Simply Amazing!

Rating: 10/10 (24 December 2004)

I've seen this movie two times, and I loved it. There are few movies that can keep you on edge for 3hrs, but I think Scorsese pulled it off. I don't think the movie is as good as some of Scorsese's earlier works like Raging Bull or Goodfellas, but was still enjoyable and should definitely be an Oscar contender this year. The acting was spot on, especially Cate Blancet portrayal of Katherine Hepbure.The screenplay was also very good, and didn't really need anything added to it to make it more exciting, since Howard Hughe's life was so incredible. And everything in the movie is just the first 47 years of his life, fitted into 3hrs. It is one of my favorite movies ever.
