raging Bull where Pesci and De Niro were pukka, even The Departed.
This film was proper shit. 3 and a half hours you want an epic film worthy of spending that amount of time sat on your arse to be entertained.
Goodfellas is timeless. I am sure we have all seen more than once.
This film shows how fucking good they were in the 80s and 90s.
Fucking greed pops up everywhere, the film version of the Rolling Stones doing a come back gig.
Anyone wanting to watch this , save your time , watch Goodfellas again for a gangster masterclass and Al Pacino in Scarface or Scent of a woman for a first class performance.
For those who want to see the film with an interest to the hit or events then the book I heard you paint houses by Charles Brandt is a lot better.
The only gangster OAP in film that worked was Marlon Brando as Don Corleone and in TV Don Héctor Salamanca.

47 minutes - The Real Goodfella Henry Hill documentary - lows budget yet 5* compared to the 140 million dollar the Irishman.

You only have to read the reviews online from all the people that love it. They basically say that anyone who thought it was poor, overrated and dull “doesn’t understand it”.
No, it was just shit.
There’s no comparison between The Irishman and The Shawshank Redemption in my opinion. Shawshank pisses all over it. It’s all about opinions though and we’re all different.
I also thought The Joker was overrated and boring so it’s probably me.
