I tried watching this past weekend and I couldn't do it. Too slow, fight scenes were weird and awkward, and the CGI was horrible. I love Pacino, but I didn't think he was right for Hoffa. The movie was also a nice reminder of how stubborn Scorsese is. Using the same actors, not wanting to use younger actors for the flashback scenes, yet complains about the use of CGI in films. The funny thing is, Marvel and Disney offered to assist him with the de-aging tech/CGI since they currently are the best in Hollywood to do it. But because Scorsese was in a "I hate comic book movies" mood, he declined the offer and claimed he found someone who could do it better for less money.
Well, he was right about one thing. The creepy CGI proves he definitely saved some money!
