I guess I haven't seen them lately?

When I started watching it, I kept thinking "There must be some flashback scenes later on where they look young." And the whole movie passed and that never happened. I left me saying "I guess that WAS them "young"?" (like I said, to me it didn't make DeNiro look young, it made him look like current day Alec Baldwin or Dom Irrera.)

There are so many clips of this film on youtube, you can watch about 40 minutes of it, including the final scene.

I watched most of it in one sitting but had some things to do and finished it up the following day. I thought it was a decent, watchable movie but nothing special to me. I have zero knowledge of the finer points of film study, but I know what I like. Regarding Scorcese movies, there are many of them that I've watched more than once such as Goodfellas, Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, and The Departed. There are a couple that I thought were good movies but I doubt I'll ever watch them again. These include The Aviator, Gangs of New York, and The Irishman.

They also use old cinema tricks as well.



Haven't watched the movie. I might when my son visits this week for Christmas.

So DeNiro is wearing Bootsy Collin's church shoes and Pacino is pigeon toed? Big Grin

Watched it.

It's difficult to make these old actors look like they are young, no matter what they do. even as "young men" they looked to be in their 40's.

Watched it this weekend - enjoyed it a lot.

Sure you can pick pieces apart if you want, but it's good entertainment and IMHO a different story line than most mafia movies helps it. Including the fact that an Irisher is effectively in the mob but can't be a made guy because, well, he's Irish.

Long but worth the time.

movie was alright.

i watched all of it in one session.

i downed about 1/2 a ganja brownie..so sitting on my ass for that amount of time wasn't hard.

not sure I would recommend you spend 3.5 hours of your time watching it though.

Watched it Sunday with my wife.

I enjoyed it, and felt that it had a flow that many movies today don't have.

The history that was left unspoken of the time still spoke loudly in its silence.

I was born in 1970, and the Jimmy Hoffa was found by a satellite when Tammy Faye Baker went out to get the mail without wearing her makeup joke was very prevalent.

I just finished this on Netflix. It took me some time to finally watch it because I wanted to do it in one sitting. It was good, but not great, certainly the worst of Scorsese’s mob films. The movie was boring at times and the CGI was distracting, and in a couple of instances, laughable. I own Goodfellas and Casino on bluray and have watched them a lot. I doubt I ever watch this one again.

I loved seeing all the classic cars. I enjoyed watching the clothes from the various eras.

Pesci did well. Romano was hard to watch.

It is interesting how we watch bad people do bad things to each other as entertainment.
