I am a big fan of Martin Scorsese's movies. Goodfellas, is my favorite one. So, I was pretty excited about this one. After watching it I have mixed feelings. Not sure if the formula doesn't work at all, or I'm not the same person anymore.

First, the acting is fantastic coming from veteran actors. The average here is around 75 years old. On the other hand, I think Deniro's choice was not appropriate. He can't even kick asses (grocery store scene). I think Pacino should have been the main star. What a great actor.

Second, the movie's pace is extremely slow, like mostly Scorsese's movies. But what works in the 90's (Goodfellas) it does not work anymore. Martin should not expect audience from 2019 can stay 3h 20 minutes without getting distracted. It's sad but it is what it is. Even me (a fan) I couldn't watch the whole movie without get a little bored because of the slow pace.

Third, I really love the ambiance, and the execution. It is impressive. I got back for an instance to the 60's mobs world. Pretty real, not stupid Fx's. Also music and dressing is amazing too.

To sum up, a good movie for fans, but a wasted opportunity to make a masterpiece again. I think next time, Martin should go and get some cast from Peaky Blinders, like Cillian Murphy, and create a great Goodfellas 3.0.
