A few years ago, this acting matchup would have had me salivating, but now...meh.

Sounds pretty paint-by-numbers. I guess we'll see once a trailer hits.

= J

yeah...what ^this guy said...

My feelings exactly.

Curran did We don't Live Here Anymore and The Painted Veil, both of which I liked.

Edward Norton hasn't stepped up since 2002. What a waste.

It was pretty meh the first time around too in The Score. No Brando this time either.

Interesting because I think that The Score gets better each viewing. I really really like it now.

I loved The Score & I'm excited about any new De Niro film so I'm ready for this....

It saddens me when I spend a couple of days glazing over this post on the front page, wondering if I should even bother to open it because DeNiro is such a shell of his former self.

Not really, He's still better than anyone around....
I've liked most of the stuff he's done lately....
He needs to be pick better projects tho....

I think this film will get people excited - I mean, really excited - if DeNiro, Norton, and the Picture get Oscar-nominations. That always packs em in.

When was Deniro's last Oscar nomination? What was the last Deniro film to get people really, really excited?

I would love to see Deniro have a career resurgence but I don't see it happening. Even Nicolas Cage is in a good movie every five years or so.

The Good Shepherd got pretty decent buzz. I really liked it, but most people found it boring.

I also hear really good things about his performance in Stardust, which I'll get around to eventually.

The last (only?) good Cage film for me is The Weather Man. Everything else is pretty ho-hum.

The Good Shepherd was amazing....
The only reason it didn't do good in theaters was because it's a very long film....

Very ignorant comment/person right here, Have you even seen any of his films the last few years? De Niro is doing fine, He was in top form for his recent film What Just Happened. I don't care what anyone says, I loved Righteous Kill. He was also really good in his supporting role in Stardust. Men of Honor, 15 Minutes, The Score, & City by the Sea were all good films. Plus his comedy work which it seems like the main genre he's focusing on the last few years is fine. I enjoyed Meet the Parents/Fockers, Analyze That, & Showtime. No matter what project he works on, De Niro delivers quality work.

While you still might enjoy his work, it seems pretty clear that his movies over the last decade or so haven't generated nearly the excitement or critical acclaim as his previous work.

There's nothing ignorant at all about the person or the comment.

You loved "Righteous Kill," and you are calling someone's taste in films ignorant? And "Men of Honor" and "15 Minutes" . . .

I am a Robert Deniro fan, but feel he lost his way somewhere in the early 90's and has become a shell of his former talent. I believe if he would choose more challenging scripts and talented directors he still has what it takes, see "Heat" and "Casino."

Sorry but you are very wrong....

Robert De Niro is my all time favorite actor & I own almost all his films on DVD. I'm sick of people talking out of their ass about him. Too many judge him when they haven't even seen much of his recent work. Guess what? I've seen it all & he's still the best actor around. He still does quality work & most of his projects are still pretty good. What ignorant about liking Righteous Kill? I thought it was very good & entertaining, It was my personal favorite film of last year, It only starred the two best actors of all time. It was no "Heat" but I still enjoyed it alot & I thought it was very under-rated/over-hated. Men of Honor & 15 Minutes were really good so what's your point?

How do you figure? Are you saying that audiences are just as excited about his recent fare like Righteous Kill as they were with Raging Bull, Goodfellas, Taxi Driver, etc? Of course not.

People aren't talking "out of their ass" about them. Everyone has an opinion, and the overwhelming one leans towards De Niro's recent work being far weaker then before. And you're on a movie forum, where many people HAVE seen a lot of his recent work. It's fine that he's your favorite actor and you enjoy all his movies. There's nothing wrong with that. But calling someone else ignorant for stating otherwise is silly, and a personal attack. Lighten up.

De Niro wasn't in 88 minutes....
And yes pjflyer sounded very ignorant in his/her original post....

I don't understand this, my reply wasn't ignorant at all....

Oops, fixed. And you keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. I don't see anything ignorant about what he wrote. It's pretty much true.

You're certainly acting very ignorant.
