I'm watching this now in 4K/Dolby Vision with Dolby Atmos on my OLED display with 7.2.4 speaker setup. Loving it so far.

I’m gonna give it another viewing this weekend to see if I enjoy it more than I did in the theater. Perhaps it won’t feel as long as it did at my theatrical screening.

I want to see it but it may take a while before I have 3.5 uninterrupted hours. I’m leaning towards waiting until I do rather than trying to split it into two or three chunks.

Hell, I watch most of my long movies at home that way.

The de-aging bothered me. Right away, in the first few minutes of the film, where we see DeNiro driving the truck. I don't think it was the fault of the technology or knowing that it was not a representation of what the actor looked like when he was actually younger.

Then what was it about the de-aging process that bothered you?

It looked unnatural. Not realistic.

I'm still sitting here thinking about it and where exactly to place my finger on the problem.

That's the right choice for this film.

If I start feeling like I’m missing out on A Moment, I’ll do it in chunks to join the conversation. Otherwise I’ll try my best to wait for the time. Thanks guys!

I thought it was a good movie, but, what do I know. I noticed some factual errors and I'm sure some creative licensing took place, however; I enjoyed the movie. Now, I'm going to bed.

There's one scene early on when Di Nero's character beats someone up, and it looked like someone in his 70s beating up someone younger than him.

I was going to mention that bit - it was so poorly done. His foot barely touches the guy. It was awkward to watch.

That's more of a problem to me than anything else with the de-aging process. Those guys still moved liked old men even with the younger faces.

Yeah, I noticed that scene too. That kick-down didn't look real.

Crawdaddy, what factual errors did you notice?

Ron,

After watching the entire movie, I didn't have an issue with the de-aging, but; those old dudes still moved like old dudes. The way they moved didn't match their ages in the movie.

The timeline to some of those killings. How the WTC looked completed and operational

Spoiler

during the Gallo killing when he died a full year before it opened.

Wow. I totally missed that. Didn't even notice the WTC in the background.

 

[Robert Crawford]

Wow. I totally missed that. Didn't even notice the WTC in the background.

I'm pretty sure most of the building was completed, but, the way it was lit up, you would think it was operational like it was 1979, and not 1972.

Spoiler

The WTC opened in April, 1973 while Gallo was killed in April, 1972. There were other timeline and event errors too.

That fight

Spoiler

in prison between Hoffa and Tony Pro didn't happen in prison. It happened in another place when they were both out of prison.

Go to the 6:40 mark and Scorsese talks about the movements, etc...

I'm sure the actors tried their best, but, when you're old, well, you're old.
