Most of the Critics of This Movie

Rating: 10/10 (29 November 2019)

Are revealing everything wrong with society in today's world, and it's tied to the fact that they are also Marvel and DC comic book groupies, as well as Star Wars Episode 73; The Rise of Leah and Episode 91; Jabba the Hut's Background Story anticipators.
Rather than respect these accomplished and proven great actors and the director for 5 decades of excellence and classic performances, they long for one of their B-list younger actors to have showed up and made an appearance. There is no respect for character or their elders. They would rather live in fantasy delusion of the Star Wars Empire and planets that don't exist, or live in a city like Gotham or Superman's city...again and again and again. They probably couldn't find Dayton Ohio or Philadelphia Pennsylvania on a map.
This movie isn't as fast paced for them as Fast and the Furious part 8 or the remake of Baby Driver. There's no zombies or dragons roaming around to cause them arousal. There's no Knight King and zombie death armies or villains wearing masks, costumes, or capes. So they can't get into it since their reality is too distorted. To compensate, they focus on attacking 3 of the "proven" greatest actors in the history of cinema for their superficial looks based on the CGI. They would rather have one of the young pretty boys who can't act but is a generic cardboard cutout who just came off of the casting couch play the younger roles. There's no respect for their elders, but only respect for The Emporer, Darth Vader, The Scarecrow, The Joker and whatever other 100th character remake they are looking forward to seeing.
Also, some of them don't even like Goodfellas that much, but they are citing it to gain some credibility to their review. They probably dozed off during Goodfellas at many of the quiet conversation parts and husband and wife scenes, but then they woke up for Pesci stabbing somebody and when they jumped the guy at the bar after insulting Pesci, and then they took a nap until the ending when Liotta talks to the camera. But that's it. They were never fans of these guys anyway, and just Goodfellas bandwagoners.
In summary, don't watch this if you can't appreciate a realistic, true story and great multi-award winning actors who are icons. This is for mature audiences only. It's a relatively mild-paced movie loaded with attention to detail, truly excellent acting performances, and it's based on a true story during the Kennedy and Nixon presidencies. If you are looking for Caped Crusaders, untalented young B-list actors who can't act, and some cliched horror movie, then you will surely be disappointed.
As for Scorcese movies, I will take this over the ridiculously overrated and overhyped "The Wolf of Wall Street" (just an awfully overrated and almost a bad movie), "Hugo", "Shutter Island", and yes, even "The Departed", which is the best of the four mentioned. The Departed was very good, no doubt, but for me, this is just better than it.
