Di Caprio is excellent in this film

Rating: 8/10 (4 January 2005)

I thought that Leonard DiCaprio was excellent in Titanic, but has been less than spectacular in all the movies I saw him in since. But he has turned in another excellent performance in The Aviator. His gestures in this movie was excellent as well as his overall performance. His dark hair and mustache made him look just like Howard Hughes. This movie although long should boost Leonard's film career and he should be in the running for an Academy Award. I also thought that Kate Blanchett was excellent as Kate Hepburn as well as the rest of the cast. It was a pleasant surprise to see Leonard in a complex role. Go see this movie as it is well worth the price of admission.
