A long length, but well worth it

Rating: 9/10 (12 June 2005)

This movie was quite long, but I was able to endure it. It was a great movie that shows the highs and lows of life. The scarlets were amazing, including: the sets, costumes, music, and flying stunts. Not your typical long bad movie. Gwen Stafani from No Doubt, looked great and didn't have a big enough role, but in any event she looked great. I thought the casting was really good from Alan Alda to Leonardo. Usually I try to avoid Leonardo DiCaprio movies like the plague, but he actually acted rather well. I hope a lot of Leo haters get to enjoy this movie, I really did. The casting of Hepburn with Cate Blanchett was right on the money. Her accent got more thick as she aged which was very realistic.
