Social media is flooded with diverse views and heated discussions after the release of The Irishman, with some calling the movie boring and others defending it.
The Irishman has sparked heated debates among the netizens, dividing them into two groups.
The American crime picture, produced and directed by Martin Scorsese, has just hit the screens on cinema and is also made available on Netflix now.
Although the movie has received a respectable rating of 96 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes, it has failed at getting the same response from the general public, and has got a rating of just 86 per cent from the audience.
Countless people called the movie ‘super boring’ and many weren’t just interested in passing out comments.
“I tried to watch The Irishman on Netflix. After 90 minutes I shut it off and put on the Knicks game. It was just a boring and long version of Goodfellas with actors 20 years past their prime!” a person tweeted.
“How come people are saying The Irishman is a masterpiece? Is it because it’s long and boring? Is it because its derivative and unoriginal? Is it because it has a long list of Hollywood names and no one wants to tell them it sucks?” he added.
One fellow wrote: “The Irishman was an overwrought, boring, unsatisfying mess. I think guys like it solely because they, and we, yearn for a great gangster flick.
“It had the tone, the story, h*ll even the actors and director… but that’s all it had. No heart. And watching those icons pretend.”
Another person said: “So I made my wife watch #TheIrishman with me expecting a 3.5 hour cinematic masterpiece and now I’m not allowed to choose our movies ever again. Man that was boring.”
Well, if you want to watch the movie by yourself but are afraid of its more than three-hour time span, one user even presented a solution.
The person made four segments of the movie so that people who are concerned about the length can have their concerns relieved.

The four ‘intelligent sections’ are made such that they amuse the viewer, compel them to get indulged and still leaves room for suspense and a thirst to watch the next part too.
Guess, that’ll work.
