I get mad when people touch my peas toodisturbingly mad.

Rating: 9/10 (2 September 2005)

In my opinion, out of the nominated films for best picture, The Aviator is the movie that should have won, along with Scorsese as director. The story of Howard Hughes is a fascinating one; on one hand, a forward-thinker and genius of aviation (among many, many other things) and on the other, a man crippled by obsessive-compulsive disorder. Leonardo DiCaprio is excellent as the lead and the movie (focusing more on Hughes' younger years) is an amazing, enjoyable watch from start to finish. Nice work with the CGI too. The commentary is decent, as are the other DVD extras. If you want to learn more about Hughes, the History Channel documentary on disc two is the thing to watch.
