Lowest Point in De Niro's Career


...or will it be topped by an even worse movie?

Seriously, I defy you to name a decent DeNiro picture other than Midnight Run, and, no, Casino, Raging Bull, Taxi Driver (omg, the worst), but you see the oddity is that these are all Scorcese pictures, ah, yes, the King of Comedy, too, and, if you haven't caught my drift, I defy anyone to contend that Scorcese can make a decent movie. My evidence is Gangs of New York, and the above freak shows.

Oh yeah, by the way, while the Departed stinks, it's at least watchable due to DiCaprio, and, as for Shutter Island, that movie is just abyssmal. Abyssmal.

Please tell me I'm wrong, but name a decent flick with DeNiro. I'll be waiting a long, long time. Oh yeah, how about that one with Cuba Gooding, Men of Honor, or what about, Cape Fear. Holy crap, the man's movies are just plain unwatchable.

And, by the way, Godfather also is pretty much a non-factor, being that I've never seen it, or any of them, and don't care too. Don't get me wrong I've probably seen the entire films, although I'm pretty sure never the third one, but never in one sitting. And, to top it off, the Deer Hunter, was never a good film.

P.S. My definition of a good film is that it's entertaining, informative and can be watched more than once. Only Midnight Run qualifies, and, truth be told, I tried to watch it again recently, and it didn't it for me, but I used to love it, so there I concede DeNiro was good in that one film. Good fellas, meh.

Okay, see there you go, Bronx Tale was quite good, so now DeNiro has made two decent flicks. Well, whooop-e-dee-doo.

Casino, Raging Bull, and Taxi Driver are all fantastic films, and I can certainly re-watch them.

Anyone, I'll rattle off a decent a title you didn't mention. Angel Heart.

you sound like you have poor taste in movies you yourself just named plenty of desent de niro movies so what's your point? that you can watch good de niro movies and still say they suck? that's a horrible talent and you need to go sit down somewhere and ponder why you dislike good films. you don't diserve access to commenting on imdb or atleast you should lose a turn in the game of critics.

oh and you forgot:

the untouchables
awakenings
backdraft
heat
copland
ronin
meet the parents
the good shephard

but what's the point you should know this man's history of being in good sh!t and the fact that you don't makes this whole response pointless.

"this confession has meant nothing" - patrick bateman lol.



p.s. - "Good fellas, meh."???? lol what a loser.

reply

seriously...what kind of an *beep* says Deniro hasn't been in good movies.

the ones you mentioned

the untouchables
awakenings
backdraft
heat
copland
ronin
meet the parents
the good shephard

are all good.

I also liked Godfather II, Showtime (don't get the hate on that one. *beep* makin POTS!?" that *beep* was hilarious. I LOVE showtime, I wanted a sequel SO bad.) Righteous Kill (really liked that one - I'll go to my grave saying the only reason people didn't like it was cuz it wasn't HEAT.) and Casino trumps SH*TFELLAS anyday. Sh*tfellas is only good for the first half - once Liota turns stooge the film sucks. Who really gives a rats ass about that douchebag SOS? F him after that point. The Score was real good, Analyze This and That, Shark Tale, Wag the Dog, JACKIE f'N BROWN!?!?!?! Mad Dog and Glory, Frankenstein, Angel Heart, Stardust, Raging Bull, Once Upon A Time In America, MIDNIGHT RUN? C'om - what an asswipe. Yeah Deniro takes paychecks but at least he does make good films inbetween. To say name one good deniro movie is ludicrous...although I wasn't a fan of taxi Driver to be honest (like Goodfellas people rank that as one of his best).






You Suck...now deal with it.

Probably although this isn't the first time he was in it just for the paycheck and it probably won't be the last.

Actually, I believe the lowest point was when Ben Stiller was inserting a syringe into his penis in Little Fockers. Personally, I don't think this film is as bad as most people are making out, although I'll admit it was never going to win any oscars.

Let's go inconspicuously...through the window.

Agreed... not good

reply

not that lowest i think but the good thing about this movie is dakota fannings performance...it brilliant..
