An Very Interesting Movie

Rating: 8/10 (22 October 2005)

I Found the Aviator very compelling to watch and enjoy, despite its length i felt it was perfectly paced and captured my interest very early on in the film. Some of the visuals in the movie are a brilliant demonstration of how to utilise modern effects and keep them realistic, and although used throughout the movie, at no time do they look out of place.
Great credit has to go to the cast, who all produced fine performances. In particular Dicaprio who captured Hughes's excentricity with imagination and conviction and Blanchett, who successfully brings Hepburn to life.
BUT
Scorcese has to take most of the credit for the film's success, he really does capture the audience with his stylish direction. This is not his greatest achievement, but its damn good.
8/10
