What a surprise!

Rating: 8/10 (16 March 2005)

What a surprise! I had many doubts going to see "the Aviator" after watching " the gangs of New York". After watching the director and lead actor before I wonder why they ever would work together again. I was wrong, there is a chemistry the 2 have together. Great acting and directing. The movie does not seem to be the 2 hours that the movie is. Hugh's phobia towards germs is never explained. Can a phobia ever be explained? Alan Alda is great! Nice to see Alda in a different role. The Avaiator shows that graph and politicts have not changed over the years. Worth watching. I give Aviator a 8 out of 10. The movie show's Hugh's as a risk taker.
