I thought it was ok. 6.5/10.

Question : Would they have been better off putting this into 3 one hour episodes?
The 3 hours and change didn't exactly fly by, but I'm wondering if I would have enjoyed it more as three separate episodes.

Maybe I have Netflix-itis, but anyone else know what I'm talking about?

I liked it. It was about Hoffa so it wasn't like gangster mob wars, more political then violence. It made sense and the acting was awesome as usual

Yes, I do.

You're either a Millennial or Gen X dumb fuck who doesn't understand nor is capable of appreciating nuanced art. You are likely one of the tens of millions of dumb fucks who just can't sit still when watching a movie and has to check their goddamn phones every 10 minutes while watching a film- damaging any other nearby viewers' experience of the film- and then complains to others about how the film (or TV show; I mean it's not like you know the difference) was boring.

I mean, I'll level with you. I'm drunk as fuck and I was born in 1997. I've been surrounded my whole life with anti-art and anti-cinema twats. And I grew up in the Delaware Valley, probably the same as you judging by your fandom of Philadelphia sports team. So, I've been around a lot of you fucks and naturally, I come off a bit cranky.

But, in all truth and objectivity, it is one thing to dislike The Irishman. That is a totally reasonable take that I get. I mean, I hate Casino, The Last Temptation of Christ, and New York, New York and two of those three films are regarded as among Scorsese's best.

But it's another thing to suggest that The Irishman be converted into a three-part TV series. Another thing entirely. It means that you're an anti-intellectual, cellphone-addicted, Venmo-paying, vape-blowing, Uber-riding, millennial cocksucking fucktard who should, if the gods were so gracious, be taken out back and shot. I respect Hitler more than you because while Hitler was directly responsible for the deaths of >10 million people, he never fucking opined that The Irishman should be a fucking three-part TV series.

Just watched this 3-hour masterpiece by Scorsese.

DeNiro, Pacino & Pesci made it worth every minute.

Small parts by Keitel, Paquin & Ramano also good.

Amazing screenplay & makeup effects on these very old actors.
DeNiro sucks donkey dick.

I spent the three hours; and to sum it up off all the movies I have ever seen it is definitely one of them.

Is 3.5 hours really such a long runtime for a film for you guys? I mean, don't you all spend at least as much time editing your photos and posting them on Instagram each day???

Sorry, it won't work. De Niro is an acting god, but Sparhawk is a retarded genius.

The acting in this film was amazing. Some of Deniro's best work in over a decade. 9/10 for me

I want to watch it but every time I actually find time to sit down it’s too late to start a nearly 4 hour movie.

What was his last good one?

I seriously don't remember.

Meet the Fockers?
I mean he was in Joker. A somewhat minor role though. I just glanced through his filmography and he’s slowing down for sure.

Omar? Is that you?

no. Couldn’t be. Omar couldn’t sit through an episode of Two and and a half men with out taking at least 2 breaks.

When Lincoln almost had to go straight to tv, you were prolly one of the ones who were aghast at finding out the news. but guess what? It should have been. It was just like The Irishman: mediocre, unilluminating, inconsequential, boring.
you probably like music from the 2000s, too, I bet.
