Not as good as Goodfellas or Casino

It’s a slower burn and not nearly as violent. Casino is 3 hours but moves at a cracking pace and keeps you awake with several sudden burst of extreme violence, usually courtesy of Pesci, of course.

Scorsese can still make electric films, as we saw with Wolf Of Wallstreet, so I kinda liked the change of pace here. It was more like a Godfather flick.

THATS VERY WELL PUT...IRISHMAN IS GOOD,BUT NOT THAT GOOD...ITS RACKING UP EXTRA POINTS BASED ON THE GOOD WILL OF THE OLD DUDES INVOLVED AND THEIR HUGE WONDERFUL CAREERS.

Goodfellas and Casino, although the story lines are pretty messed up, were fun movies with interesting characters.

The Irishman, Frank Sheeran, was just not that interesting of a character.
The supporting cast was just as non memorable.
(Just want to point out, I didn't hate the movie, I watched it in one sitting, I wasn't bored or distracted, but at the end, I just felt like, well okay. It will not be on anyone's re watch over and over again list.)

Side Note: I love Casino. If you haven't please watch the edited version of the movie. The words used to not say curse words is just hilarious.

I actually prefer it to those movies, and I do like both those films.

But I'm weird when it comes to Scorsese's filmography. My top choice is Silence, and I tend to rate Gangs of New York a lot higher than most other Scorsese fans.

I’ll never watch it again. Completely forgettable.

I’d take it over Mean Street and Raging Bull (I wasn’t a huge fan but I realize it’s a classic)

Can't imagine it's anywhere near as good as those two or the Departed or even Black mass. Not sure I need to watch another rehash of this same old shit. Is it worth it?
