are the raving reviews for real?

Rating: 4/10 (6 December 2019)

First of all, GET SOME YOUNGER ACTORS. I was not fooled for one second that i wasnt watching 75 year old men pretending to be men in their prime. sure the cgi makes their faces look younger, but it also looks ridiculous and distracting, but its the way they talk, move, and carry themselves in general that makes it very clear they were very old men. i was having a hard time figuring out how old they are supposed to be because it was just so bizarre. second, it felt so forced to be like a remake of good fellas and not a movie of its own. the same sound track played in most significant scenes and felt so over used. third, and so many parts pointlessly dragged on (especially as the movie went on) they could have easily cut an hour out of the movie and it wouldnt have taken an ounce away from the story. only reason i am giving 4 stars is because pescis acting was great, and the story is good regardless of how pointlessly dragged out it was.
this is coming from a massive scorsese fan, iv been excited to see this since i heard it was being made almost 2 years ago, but it was a pretty big disappointment for me.
