Very good but it's not that type of movies I like

Rating: 8/10 (6 March 2005)

OK, I like Martin Scorsese's movies and I very much respect his work at all. I saw 'The Aviator' last night. Here is the place where I must admit that I don't like history and I am totally unaware of Howard Hughes's biography or any facts about him. In fact (it could sound like a joke to someone but...) I first heard and found out about that name (Howard Hughes) from this movie. So I can't tell whether this is close to the history or not.
I liked the directing and especially the acting. I don't like DiCaprio very much but I must admit that he is an awful good actor. Scorsese did a great job. I'm a big aviation lover and I enjoyed the flight scenes.
However it's not the type of movies I like. That's why I've seen it only once.
