Why You're Wrong About The Irishman

Martin Scorsese is a legendary movie director who made classic movies like Goodfellas and Casino. His 2019 gangster film The Irishman bought together many classic gangster film actors like Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci and Harvey Keitel.

Though The Irishman was a critical success, many people do not like the film and found it disappointing. However, I feel many of the complaints against the film, which include the de-aging CGI or Robert De Niro being miscast, are not legitimate complaints, and I wanted to push back.
