a great entertaining adventure

Rating: 10/10 (30 December 2004)

One of the best movies I have seen, the acting was absolutely outstanding. Despite its length, the movie moved quickly. DeCaprio played the part exactly as one would picture Hughes. He was exceptional with the psychotic episodes, from his youth to later in life. My husband and I truly enjoyed the film, which doesn't happen often enough! The only change I would suggest is to edit out a couple of minutes near the end-it started to get drawn out-but then it was over anyway. His personal life was fascinating, also loved the part when he faced the senate committee and turned it around to them-that was great part! The flight scenes took your breath away, felt like you were flying too. And the crash in Hollywood, felt like you were there when it happened. I had no idea he had been through something like that-no wonder he had so many health problems.
