Go see Joker

[SteyrAUG]

So I finally got around to watching Taxi Driver after reading what you guys have to say about it, comparing it to Joker. I really didn’t care for it, I know it’s a classic and one of DeNiro’s first films but the dialogue was off, like film school disjointed and awkward. Joker was much better in my opinion.

Victim of time and place, even The French Connection no longer has the "impact" it once did. At the time they were two of the most red meat movies ever made, now you have to watch them as the period films they are.

I remember everyone talking about Mean Streets and how it was the greatest gangland movie ever made, I've never been so bored in my life and it was a Scorsese film. Give it another couple decades and people will talk about how Goodfellas was kinda slow and boring. Godfather only holds up because it was never intended as an "action" film and it's full of what are now called easter eggs.
