Why is the masterpiece 'Irishman' at 10??

Also, still can't get over the fact that in 'the grey man' they demolished a city without getting 5 stars, like multiple helicopters and the army. Biggest movie misstake there.

Because the audience for slow paced, character driven dramas is much smaller than the one for action, comedy, and/or romance.

you mean the demand for bad movies is higher than the demand for good movies :)

No, I mean that art-house snobs like to circle-jerk themselves with movies that require 3 re-watches and intimate knowledge of the history of an entire genre of cinema to understand, while the rest of the planet just wants something that will make them laugh/cheer/gush for two hours before they get back to their real lives.

;P

I have no problem with long movies and lots talking but just found that movie boring. I’m not the only one. Scorsese makes some excellent movies, in fact The Departed is one of my all time favourites, along with Goodfellas and Casino. The Irishman just felt like it was lacking something
