....I didn't like it. There was no plot. There was no literary protagonist. There IS a main character, though. When I say plot, I mean an objective that the protagonist is after from the beginning; Some kind of imbalance that they sense needs to be rectified or corrected. When there is no objective, there is no obstacles in their way, either. This movie is 3.5 hours of, just, things that happen and it never clues the audience in on the endgame...so there's also hardly any climax, either. Its just, this happens, then that, then that, then that...with characters you can't really call "likeable" or "rootable" I wouldn't have cared if DeNiro died at any given moment in the film because I couldn't connect with him.
Lost interest somewhere half way through, never really got the feel of what the whole thing was about, and the time jumps didn't fit in. Great cast and photo but this CGI youth serum thingy was kind of ridiculous and poorly made, or the effect itself was nice but when De Niro moving around as the 80(?) year old he is it doesn't matter if his face looks like 30. Like when he was beating up that shop owner and kicking him to the curb, it looked like he was using a walking chair while doing it :D This will probably be on of the most overrated movies for a long time, people will up vote it just because they feel they are supposed to like it.
Martin Scorsese has done it again, another amazing movie. It's long but moves at a good pace. The deaging is a little noticeable at fist but then I got used to it. The story is huge and epic in scale and deals with heavy themes. De Niro and Pacino are both fantastic but it was Pesci that stole the show for me, he was incredible. I want to see this again.
What an amazing movie. The end was so pitiful and haunting for the main character. There need to be more movies like this and less of cartoony superhero movies. I can see why some people don't like this movie. I am definitely not one of them.
