    Overated and hyped by sycophants1
    Talk about self indulgence! Scorsese is obviously a good director but the problem is, he doesn't want to be good, he wants to be a legend!

    His fans will read stuff into the story and any forgive the boring script and mediocre performances or bad acting and put it down to just subtle direction with nuance that people like me will miss or just not understand.

    Every line of dialogue will be delivered with the gusto of these big name actors all fighting for the fallout grace of just being in a film directed by this legend, and on it goes until it's all acting and no substance!

    Everyone fighting for an Oscar like the musical director with a score that plays relentlessly possibly to keep you awake through this very long and mostly boring scenes. These are broken up with brutal slayings just to keep the gore hungry happy and inject some life into this tedious borefest.

    The ONLY good thing for me was to learn about the Osage people and the injustice they suffered.

    Yes
    YesLet's say you're reading these reviews and haven't watched GoT yet, but now that it's finished are considering the marathon. What's the consensus? In this case, the consensus is accurate, and that is:

    Seasons 1-6: outstanding. Deep world-building, intelligent dialogue, epic set-pieces worthy of Hollywood, expert acting, detailed plotting, genuine surprises, great soundtrack used sparingly. GoT is worth watching for these seasons, definitely.

    Season 7: you suddenly notice the writing and plotting has taken a sharp dive downwards in quality. There are inexplicable ideas, inconsistent characterisation and soap-opera dramas. But at least the entertainment value is still very high, so it gets a pass.

    Season 8: this drop chasms down to depths you didn't think possible. The writing has got so amateurish that the still-fantastic production values are no longer enough to save it. If you ever enjoyed Lost but were amazed at how bad the final season was, you're in familiar territory here.

    The biggest problem with the final season was it took us out of the story and got us thinking about its many weaknesses. We lost our suspension of disbelief. Fatal for fiction. It also ruined the series-arcs to the point where a rewatch of the entire series is pointless.
