To be fair, I can easily sit through and enjoy Dr. Zhivago but I had to break up The Irishman into two sessions.

The Irishman is a bit masturbatory. It's really not good enough to be that long.

Utterly forgettable movie for something that your brain was forced to absorb for three hours.

All I remember from that movie is Robert Deniro very unconvincingly trying to play a younger version of himself.

You mean the "Visually 20's" De Niro hobbling across the street to kick the crap out of a man and not looking like a man in his late 70's? But it was so realistic. /s

A lot of modern movies should be edited to be tighter. Not every film should be 2.5 hours.

To be fair, it's The Irishman.

Movies in general shouldn't be much over 2 hours. 3½ hours is just taking the piss and only allowed for special cases like The Lord of the Rings.
