Scorsese new and improved ( I think)

Rating: 9/10 (19 April 2020)

Was the De aging annoying? for me honestly No thought it just made some of my favourite actors look younger and make me feel better. Was it too long? Again I can see where people come from on this but there are several 3 hour plus movie masterpieces the godfather part 2 and good bad and the ugly come to mind quickly, this is just Proof we have become unappreciative to a sometimes slower paced but great movie, we want everything quick, fast and easy these days just have some patience for this beautifully shot and great story. I believe this movie takes the extra half an hour a goodfellas didn't or any other mob movie it shows the regret and conflict Frank has about his past how it ruined his relationships with his family and he didn't just have it all gold rings and lavish meals for most mobsters it was max 10 years of glory to then die Inbetween forty foot high concrete walls and this movie shows that. Great performances all round especially for their age , de Niro's stuttering phone call is a great piece of acting even though his age comes through it certain times , also Al pacino and Joe Pesci provide superb supporting roles
