Let's hope Deniro is not in it, he's a washed up old actor now

 

[jonnyp]

DeNiro was great in the Irishman, so I wouldn't say he is washed up, just takes any role for money these days.

Dicaprio looks like Sam Neil there

 

[JokerMM]

Dicaprio should keep the beard permanently

 

[BigBooper]

Nice! Let's hope they don't have something goofy like a cgi recreation of Sitting Bull's ghost or something. I love early 1900s period movies.

 

[sol_bad]

Hopefully it's better than Irishman.
Still don't understand why it got so much love from the critics. It's a very long slog.

Feel the same, went in expecting GoodFellas, ended up with OldBoys

Maybe stick to your ADHD superhero movies then.
The Irishman was an absolutely brilliant atmospheric piece of work and much of it is due to the movie taking its time to let the actors breathe.

I swear, modern audiences swallow every comic-book dreck, but if you give them a decent movie with well written character development, tight plot and thought-provoking message, they turn their noses.

 

[FreedomOfSpeech]

I thought the Irishman was pretty good.

Leo in a Scorcese movie, it will be awesome, I'm sure.

 

[Jeff Spicoli]

Can't wait for this movie.
Scorsese, Di Caprio and De Niro all together for the first time

Agreed Irishman was a great movie. But they made a mistake not using a different actor (or different actors) for the young version of Deniro.

When technology goes wrong IMO.

 

[AJUMP23]

What if I recognized him right away?

 

[ThatStupidLion]

Leo's looking old. wonder if its heavily makeup'd

whats this about anyhow?

i hated the first hour. The movie wasnt going anywhere, but then it takes off at around the 1 hour mark and I swear it felt like the last 2.5 hours flew by. Incredible movie. I actually stopped watching it at the one hour mark and didnt pick it up again for another year or so, but when I finally did I wished it was longer lol

That's fair. The CGI wasn't horrible, but noticeably artificial and a bad fit for a Scorsese film.

Scorsese is known for working tightly with his actors and I think there has to be some interpersonal relation for it to work.
Hence why he's not very flexible when it comes to working with new actors.

Ya I think they thought the technology was mature enough and of course best to work with the original actors but it wasnt.

Based on a true story about a series of murders of Native Americans in Oklahoma in the early '20s that was one of the FBI's first big cases they investigated.

I love Scorsese but there was nothing amazing about Irishman. I'll take The Last Temptation of Christ, Casino, Gangs of New York, The Departed, Shutter Island and Wolf of Wall Street over it any day. Hell, I'd take Hugo over Irishman.

Shutter Island is without a doubt my favourite Scorsese film.

If Killers of the Flower Moon gets a theatrical release in Oz I'll be there week 1 to watch it. But that probably won't happen because of stupid Apple+.

I just think it's funny how Scorcese (and his fans) trash superhero movies for being formulaic. The irony....

 

[The Hamburglar]

Leo looking washed up, that token Oscar has gone to his head.

Get a load of the rocking chair in the back. Remember when back in the day one of your options for passing the time was to sit in a rocking chair and rock back and forth.

Marvel has been making the same movie since frikkin' Iron Man. What's formulaic about The Irishman?

I spent 15 minutes this weekend looking through the glass door of a washing machine.

Come on, stop it, the film was a total letdown and was way too long on top of that.

The only decent performances were from Al P and Stephen Graham, the rest were mediocre.

 

[12Goblins]

Thought he would be playing tom white, not Ernest. Interesting.

Joe Pesci would like to have a word with you.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Are ppl rly that high that they think The Irishman was a bad movie? Dafuck. Even as a huge comic book movie fan I still really loved the atmosphere of The Irishman. I felt nostalgic watching it for some reason. Excited for this as well.

After watching Goodfellas and Casino, I find it hard for Joe Pesci to come anywhere near to those performances.

It's not a bad movie, it's just no where near the quality of what Goodfellas was.

 

[jonnyp]

Well not many movies are as good as Goodfellas, probably in my top 5 movies of all time.

Deniro will be shrunk down with CGI to portray DiCaprio’s infant son.

 

[12Goblins]

Kind of wish this was a series. Lot to pack into one movie

DiCaprio has become boring and overrated now. He used to have much more depth as a kid.

 

[RJMacready73]

I was enjoying the Irishman until they used a de aged DeNiro for his younger self and the whole film just fell apart for me, he may of looked younger but he still moved and acted like an old cunt and that bit where he attacks the fella was embarrassing to watch and I just switched it off... Terrible decision to not cast a young actor in that role

 

[EverydayBeast]

Going to see this

 

[mxbison]

Like half his movies are mob movies with Deniro or crazy person movies with Dicaprio.

Nothing wrong with that, but I think it's ridiculous of him to trash others for doing the same thing over and over.

 

[strange headache]

That's like complaining that every Marvel movie features superheroes.

You don't see the silliness of this argument?

Scorsese makes gangster movies. He has never lied about that. Marvel, on the other hand has a literal universe of ideas to pull from, and they make the same dreck 9/10 times.

It's not like Martin is making "mob in space", "mob under the seas" and "mob in the quantumzone" or whatever the fuck antman is.

Was thinking bout this a lot recently as I’m pretty much sticking to independent and older movies to get my fix for good storytelling.

And the ageism is amazing, fuck Dicaprio for looking better than most all 46 year olds but still not staying 21 amiright!!

At this rate I’m putting my money on Jiggling Keys the Musical to win best picture 2040

I've enjoyed some superhero movies, but it's not like I'm getting much substance out of them. It's a real shame, because comics have such a rich and long history to source from.

DiCaprio was one of those actors that I've always disliked, mostly due to his teenage heartthrob status. But over the years I've really come to appreciate him as an actor, Gatsby, Wolf, Revenant, Shutter Island, Gangs, Inception... dude has an impeccable filmography and he's only getting better with age.

Todays movie industry is way too focused on fitness and youth when the best qualities of an actor really only shine through after some life experiences. I whish Hollywood could learn to age gracefully. Maybe that's why The Irishman struck such a chord with me, it's Scorsese and his pals coming to terms with growing older. Hence why I get why young CGI De Niro seemed a bit at odds with that.

You just described hundreds of action movies over the decades and it's a massively generalised sentence. There is nothing in there relating to the actual movies themselves.
