Interesting biopic

Rating: 8/10 (6 April 2020)

The aviator is an exciting period drama on the early years of Howard Hughes. Yes this movie lost the Oscar to million dollar baby but this is Martin Scorsese's triumph return after a misfire film gangs of New York. DiCaprio is entertaining as the billionaire tycoon Howard Hughes. Cate blanchett is Oscar worthy as the beloved actress Katherine Hepburn. Alan Alda is good as the senator. Alec Baldwin is escapist as Juan Tripp. Kate backinsale is gorgeously handsome as Eva gardener. The scenes between Katherine Hepburn and Howard Hughes provide good chemistry but there's so much more to Hughes life this movie could've gone on for another hour. The aviator is determined about Howard's ambition to the aviation industry and the film industry which includes his relationship with Hepburn and his contribution war and sexism films like hells angels, Scarface and the outlaw. It also shows some of his obsessive behaviors with women and airplanes and his personal endeavors. The supporting cast is fun and Howard shores score is a blending epic. Aviator works as a entertaining biopic that goes on for a soaring three hours
