Boring

Rating: 3/10 (20 February 2005)

Several Oscar nominees for that film? Scorses or Di Caprio must have good connections in the jury... To be honest, it's one the most boring and most dull films I've ever seen. After seeing it I questioned myself: what was it all about? Was this about a pscyhopatic man or a good businessman or what? O yeah I understand, it was about a man who we know nothing about, and it's a story of a man that leaves only questions behind. But the problem is: who the hell does care about who this man was? Scorsese didn't even touch my attention. The storyline can be described like this: Hughes has done this, Hughes has done that, Hughes was here and went there and he had famous girlfriends There was a time when he was a totally freak but after that period everything's fine again. At the end you see no real story, there is no real drama, there isn't anything. And this took 170 minutes. Di Caprios acting is absolutely middle-class. I really can't feel the madness of Hughes, there is no depth in the character. And besides that, I had the impression that this is a 16 year old boy and not a 40 year old man. Di Caprio looks like a 16 year old child...oh excuse me, his voice is just 14 years old. They shouldn't let him play old characters, it's too funny:)
