Love it...

Rating: 10/10 (28 February 2005)

In my opinion, The Aviator is one of the greatest films I've ever seen, comparable to The Taxi Driver, Martin Scorsese has really outdone himself. It looks as if the movie was put together of little pieces, like different news stories... It's up to audience to put together the big picture. Which I liked the best was the unpredictability of the script. It is impossible to know even what happens in 10 minutes, everything the cast says or does is a surprise. Leo does a fantastic job in the leading role, giving the perfect impression of a complex character. Also, Cate Blanchett is absolutely terrific. She shows Katherine Hepburn realistically, adding a little bit of humor. Special effects are incredible, they spice up the film but don't draw the attention from the script. The Aviator would have been perfect Oscar material, sad that the Academy felt the other way. Hopefully Scorsese makes other films and finally gets the long deserved Oscar.
