The Irishman 2019

Saw this last night and I was very disappointed in it. It not a terrible film but ,it was a rehash of his previous "mafia" movies, it was like he was leaving breadcrumbs in the forest for us to find our way out of this predictable movie. His use of his old stand by guys was also not welcomed. The only performance worthy of a look was Pesci. DeNiro was well DeNiro who had a few good moments for sure, but Pacino was a big mistake, and gives his usual loud performance, Scorsese would have done better by not using him. There was also an annoying lack of contrast and development of his woman characters who are just cardboard and familiar. They are simply not there. Contrast his use of women with Edie Falco and the other females in The Sopranos He ordinary use of decor and costume and his use of popular music and gliding camerawork is old and predictable. Also his cheap use of the cute little in joke of Pesci meeting up with david farey who he played in JFK was pathetic. The De-aging gimmick didn't bother me too much, but was it necessary. Also the plot was too confusing at times, and yet also too simplistic. bang bang you're dead, and the titles of how these mobsters died got old by the second time he used it. I don't understand the raves its getting are we so hard up for something marvelous that we fall for the first thing that is 3 1/2 hours, does this signify important? It had no shading or color it just plods along for its unbearable running time. Maybe I'm just tired of horrible awful people getting the royal treatment.
