One of the most underrated films of the 2000's

Rating: 10/10 (11 August 2014)

I do not understand why everyone hates this movie! This is one of Leonardo Dicaprios best performances. Cate Blanchet is also great as Katherine Hepburn. This film is so well directed and filmed by Martin Scorcese that it makes you feel like you are in the time period that the movie takes place in. This film has a very nostalgic feel to it. I especially liked how Martin Scorcese used music that matched the time period and filmed it using the color techniques that were used in the era this takes place in. It made the movie have a older feel to it like you were really in the time period. This is one of Martin Scorceses most underrated films. I especially loved the scenes that showed Howard Hughes directing movies because that sort of thing really interests me and it is cool to see how they did visual effects back in the 1920's. Any fan of martin Scorcese should watch this and anyone that is interested in Howard Hughes should watch this also. It does seem a little long and draggy in certain parts but it didn't bother me because i found this film so interesting. This is now one of my favorite films because it is beautifully directed and acted and it gives you an insight on early film making and on Howard Hughes and the people he associated with such as Ava Gardner and Katherine Hepburn. Bravo!
