One of the overrated movie

Rating: 3/10 (13 December 2017)

I generally don't write reviews for the movie, but having watched this movie because of the high rating on the IMDB, I was compelled to write review so that I would be able to save precious 2 hrs of other viewers. To summarize the movie: a great boxer who is unable to control his temper, fights with everyone including his wife and brother and lead a life of misery. Thats it. There is nothing great in this movie.
Now lets go through the reasons for high rating of this movie. The first reason is this movie has a great actor and a great director. I agree that the actor and director are great, but does that mean that the movie is great? Cant best people in a field create a mediocre product? The second reason is DeNiro has gained and lost weight for this movie. Now come-on how can an actor gaining a weight for a movie can make the movie great. This has been done by so many people before this and after this. Should not the movie have something that captures the attention of audience? The third reasoni is that, the movie is based on real boxer. Now if the life of boxer is an average life, then there is nothing great in the movie. The fourth reason is some boxing scene. There are lot of movies that have such scenes and this is nothing new. However, the few boxing scenes were reason I rated this movie as 3 star. Another reason is the domestic violence and a fight scene in club for a very silly reason. I don't understand how can this be a reason for making a movie great. There are lots of movie which have violence for silly reasons and we rate such movies as B grade movies.
There a few good scene in the movie, but thats it. Those few scenes hardly span 10 to 15 minutes of the movie. Similar to this movie I consider "boyhood", "shining", "deer Hunter" to be another examples of overrated movies. I hope my writing will save 2 hours of someone's life.
