Scorsese should be banned from the Oscars!

Rating: 2/10 (18 November 2012)

A real disappointment this one. I am familiar with Scorsese's style of inputting in scenes or characters that may appear random but humorous in their own way, but to realize at a stage where everything is so disjointed -- the characters and the pieces of the plot fail to connect to each other to explain things properly but instead just informing the audience that everything is just some sort of ridiculous coincidence?
And Scorsese do you expect me to believe something like that is enough to traumatize a person for life, and another thing as simple as that is enough to give a wake up call? Such amateurish writing and direction - not to mention the severe lack of chemistry between some of the actors who should have expected to excel even more! Please, stay away from the Oscars! Clearly Martin Scorsese does not qualify to be a versatile director, as his attempt to direct an unusual kid fantasy film is so far off from his forte, or he has become too old and should retire in peace.
