Too Long Not Enough Info......

Rating: 7/10 (25 January 2005)

I thought the movie was too long and only covered a short period of what I'm sure was an interesting life. I was hoping they'd go further into the time leading up to his death and maybe even include some insight to how he may have died. I had to watch a special on the History Channel that was less than an hour in length and had a lot more information and was much more interesting. Anyway the "special effects" were great and I though Dicaprio was good, but I think it would have worked even if it wasn't a "biopic" of Hughes. I went hoping to learn something about the man I didn't already know. I give this movie 7/10 stars for a great cast and a pretty good pace for such a long movie.
