Scorsese has been putting out classic shit for 6 decades now. the longevity is unparalleld. One of the best ever to do it. Enjoy it while it lasts. Directors like him are few and far between.
I will soon be the next Steven Spielberg
@@andreimcallister1365🤮
@@andreimcallister1365uhmm sure. You that proud?
Saw it yesterday, really enjoyed this movie. I left out of it searching up Lily Gladstone to see what else she's been in because I liked her a lot.
It hasn’t gotten a wide release yet, but whenever it does definitely check out Fancy Dance. She’s fantastic in that, arguably even better than she is in this.
@@darksoulsthanos9940Fancy Dance is phenomenal. Great shout
I’ve sat in a car for 10+ hours for a road trip. I’ve binged a series for 6+ hours.
A tiny 3 hour film got nothing on me. Can’t wait for this!
I agree. Get there early and hit the bath room. Movie are suppose to be an event. In earlier days they had an intermission. They could bring that back for longer movies.
Kids today dont have the attention span for this. I love these kind of movies
@@elchappo1320 honestly I'm 17 so you'd count me as one of those "kids today", but I didn't struggle with the runtime at all. Probably helps that I don't watch Tiktok and I read a lot, not all of us are the same!
@@Jack-iu7pwyou are very rare my friend!
@@Jack-iu7pwYeah I’m 19 and I am seeing the film later today. I have seen many 3 and 4 hour films before
We need more directors like Scorsese because cinema desperately needs saving. Glad you enjoyed yourself Cody! 🙂
Scorsese loves The Exorcist 2: The Heretic and thats a fact.🤗
No it doesn’t
@@andreimcallister1365 better Look outside because there’s been a whole lot of trash all 2023 lol
+LORDHASBECOMEABOVE
*"cinema desperately needs saving."*
🤦🤦🤦🤦
@@thealjohnsonshow2188 lol yup it’s the truth
It was refreshing to see DeNiro in a role that wasn’t Italiano made man kinda vibe, he had a nice subtlety to his intimidating presence. Lily Gladstone got me choked up more than once in this movie, can’t wait to see her do more
Even though it wasn't Mafia, I'd say Killers of the Flower Moon basically has the template of Scorsese's mob films: a bunch of crooks who have no problem murdering people to get what they want. The only significant thematic difference is the element of White supremacy, but even that wasn't emphasized so much that I could see. The movie emphasizes the greed of the White villains over the racism.
Honestly this is I’m competition as one of my favorite of the year. It was so powerful, yet so heartbreaking
It just edges out Oppenheimer for my favorite of the year
Nice Tool picture!
@@ChronicBreakdown thank you! 🙏
@@MrBooligan Same. Best movie I’ve seen this year.
When Cody is 80 i expect hour and a half long reviews
His spoiler reviews are already an hour…😂. I watch those also
Decided to watch this at home because I thought I needed to take a couple of breaks during the film. But I was so invested, I didn’t get up once.
Great review Cody. This movie is a very special piece of cinema. We enjoyed every minute of it and even though it’s inarguably long - I never felt the run time taking a toll on me. I was invested from beginning to end and I think it was very well paced.
Personally, I actually look forward to rewatching this based on the amazing performances. The wardrobe and set pieces were so phenomenal too. I think this is Scorsese’s best work. It’s my favorite film of his to date.
The performances were off-the-charts insane. Lily Gladstone launched herself straight onto the A-List with this one
This film should be required viewing for high school students. Especially with these book bans happening.
William Hale in this movie is one of the most evil and intimidating characters I’ve seen in fiction, and he was real. Amazing movie.
This is non fiction
@@phoenixmagi2he said "and this was real." He's clearly aware of that. He was being ironic
@@JaceDeanLove does not matter his sentenace makes no sense because this is non fiction.
I've been saying we need an overture and an intermission because of some long runtimes with a 3 hour plus movie. Will see this when it hits streaming to treat it as an intermission
you are allowed to get up and go to the bathroom for 1 minute. it’s not going to ruin the movie for u.
@@daltonvalero2772 I know but I'm just saying with some people having SAS and something, there's a moment in the movie where you can put an intermission in between if not by director, they could probably stop the movie and give everyone a break in theaters. Intermissions can work for a movie like this. I'm not trying to say I can't handle it or anyone else can, I'm just saying an intermission for some of these longer movies ain't gonna hurt nothing
Hard disagree.
Idk what it is but Scorsese has a way with his dialogue and actors that cracks me up every time. Joe Pesci and Robert De Niro are golden in Scorsese films lol
Lilly deserves a best actress award
This was one of my favorite movies since Oppenheimer the movie didn't need to be long though
“I loved this movie so much, but I wish it was shorter!”
Wut
Would you possibly do a review for Carlito's Way at some point?
Just read the book so I'm excited to see how they portray the history of what happened.
I agree on the movie lengths, as much as I like Oppenheimer, towards the end I was looking at the time to see how much time left , because I feel like they could of cut some scenes from the films because I feel like they're were unnecessary.
You’re really good at what you do 👏
I usually watch all new releases in IMAX but this one I'll be watching at theater with reclining seats
Masterpiece. It's my 3rd or 4th favorite from Scorsese and Scorsese is my favorite director
What are your top 3? I love his films too.
Think this might be one of the best reviews you have ever done Cody. Fantastic points and agree with virtually everything you said
Grats Cody, Glad your discussing this for the subscriber's. Much Appreciated
That was the best opening one liner ever, LOL! Looking forward to this one, but I know I'll have to run to the restroom, haha!
I already wanted to see this movie, but your review makes me even more interested in seeing it.
Well done
Regarding the worry about the runtime (haven't seen Killers of the Flower Moon yet), I'd share the share sentiment if I didn't sit through a 3-hour long Avengers: Endgame, a near 2-and-a-half-hour long Spider-Man: No Way Home, a 4-hour long Zack Snyder cut of Justice League, a near 3-hour long The Batman and a near 3-and-a-half-hour long The Irishman.
But, because I have sat through those films, long runtime and all, whenever I see a critique of a movie's runtime being in-between 3 to 4 hours long, I give people/comments the stink eye, because why wasn't the runtime a concern then?
I get people will have different levels of tolerance when it comes to film, but don't talk about the length of the movie worrying you if you're still gonna go in and see them.
Maybe, that's just me? I don't know. I do know that I'm cautiously optimistic to see this movie regardless.
I agree. Runtime doesn't matter unless I watch it and, in hindsight, think they could have cut some scenes down. (ie: it felt bloated). I would never not see a movie because of its length.
I was initially put off by the run-time for this one but reviews have been so good that I started considering it. I was seriously no shit hoping that you'd review this movie before the weekend to help me decide and I'm going in it looks like. Your review style appeals to me a lot because you sound like a big movie fan as opposed to a big-headed movie critic so thanks Cody.
4.5/5. I’m native (Choctaw) and I feel like I can see people at certain points having to walk out just for a minute or two to breathe. Didn’t really feel the runtime. DeNiro is CHARISMATICALLY EVIL in it
Awesome movie saw it tonight🤟
You hit the nail on the head!!! Every part of your review I saw it! Great Movie!!
You describing how the villains operate here reminds me the most of how Jimmy Conway dealt with most of the heist members in Goodfellas.
Great review, you should definitely do a Scorsese ranking at some point !
I can’t wait to go see this tomorrow. Continue the good content Cody! 👏🏻
Great job Cody! I can totally respect your opinions. Would love to see you do a Scorsese review series and ranking
Look after coming out of the theatre yesterday looking like Dumbledore, only a day has passed and he already gotten younger. I bet Chucky wants to know how you did it.
My favorite part about this film was the murders.
I thank all of you for watching the movie. I'm Osage that lives in Illinois. It will take me a while before I watch the movie. I didn't know about this until I read the book back in 2019. I don't know if they showed this in the movie yet, the evil characters portrayed in this movie died as free men.
Cody this is an excellent review
Saw the film tonight, there were subtitles throughout! I think the theatre you went to royally messed up!
I loved it and was so sucked into the film I didn’t mind the length
For the record Cody, Deniro is absolutely a villain in Raging Bull!
Robert Deniro’s character in this film reminded me of Gus Fring from Breaking Bad.
Love it! The best so far. Oscar indeed
I must say the Killers of Floor Moon really impressed me. If there was one movie that had an impact on me from last year it was this one. Yes I was impressed by the craft of Anatomy of a Fall but Killers of Flower moon was definitely moving.
Heart wrenching and sad but deeply profound Killers of Floor is a classic. I am shocked but this was a movie that should have had a chance at best Picture Oscar. But this is unqualified success from Scorsese who at 80 plus can still make a movie with superb human drama. And most importantly he got the correct feel of the period.
And no this movie does not test your patience. Yes you feel the time because obviously its 3 hour plus but your patience is never tested. But what is achieved by this movie is that not only its one of the rare movies about the Indian community in USA but also superbly well acted and directed.
I give Killers of the Flower Moon an 8/10. Watch this movie. Its really good. I am shocked that people said this movie was in the Best Pictures category to make up numbers. If I were an Academy voter I would be seriously considering which to choose from this and Anatomy of a Fall. And even for Lily Gladstone and Martin Scorsese not winning in their categories is a surprise. I mean Lily Gladstone had a tough competitor in Sandra Fuller but Scorsese should have won. The depth, the nuance, and authenticity he brought to the movie was incredible.
Dont forget to also look up the Tulsa Race Massacre that took place in Oklahoma in 1923
Bro! I was wearing that shirt yesterday!!! Hell yeah! True Romance fans unite🤙
GREATEST INTRODUCTION TO A MOVIE REVIEW HANDS DOWN😅
The departed and goodfellas...are the two best scorsese movies.
I was titering whether or not to go see it because it started at 8pm and ended at 12 but I'm glad I did.
Do you watch things sped up at home ever? I watch almost everything at slightly increased speed at least, sometimes at much higher rates of increased speed. Do you do that when you want to rewatch a movie like this down the line that is super long?
This movie is Cinema with a capital C.
Question, I'm not sure if you do this, but is this a movie that you think will have like 5 to 10 minutes sequences that you will likely watch independentaly like a UA-cam clip because those movie tend to stick in my mind more and I rewatch more and not watch the whole movie or is this a movie where to really get a lot out of it we need to do the full sitting
The movie builds emotionally over the course of the run time with a lot of characters. It has great scenes but they won’t have the same impact without the context.
I agree with you on the rewatch value. It definitely doesn’t have as much rewatch value as casino goodfellas or the departed. But i definitely want to watch it again.
This is not my type of movie but I Can’t wait for your review of never hike alone 2
I'm fine with long movies but i wish we'd have intermission some times.
Great review this is my favourite film of the year I was pretty intimidated by the length before watching but I was hooked every minute I don't think I'd ever watch it again though.
Dude this movie was fucking amazing
At least Scorsese didn't take liberties. He told an accurate story from all I gathered and whether you like the film or not you got to respect that. Most films don't. Understandably so cause it's entertainment after all. But refreshing when a film like this comes along. Martin making this movie is akin to Spielberg making Schindler's List. A brutal pull no punches historical film.
Conversely, I think he missed a lot. I won't write an essay, but I just watched Alachia Queen's review and she explains much of the absent history.
Freddy beat Jason...say something..
@@JarodM clearly you didn't see the ending the rest of us saw.
@@jasonvoorhees310 Nah, didn't see the movie.
@@JarodM ok then. So you don't know who won. And I just spoiled it for you.
They need to bring back the "Intermission" for movies this long. (Last one I ever saw was during Born on the Fourth of July).
I found Oppenheimer so stale and I hated how Oppenheimer seemed like a slow film but Nolan keep cranking up the editing, sound music to shout “hey look epic”. But while slower I loved killers of the flower moon cause it really felt quieter, steadier, better directed and less gimmicky.
Very good point you make. Scorsese is a wayyyy better filmmaker than Nolan. I always feel like Nolan is trying too hard to impress where Scorsese is a more effortless storyteller. It all comes so damn naturally to Scorsese. He’s one of the rare greats for sure!
I don't think Nolan is trying to impress but moreso surprise. It seems like he wants to have the audience have an aha moment and he definitely relies on interesting visuals. I much prefer comparing someone like Denis Villeneuve to Scorcese and think Villeneuve comes closer to matching Scorcese's skill.
Great review. I've been waiting for this one to come out, and this makes me want to see it even more. DeNiro is always excellent, but he hasn't had the best roles in recent years. This one though sounds like it breaks that pattern.
I saw it last night and barely made it to the end before I had to run to the restroom as the credits started to roll. 😂😂 Great movie, though. I liked it more than The Irishman.
Imagine how long the Directors Cut is going to be.
72 hours
This the director's cut, Scorsese has full creative control, he isn't zack Snyder or Ridley Scott
Something akin to a miniseries
“Quiet, confident evil” really is terrifying. Thanks for the review Cody.
When would you say would be a good time to go to the bathroom because I already know I’m gonna have to pee. Probably twice if I’m being honest.
Honestly there isn’t a great time to use the bathroom so I just didn’t drink anything so I wouldn’t have to.
I went during the funeral of an elder Osage character and didn’t miss anything
One of the best movies of 2023 the performances by Leonardo Dicaprio, Robert De Niro and Lily Gladstone amazing
I'm planning to see it this weekend. The 3 1/2 run time is an issue for me too; I have to make sure I go see it on a day off from work. I'm going to try not to buy a soda when I go see it, because I'm always having to run to the bathroom once, sometimes twice, and I miss part of the movie. When Quentin Tarantino released "The Hateful Eight" a few years back, he insisted that there be a little pause in the film (he called it a piss break) for the theatrical version around eight or so minutes long, which I thought was really fair.
Will you be doing a Martin Scorsese Films Ranking?
I felt like most of the non-subtitled scenes were set up pretty well. Like it was obvious Mollie and Ernest were having a spat about her not wanting the doctors to administer the insulin because of the way the scene played out prior to the conversation.
Had to use the bathroom twice for this one. I don’t have a bladder of steel. Great movie though!
I loved this movie! One of the VERY few movies I would consider to be a perfect movie in terms of how it was made… but I will probably never watch it again
Read the book.. definitely explains a lot.
Haven’t checked it out and probably won’t any time soon, but I will say at this point in his career AND his life, Scorsese gets a pass to make his long ass movies. I respect it even if it’s not my thing.
And yes, you’re right about some of the best movies being long. Forrest Gump is one of my all time favorites and it runs around 2.5 hours, but I never feel the runtime because of how it pulls me in every time. It’s just a subjective thing based on what impacts someone. For example, Jenny’s storyline in particular brings out all the emotions in me because I had my own Jenny. Luckily, there’s enough good surrounding it that doesn’t totally exhaust me emotionally.
Another example Titanic!
@@jimcameron1234absolutely! Again, it doesn’t personally impact me but I know it has the same impact on a lot of people that Forrest Gump has for me.
They’re all just top notch movies that had real passion and research behind them.
I’ve seen 3-hour movies that fly by and 90-minute movies where I’m constantly checking my watch and wondering “when is this thing going to f’n end?” I find blanket statements about runtimes dumb because it’s all relative to the quality of what you’re seeing.
@@bobcobb3654I agree!
The length is a big deal. It's going to turn a lot of people off. It's going to cut down on available showings. It's going to hurt the box office and make it harder for good films like this to be made. This story could have been told just as well in a far shorter vehicle and I wish they had done that here. For instance, how many times did we have to see Molly get that "insulin" shot. I went with some friends and their idea was that the movie opens with the court scene and then tells the story (albeit in briefer fashion) through a series of flashbacks. I think that would have been a lot better way to tell this story.
Bathroom break? That's what empty popcorn buckets are for.
I don’t care about movie length. If a movie needs to be three plus hours it needs to be three plus hours to tell the story properly.
This will be on Apple TV soon? I’d love to go to theater but I’m a newly single Dad, hard to get away for four hours.
So this film is like what I thought Scream 6 would be, where we are on the pov of the enemy
Fantastic review. Such an anticipated movie. Here's hoping you're on John Campea next. You definitely deserve it.
Will you ever do a Fright Night part 2 review? My wife and I just finally discovered it!
Maybe one day. I don’t see John coming across my channel anytime soon but maybe I’m wrong.
This they couldn't split up, but Twilight..!
This movie didn't feel 3&half hours I been engaged the whole time
I'll have to check your Irishman review if you made one since it's also beyond three hours. I also dislike when movies don't have subtitles for all of the foriegn language dialogue. Silence was like that in certain spots
Great movie and for me Martin Scorsese nailed the ending 9 out of 10
Can't wait to see this !
I saw it today it was epic 🥵🤯
Agreed with mostly everything here. Had to use the bathroom too but I think I did find a slow moment. Only thing I would add as a negative is that Brendon Fraser was completely wasted in this movie. They gave him almost nothing to do and then had him do it at 500 mph.
This movie was suppose to release on Apple TV +. I’m surprised it had a theatrical release.
They went theatrical to qualify for the Oscars.
Awesome, can’t wait to see this.
It’s alright it’s no dances with wolves
I am pretty sure saw a TV movie or miniseries about this event that was told more like a Murder mystery. It was many years ago in the 90s or late 80s
this was a good review
This movie was a shocking disappointment to me. It has all the trappings of a brilliant historical epic by Martin Scorsese, but the drama is almost as inert as it is unbelievable. The film rushes so quickly through the courtship between Dicaprio and Gladstone that I don't even understand what she ever sees in him, let alone how her love for him should prevent her from realizing the fact that he's involved in the murders of hundreds of people in her community, including her siblings. And does it really benefit the drama for Scorsese to provide the whole setup right off the bat? I don't think so. So much of the rest of the film feels extremely drawn-out and redundant, especially when it hinges mainly on the FBI trying to figure out what we already know, and then the question of whether DiCaprio will turn on his uncle. I honestly don't know what went wrong here, but Scorsese's latest is unfortunately his worst (that I've seen so far; I've only seen ten of his films).
Really loved the movie. made me think a lot about the evil in humans, and all the atrocities commited against the original peoples. in terms of length, in the past there were breaks in the movies. you could go to the bathroom and eat in the middle of the movie, but nowadays that does not exist. it should happen again, and that would make long featured movies easier to watch in the theaters
Movie was incredible. Hard to believe people this evil existed in real life
Sadly there still are people like this!!
Im glad my marathon training kicked in. Im able to hold my pee in for hours. Lol😂
I didn't like the cut away from the courtroom for the ending..it felt like they ran out of money and said let's just do this instead.
It’s a recreation of the lucky seven radio hour show, it was absolutely brilliant if you understand what it was depicting.
Loved seeing it and was blown away of what an interesting true story it was
Sounds like a tuff Watch like when me and the Wife used to watch The Walking Dead lmao
Great review.
This movie could of been a Great TV series
I heard that some theaters do have intermission
In Europe they do
