I want to watch “Irishman,” but I’m afraid DeNiro’s recent nonsense will now make his presence an annoying distraction.

I’ve always enjoyed his work, but I don’t even know if I can watch Godfather II anymore!

Why Al Pacino Matters

Matters in what way? He's an actor.

p.s. 'The Irishman' sucked and was hella boring. It wanted to be 'Goodfellas' but failed spectacularly.

I am actually watching Irishman as I type this.

Boring and predictable.

I’ve seen it. It’s like Grumpy Old Men III. DeNiro was the worst! You can make an actor look old but unless they use the expensive process (don’t know the name CGI?) which they didn’t in DeNiro’s case, you can’t make an actor look young. Al Pacino was OUTSTANDING in his portrayal as Jimmy Hoff!

I know just how you feel. I hate Robert DeNiro for his anti-Trump idiocy.

Nevertheless, because my TV just died and I don't plan to replace it (and I have free Netflix by mooching off my daughter's Netflix account), I bit the bullet and just recently watched The Irishman.

It really is a great movie, a true (as far as is known) story about the Mafia in the age of JFK and Jimmy Hoffa. No fake character names (as in Goodfellas, one of my all time favorite movies).

I watched it more because it was directed by Martin Scorsese -- who did an amazing job as always. It's said that this one is his last gangster film.

I hate to admit it, but DeNiro was excellent in it, as was Joe Pesci and Al Pacino.

So all I can say is phuck Robert DeNiro, but it's a great movie. I highly recommend it.

He was terrible in it, I was laughing at him the whole time. Besides the usual stupid faces he makes, there’s one scene where he has to beat up this guy, and they use computer graphics to make DeNiro look younger, but because in reality he’s almost 80 he could barely move and it looked fake as hell, he taps the guy and the guy goes right down, then DeNiro does these little baby taps with his foot lol lol. And Pacino looked absolutely ridiculous, he looked nothing like Jimmy Hoffa, what he looked like was Al Pacino with a wig glued to his head, a wig with a ridiculously low hairline. I didn’t think it was that great a movie at all. Goodfellas beats it by miles.

” Irishman “ is well worth the time.

Martin Scorsese has magnificent work with this film.

It’s also enjoyable to recognize the many stars from TV and film that have been in similar movies.

Hope you watch!
