modern day classic written all over it

Rating: 9/10 (24 July 2009)

Can a biographic keep you entertained for 2 hrs and 45 minutes? Can Leonardo Di Caprio make a convincing performance of Howard Hughes? Yes to both of those questions. I'm sure most people know the story of Howard Hughes- I didn't know much about it at all, but no knowledge is needed to know about him. The scenes are amazing, using the most of its budget to give you the biggest bang ever. The acting is spot- on, especially with Cate Blancett as Katherine Hepburn. The accents, surprisingly, are not annoying and spot on. All I can say is see it- because you won't be disappointed. The soundtrack is fabulous, with brilliant costumes and giving you a brilliant film that feels like a classic, and will make you satisfied. 2 hrs and 45 minutes has never been more entertaining.
