Worth watching

Rating: 8/10 (1 December 2019)

It's disappointing there are so many cynical reviewers on this site. For all movies, not just this one. Maybe these are bitter people so unhappy they feel compelled to spew their ugliness wherever the can where they don't have to worry about feedback.
This is a solid Scorsese movie with outstanding cinematography and set design. The actors are very good, especially Joe Pesci. So good to see him come out of retirement for this. Pacino is fun to watch as usual. I wasn't bothered by the de-aging. I thought it was quite good in fact. It is slower paced than a Goodfella's or Casino, but don't let that turn you off. I'm seeing a lot of ageist reviews on here complaining about the actors being too old and past their prime. That's hogwash and disrespectful. Younger generations need to get their heads out of their behinds when it comes to aging. We'll all be there someday and It makes no one less valuable. This may not be Scorsese's crowning achievement (I think he did that with Goodfella's) but it's definitely worth watching. Sure it's long by today's standards, but that just gives us more to savor. It's Netflix for crying out loud. Pause it and come back to it later if it's taking too much of your precious time.
