I like that they let him have the run time he wanted but ffs, I bet even he knows it dragged on way too long for it’s own good.

Some people don't think twice about binging a ten hour miniseries in a single sitting. But a three hour movie? That's too much.

It’s closer to 4 hours. Movies are a different media to tv, they’re made completely differently and they’re supposed to be. Saying that, it’s not like I didn’t like the movie but it undeniably dragged

you are 100% correct, there was way too much fat in the film, I kept thinking "get on with it already"; they fat really culminated in the scene were De Niro is flying to Detroit (I believe) and Scorsese held on the plane leaving for what seemed to be forever. Personally, I felt the entire movie was self-indulgent and could have been much better if he reigned in his excess.
