Leonardo DiCaprio Was Excellent- Movie leaves little

Rating: 5/10 (29 January 2005)

WAY to long. The ONLY good thing about the movie was DeCaprio's outstanding performance. He captured Hughes excellently. One thing the movie will be remembered for is DeCaprio's acting and his ability to assume a major role and run with it.
Considering Hughes was an unfortunate American tragedy, the movie lacked a lot considering its length. It was too redundant- flash bulbs- flashy '20 Hollywood. It would have been more interesting to have some element of focus on more of what exactly contributed/inspired Hughes as an aeronautical genius and movie mogul. One aspect largely ignored was his family, education, and what exactly it was that motivated him to produce movies, fly and build planes.
