Worst Scorsese movie

Rating: 4/10 (26 January 2005)

When I watched this film I knew it would be the Oscars film of the year. It has all the ingredients but I don't think it's a good film. Any Scorses film made before this one have more personality. The aviator is well made, Scorses doesn't make any mistake (maybe too long) but it's such a very cold film. The character of Howard Hugues is great to make a film but in the end I didn't mind what happened to this man. The Academy must pay the debt with Socrses and it seems Scorses made the film just to win the Oscar. As for the actors, they are not bad even if I can't stand Cate Blanchett's affectation playing Katharine Hepburn. Leonardo Di Caprio is not bad even if he doesn't look like Howard Hugues and he seems young during the whole film. Consequently I think it's a well made boring film.
