Much Ado About Nothing but hype?

Rating: Null/10 (3 December 2019)

Is the hype surrounding this film "The Irishman" justified? Not in the least. It is a case of much ado about nothing. I read some of the reviews here and I am just at owes at how much people praise this mess ?!. I question the validity of these people who leave these reviews here on IMDB and so should anyone who reads them, because these people could be working for the Hollywood industry to create more hype created by Martin Scorsese's marketing team and himself to brag about his own film with the cast on a video on Netflix. I think people in this country follow social media and just media like sheep and believe the BS before they even get a chance to see the movie. The same thing happened here on IMDB with the mess Tarantino made called "Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood" where there was instant reviews here on IMDB before the movie even had wide release. Look how long that lasted in the theaters, not even 3 weeks for just hyped up crap?
I say the same thing is happening here again that even someone "Martin Scorsese" has to rely on social media hype to promote a mess he made, because that is the way the only way to salvage a mess, is to keep a lie to become a mindset for the mindless masses whose life is spent on social media. But enough on that subject let's just focus on this bogus film about a guy "Frank Sheeran" whose story was debunked by FBI and dismissed as he was questioned before and after he wrote this book, that FBI found that he lied over and over and none of it added up together. Furthermore, due to the history of mob killings; they would never hire a person outside of their organization who was not an ITALIAN and a made to take out someone like Hoffa, that's just does not happen and over the years the evidence found proved that Frank Sheeran's story is partially true that he knew Hoffa and was close to the mob but he didn't kill Hoffa.
But Martin Scorsese didn't care about the truth, he cared about the DRAMA of how this story translates on the screen and to make a comeback with what he knows best from Mean streets to Casino, the lives of these Mafia and the crimes they were involved, he makes these people to be of such importance, people whom had less than high school education and committed some of the most monstrous crimes in this country such as Killing the President (JKK).
Watching Al Pacino with that cartoonish make up and hair, or the rest of the cast made me just feel embarrassed for these people that looked hideous like something you saw cartoon or Sat Night live parody. I urge you to back and watch "Dick Tracy" 1990 version that Warren Beaty made, see the performance and make up of Al Pacino as "Big Boy Caprice" is not as a comical as him playing "Jimmy Hoffa"...Lol I would still rather watch Dick Tracy than the Irishman, because to even cast Pacino as Hoffa was a joke to begin, he was a White Irishman, and Jack Nicholson in "Hoffa" was more believable than Pacino, first for the physical appearance and Nicholson was much closer ethnicity than Pacino with that weird accent and hairdoo that was you could not see any Hoffa in Pacino performance.
To me De Niro was just as comical with this CGI de-aging because he just looked as pathetic and hideous as Pacino. The dialogue was just repetitive and tedious. I can go and watch Good Fellas and Casino and enjoy them, but its the format of the film that makes it flow, I love slow films but the Irishman is not like watch Kubrick's "Barry Lyndon", where the film camera movement and zoom are slow for a reason to slow down time but the film still flows smoothly, with the Irishman you don;t know where it's going to end? there are so many scenes that it should have ended the film within 2 hours but how the studios would even allow or not question why this film is so long, filled with scenes that don't go any where, most of it just voice over with De Niro talking as if his character has any moral latitude to even feel sorry for that you care what he is even saying, compare to Goodfellas where the ending, when Ray Liotta is talking to the audience directly, it was unusual and different that grabbed your attention that his witness protection program was worse than prison because he was a no body anymore, but the film had a punch to it that a life of crime is a dead end but for Frank Sheeran he still had the priest to repent to? WHO the F cares?
This entire film was based on hype and the cast of these Actors who really should really be retired, I personally refuse to see another film with PACINO or DENIRO in. I just want to remember them in Godfather, Taxi Driver, Heat, but not this mess. I will say that the only reason I stayed watching this film was mostly for "Joe Pesci's" performance who not only surprised me but kept me interested to watch to the end, I would not be surprised if he gets an Oscar for that performance at the end in prison as the old man, that was just outstanding for someone who really has been absent from acting for so long.
