So dull

Rating: Null/10 (17 January 2013)

I mean, Martin Scorsese has come out with some truly amazing films, the best being Taxi Driver. But this? Aside from having amazing set designs and costumes, there's nothing much else to recommend. Diaz and Dicaprio are pretty mediocre. Only Daniel Day Lewis is something great of course, having so much fun with everything happening and turning scenes into greatness. But even then I don't know if I would recommend this film really. I mean if you want to see all of Scorsese's work, go for it just to be complete. But it's definitely one of his lesser works, if not the worst. And in fact, his directing here is sloppy as well. This is just an overbloated mess.
