A Film for Idiots

Rating: 3/10 (16 November 2019)

After looking forward to this film for a long time, after 30 minutes I managed to see through my rose tinted spectacles and Scorsese, that this film is self indulgent, boring and 2 hours too long. A pretty simple plot is dragged out over the course of 3 and a half hours, fleshed out with mind numbing dialogue, which is only broken up with occasional 'jokes', which are just as the stupid as the audience for laughing at them.
Scorsese repeats pretty much everything in this film, from the performances of the actors, to the one liners, aswell as the camera moves. The steadicam loop that is used over and over again, gets nearly as boring as De Niro's performance as he uses the same expression for the 1000th time.
This film has Netflix producers written all over it. "Lets get Marty and De Niro back together again". I should have known better than to sit through this dross (only hoping it would get better) from De Niro's movie choices over the last few years. I'd rather watch meet the fockers, knowing full what im getting, rather than feel like I'd been sold a dead horse by Netflix under the pretence of some big names.
Please don't waste your time on this, it really is for idiots, evidenced by all the positive reviews on here. The emperors new clothes springs to mind...
