Expected 8 (Scorsese) got a 6)

Rating: 6/10 (14 April 2018)

Went into it having delayed many years of "saving up". Because dir. Scorsese and actor starring is Leo.
Turns out it's quite a boring pic, none of Scorsese's flair is really demonstrated, Leo seemed to pull some very familiar faces that reminded me more of him in other works than a convincing Howard Hughes (ESPECIALLY) lacking the Texas drawl. The 20s vibe was played up but doesn't interest me much at all. The flight CGI scenes were terrible (both looking painfully cgi and the flight paths behaving very uncharacteristically- blame my too many hours in war thunder). The scars post accident didn't look very good.
Katharine Hepburn's actress was extremely good.
