Not a theme park ride

You may or may not be aware of what Scorsese has said. And you may or may not agree with what he is saying (let's not forget he made this movie for Netflix, but then again I reckon he would argue, he wanted to get it made and they promised to show it in theatres too). If you like his overall output though, I do hope you can watch this without judgement.
I am a fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but I can also appreciate a movie like the Irishman. Seeing Pacino and De Niro together is a treat. But one of the underappreciated performances in this one is Joe Pesci! Especially if you watch Goodfellas and this back to back, which I sort of did (the former at home and Irishman in the cinema).
The runtime never was an issue, even if I was vary beforehand, I never felt it. Yes you can tell it's a long movie, but it never gets "boring". Though to be fair, some have a different threshold concerning their attention span. Whatever it is, the movie itself is not at fault as is. If you don't like it, it doesn't mean you are wrong either. It's always a matter of taste ...
