Run time of 3 hours and 30 minutes, which is LONG, but the reviews I've read so far are 100% positive which is rare.
100% on rotten tomatoes based on 56 critic reviews
92% on metascore based on 20 critic reviews
All of the verified user reviews on IMDB are also extremely positive.
I gotta say I'm surprised, I know this is a Scorsese film, but I had my doubts this would be a great film because of how old Pacino & DeNiro are at this point and all the CGI.
I can't wait for this film to come out.
I've been monitoring this project for a few years now. The release teaser had me pump
yessir. i've been hyped about this film since i heard of its inception.
Looks slick, day 1 fap

It's bitter sweet watching these great netflix/HBO/Prime originals long dick theater cinema who's been catering to re branded sequels over and over and over the past decad
But at the same time it's tough watching the streaming platform era transition into big corpo daddies next buck.
It's manageable having a few platforms whether you pirate, crack or pay for it legitimately.
But i'm not trying to have 25+ premium accounts just to watch an exclusive here, ESPN+ there, UFC pass there, Apple Tv, Disney+ NBAtv, Netflix, Hulu, Prime, FB watch, Walmart video, DC Univers, Warner Media, etc etc
Soon every big prod company will want their own platform and were just going to end up back bundling all of them together with ads inbetween :confusedshrug:

I've been excited about the movie since I first heard about it. There's no way a movie directed by Scorsese starring Pacino, De Niro, and Pesci could disappoint. Seeing the positive reviews didn't surprise me, but it did make me more hyped.
Rotten tomatoes critics rated something highly? Usually means it's a sjw agenda based pile of crap.. hope that's not the case with this cause the trailer looks great
Netflix is its achilles heel. It will need to be experienced in a cinema, but they've tucked that up. We're going to respond differently to it on a handheld device than in a blacked-out cinema. With that said, the film probably wouldn't have been possible without them. It's a tough one to reconcile.
good shit goodfellas crew making a final debut.
First film in a long time i have actually wanted to see.
Worried it is a play at the hearts and minds of irish americans to "get them to the dark side" more than they already are. Same way west coast rap was used to lure many well meaning good hearted black dudes with strong rebelllious streaks AWAY from Public Enemy/Native Toungues/Consciousness, into horrible broken life paths they couldn't handle.

most irish americans have mixed in with a bevy of different origins english, german, polish, italian, greek etc and are just american white.
Is this movie about Frank Sheeran instead of Danny Greene? If so consider it a flop. No one gives 2 fvcks about Frank Sheeran and his relation to Jimmy Hoffa, and they'd rather have another movie about Danny Greene who was once a mobster in my great city of Cleveland. :applause:

It's a mob thriller
Theaters are mandatory for action/sci-fi imo
I like exclusive release on Netflix/Prime or w/e because you can rewind em if you missed a part or something said
BTW, how does this movie have over 1,500+ reviews? Doesn't it release Nov 27th?

NYFF had a load of screenings + random idiots rating without seeing it.
Frank Sheeran wasn't an Irishman; he was American-born. There's a difference. :no:
[QUOTE=JohnnySic]Frank Sheeran wasn't an Irishman; he was American-born. There's a difference. :no:[/QUOTE]
Well maybe he IDENTIFIES as an Irishman, huh? Maybe he was born in the wrong country? Maybe he FEELS he’s an Irishman in the INSIDE?
Have you ever thought for one single solitary moment, about how HE identifies? Did you?
[QUOTE=FultzNationRISE]Well maybe he IDENTIFIES as an Irishman, huh? Maybe he was born in the wrong country? Maybe he FEELS he
Scorsese has an Irish mob infatuation...Gangs of New York, The Departed and now The Irishman, weird since La Cosa Nostra is the GOAT organized crime outfit.
Will watch it obviously...

The Irishman will release at the beginning of November in cinemas. It comes out 3 weeks later on Netflix.

It's not going wide; Netflix made a dog's breakfast out of the talks. If the film hasn't been announced in your area, the first chance you'll have to see it will be on Netflix.
Pacino already getting Oscar talks for best supporting Actor.

I haven't seen the movie yet, but many people who did are saying this is Scorsese's best movie since Goodfellas. I can't fvcking wait.
Two more weeks

[QUOTE=1987_Lakers]I haven't seen the movie yet, but many people who did are saying this is Scorsese's best movie since Goodfellas. I can't fvcking wait.[/QUOTE] Who are these people? The Age of Innocence is probably his best; Casino is one of its closest comparisons, and is better; and I'd argue that The Departed is more immersive. I'll concede that it doesn't have the indelible scenes found in Goodfellas, but it's a more mature and refined take on that film.
[QUOTE=Bimbo Coles]Who are these people? [/QUOTE]
Just read the reviews from critics. I've already heard the word "masterpiece" thrown around by many of them.

It's almost here.

The Irishman[/B]

Bronson selling him the green casket at the end was LULZ.
Movie was aight, except that casting DeNiro and Pacino as Hoffa (Pensylvania Dutch) and Sheeran (Pasty Irish guy) just isn't biologically accurate.
It's like Casting Dolph Lundgren to play Jesus.
Charlton Heston to play Moses.
FOH Scorcese.
Omg this movie is 3 and a half hours long :eek:

Did you watch Goodfellas?
Jimmy Conway is full Irish, in Casino he is a full jew.
Watched this twice on and off. Great movie, very classy Mob flick. Middle of the pack for the filmography.
Will expand upon later if it
[QUOTE=Patrick Chewing]Omg this movie is 3 and a half hours long :eek:[/QUOTE]
i watched it in 3 sittings, started yesterday, continued this morning, then finished it right now :oldlol:
way to fvcking long.
good movie tho.
Scorsese really blew it with the younger CGI Deniro. He still looks old as shit and Pesci is calling him
Watched half of it with my brother earlier...started slow but then it got rolling. The scene with Al Pacino going off and DeNiro walking out was amazing. We were dying.
