Not worth it. Lacking, without soul.

Rating: 2/10 (15 June 2005)

A very artfully filmed (visual) and acted film. But, not worth the price for movie tickets, DVD, or pay per view. Wait till it comes on network TV. Do not get me wrong this film is worth seeing for those who remember when Howard Hughes was the richest man in the world. I it just isn't worth paying to see. The story fixated on Howard Hughes decent into madness and only briefly touched on all other aspects of this genius and his life. I don't know just what this film lacked, soul perhaps, but save your money for something, anything, better......
The acting was superb, Leonardo, Cate and Kate all gave worthy performances. But not enough to save the film.
If you ever saw a biography you would know that this film didn't even mention most of the most fascinating achievements and aspects of Hughes life. Ever wonder what happened to all those billions? They are still around. Every year 100 million are given to support medical research.
