I NEVER saw the “star” so many movie critics saw in DeNiro.
ALL I ever saw was an on-screen example of another major ego.
I agree, I never saw what others saw in him that merited an Oscar.
There are so many other fine actors that could have played the roles he was given. To me, he’s just that unique.
Brando, Pacino, Caan, Duvall were heads and shoulders above any would-be competitors for their roles. But DeNiro? He’s forgettable.
Same here. I think De Niro was good in a few films, but overall very overrated. Of late the films he has done are pretty much garbage. If I were De Niro I would be ashamed at having done a wretched film like “Dirty Grandpa”. I guess the guy needs a paycheck to pay for his style of living.
