The Irishman (2019)
2/10
Embarrassing
16 April 2023
It wasn't even the length that bothered me so much. The de-aging CGI was shockingly bad. I mean - Scorsese, DeNiro, Pacino, Pesci, Keitel - and they could not afford a better wig for 'young' Pacino in his rant to the lawyer? He looked more natural in 'Dick Tracy' than he did in that scene. That was just laughable. There's a scene with DeNiro supposedly beating someone up. No CGI is going to mask him moving like a 75 year old man. And worse, he is obviously not even touching the other guy. This is what baffles me most: the indifference Netflix has brought this out in many movie makers. A minimal effort is considered enough. This film will not stand with the rest of Scorsese's classics.
