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.

That's why they released it in cinemas for about a week wasnt it? so it was eligible for award consideration?

The crime saga, starring Robert De Niro and Al Pacino, was named 2019’s best film, following in the footsteps of Green Book last year which went on to win the Academy award for best picture.
“We are thrilled to award The Irishman as our best film,” said the NBR president, Annie Schulhof, in a statement. “Martin Scorsese’s masterful mob epic is a rich, moving, beautifully textured movie that represents the best in what cinema can be.”
Steven Zaillian also picked up the prize for best adapted screenplay for the film.

How about with Chin Gigante?
It would probably end up being a comedy :-)

Now this bloke is someone they could make a film out of, a mob guy called Michael Franzese:
Has a cameo in Goodfellas does Franzese.
Think they could make a good film on Joe Gallo as well.

Terrible film in all aspects. A last pay day for the self indulgent cast. So good Pesci scenes don't make a good 3 hour movie. Some of the CGI is laughable.
8/10 fucking hell. So the Goodfellas gets 15/10 in my book.
No wonder Netflix is going bust. When you see the imaginative stuff Amazon are doing.

About an hour too long and as mentioned by someone on here, the bit where De Niro gives someone a kicking, looks awful.
But that aside, probably a 6 or 7 out of 10.
Joe Pesci was good - unusual to not see him playing the shouty angry bloke. Pacino still got a few of his usual shouty bits in. De Niro was alright apart from the beating bit and his weird eyes.

Sad to say it but, it wasn’t a very good film at all. Ridiculous story, no pace, and pretty predictable performances from all concerned.

Pesci’s excellent, one of the high points, real understated yet brutal performance.

Joe Pesci is meant to be good. The rest embarrassing. Might swerve it.

It’s long and the cast resembles a who’s who of mafia movie actors our for a last payday. Not sure I could watch it again and again like I could Goodfellas, but its pretty good never the less and definitely worth a watch.

Heard a review today saying this is absolutely dreadful. I was considering it until that. Apparently the bits where they're younger and the bits where they dish out a beating are like watching pensioners trying to get off a bus.
