I've gone to all of his movies and have been VERY disappointed with his last few efforts...Overly long in duration....I haven't been really impressed since The Age Of Innocence. He has IMO self-appointed himself as the modern day Orson Welles and it would seem as though the press has played into his fantasy....I like Scorcese when he steps out of his "comfort" zone...New York, New York...The Age Of Innocence...The Last Temptation Of Christ...The King Of Comedy...he HAS taken some risks in his directing career...I guess I wish he would push the envelope a little further sometimes...IMO I've seen enough "thug" & "cops & robbers" from him to last me a lifetime!!!!
