It's OK. I wanted to see more houses getting painted though

Rating: 7/10 (28 November 2019)

I'm a big fan of Scorsese's works, like Shutter Island, The Wolf of Wall Street, The Departed and Gangs of New York. I've also watched Casino and Goodfellas both 20 times easily! That's how much I like Scorsese's films... but there's something missing in this one. Where as all the films I've mentioned above are rated 8, 9 or 10 by me, I've really struggled to even give this film a 7/10 score... it's simply not the same as his other films.
There's CGI on the faces of a few actors in this movie, including De Niro and Joe Pesci. The CGI is quite noticeable. They also made Robert De Niro look like a vampire in "Underworld" for some reason... they gave him the bluest eyes EVER. De Niro looks like a Disney Princess in some scenes, with his bright blue eyes, like they put LED lights in his eyes or something. I mean sure, you're trying to get across that the dude has blue eyes, but holy hell! It's just a too excessive tbh.
I wouldn't dissuade anybody from watching this movie, BUT if you want to see Scorsese at his best, then I'd rather recommend one of his other movies like Casino or The Departed, because "The Irishman" simply isn't the best that Scorsese can do.
