The Irishman (Scorsese)

TXSTYLE · 10-01-2019, 07:12 PM

Can this Action Crime Drama have anymore star power???

RickFLM4 · 10-01-2019, 07:29 PM

Any word on when it will hit Netflix (other than "later this year")?

zgood4u · 10-03-2019, 05:57 AM

End of November

BSM n54iS · 10-03-2019, 11:33 AM

yay

TXSTYLE · 11-28-2019, 02:37 AM

Out now only on NETFLIX.

Watching probably on Friday. It has a runtime of 3.5 hours!

2000cs · 11-28-2019, 08:26 AM

I heard it is excellent. Will watch soon.

RickFLM4 · 11-28-2019, 08:40 AM

3.5 hours?! I was thinking of watching it after dinner this evening but definitely can’t tell my wife it will go on for 3.5 hours.

Salty Dog · 11-28-2019, 08:47 AM

I'm on the fence on this one. De Niro, Pacino and Pesci have been cranking out garbage the last few years.

gunsmoker · 11-28-2019, 09:02 AM

I'm 1h into it and so far nothing original. Yeah, great actors, decent dialog, but it seems that Hollywood still doesn't quite understand that the time of expensive cast-focused productions is in its sunset. I can find cheap TV shows with unknown actors but more original stories that would entertain me better. And if we bring the kids into the conversation, they could watch 8h a day their own videos and videos of their friends on tiktok and maybe want to go to the movies twice a year.

So like I said, I don't think these guys have been in a decent movie since Heat. The whole "Goodfella's" thing is getting tired. IMHO anyway.

Reborn_ · 11-28-2019, 10:04 AM

^I agree, but I'll still eat it up. Waiting for UHD before I watch this one.

P1 · 11-28-2019, 11:58 AM

I will watch it, but the days of Goodfellas and Casino quality are done with. And 3.5 hours for a movie? Gtfo...

Is it not in 4K on Netflix?

Even if it is, it gets compressed. I meant I'm waiting for the disc.

You really want to see DeNiro's nose hairs that badly?

Fatty Duckets · 11-28-2019, 12:48 PM

Happy Thanksgiving!

So I watched it last night and I agree with the comments here so far. Before I even hit play, I had to double take the total time of 3.5 hours! I said to myself f it, and let it rip. An hour in and I was like mehhhhh nothing really happening. At the end of the day, I felt it was average at best.

Joekerr · 11-28-2019, 01:09 PM

I'd still like another Boondock Saints movie. I liked the first movie. The second was meh.

As a Video and Audiophile. I'd venture to say a movie such as this really won't benefit from 4k or UHD.

Now STAR WARS, AVATAR 2, or something similar, by all means. IMHO

P1 · 11-29-2019, 05:28 PM

Watched it last night. Fell asleep for the last 30 minutes. Guess Scorsese is trying really hard to create another “gangster” movie. Many scenes seemed awkward, especially the one where Frank beats up the storekeeper. I cringed. The characters all seem misshapen, like robots or cyborgs. Al Pacino looked more like Silvio Dante from Sopranos than anything else. Did they just invite everyone along in this movie that’s played a similar role in the past few decades or what? Very cliche.

Goodfellas and Casino can be watched a thousand times. This one, once at most.

Thats what I'm thinking.

wdb · 11-29-2019, 09:11 PM

At 3 hours and 30 minutes I’d say it was about 3 hours too long. Waste of time and talent.
