terrible- and i'm not joking

Rating: 1/10 (12 March 2007)

Throughout Scorsese's film career, his films have been so over rated. Let's tear this film down. Jack Nicholson- same old performance, different guy. The problem with Jack is that he acts because he wants Oscars, not because he is great, or even cares for acting. Secondly, how many times have I heard him talk the same way- pulling a joker on us. Leonardo DiCraprio, as usual, crappy, over rated performance. I swear that Scorsese has something going on with DiCaprio. He just is not a great actor and I must admit his performances make me laugh. He has a Bostonian accent, then an American, Bostonian, American- give me a break. I remember how Titanic was nominated for 14 Oscars, NEARLY EVERYTHING, except Dicaprio's performance. Hmmm, I wonder. Mark Wahlberg and Matt Damon- crappy acting again, only saying the "f" word every other word to get a ridiculously stupid point across. Many people failed to see how this film robbed another movie- Infernal Affairs- which is much better than this film.
Why was the film met with so much praise? Because of the casting and direction. Believe me, if Scorsese hadn't directed this and/or if this film didn't have an all-star cast but still had the same look- it would have been seen as a "B" movie that would go nowhere. And that is what it is. Completely over rated, just like Goodfellas, but only ten times worse. The story was crappy, and the ending was very stupid and ridiculous. Scorsese needs to pack up his stuff and go home. He is in a desperate search for Oscars, which resulted this time in pity for him. The only reason Scorsese won was because of POOR MARTY, NEVER WON AN Oscar. LET'S GIVE ONE TO HIM SO HE DOESN'T FEEL BAD AND REALLY KNOW THAT HIS WORK SUCKS. As for Best Picture, I am really disappointed with the Academy. Another sympathy award for the years of crappy films of Scorsese- and to illustrate this further, JACK NICHOLSON PRESENTED THE AWARD WITH DIANE KEATON! Again, sympathy for mediocre actors just so we could see their faces light up- so Jack Nicholson may wrongly think inside that he is the main reason the film was great and should've been nominated instead of Wahlberg. BS! We must admit that Clint Eastwood is the master but was pushed aside this year all because of a sympathetic academy and many other as well. Little Miss Sunshine and Letters from Iwo Jima were the best films of 2006. Screw the wannabe mafia movie that can't even top the Godfather.
