Another Scorsese film that I recently found awful. Like Shutter Island. Not the acting. The story is boring.

I watch movies for the stories. Some directors are very good at telling a story. The story, for me, has to touch me somehow, so that I come to care, or am fascinated somehow, so that I want to continue watching.

I kept wondering, What is supposed to be so good about this sh..ty flick?

Maybe Scorsese is overrated. He used to be very good, beginning with Mean Streets. I pretty much felt the same way about The Irishman. I cannot bring to mind one single image or scene from that film, yet I can recall scenes from The Age of Innocence, Good Fellows, Casino, and, of course, Mean Streets.
