No.1 Most Needless Movie

Rating: 1/10 (2 March 2005)

Hello everybody, my name is an Average Movie Fan and I am here to offer you something that could save you, maybe not life, but at least an evening, to say nothing of ten bucks or whatever you'd leave at the box. I'm giving you my most sincere advice - forget 'Aviator', just stay at home, meet friends or take your date someplace else.
I have seen lots of movies, good ones, poor, bad, as-bad-as-it-gets, or even so-bad-that-even-good. I have seen movies that made me think, laugh, cry, or sometimes yawn. I have seen movies that I could view lots of times, that I saw once and that's enough, or movies that I felt had to pull out of the theatre to save at least my time, money being spent. But I have never seen something like 'The Aviator' being shown as a movie, for money, in a cinema.
You have read other comments, so you might have a general idea what this movie is. For me, the worst is not that the film is poor, plot is knotty (... wait a second, is there really ANY plot?), actors except for Blanchett and Law are much unappealing, screenplay reminds of an encyclopaedia, a biography and a playwright's handbook for beginners thrown into a blender. It's not that it's much too lengthy, dull, boring, bland and tame. It's all that I CAN SEE NO REASON NOR IDEA BEHIND THAT FILM.
People make movies for various reasons (ok, cash and/or fame, but that's everyone's material goal, so let's skip it). In every possible way, 'Aviator' fails. Each and every one.
Was it to entertain? I yawned at the 'how to live with OCD' part, my wife at the 'airline tycoon' one. And we both were equally bored at the romance parts, especially dialogs. Dialogs' bad, very bad dialogs.
Was it to honor Hughes? To present story of his - AFAIK quite fascinating - life? Failure and collapse - know no more, than I did before.
The 'can live with OCD' part is equally exaggerated in picture and poor as apart of HH image. And thank you, I saw Jack Nicholson as a man with OCD. Leo is just a journeyman.
Sincerely, I spent already twenty minutes typing this comment, and still have no idea, what keeps me doing so. If it's that bad, should just forget this. But there's something irritating me in this movie to unbelievable extent. It's like using a microscope to hammer nails. It's like buying a corvette and never driving it. It's like giving answer when the question has not been asked yet. It's like carving a poem on a grain of rice, or like world championships in "Minesweeper" game.
This movie is just for nothing, about nothing, will give you nothing. It just shouldn't have happen.
The only reason I can see could be only an error in the matrix.
