terrible film, tedious, unsympathetic, silly style, poor cgi.

Rating: 1/10 (23 November 2005)

felt moved to comment due the high rating that this film has.
This film is too long and seemed to be repeating the same points, in other words its directionless.
Characters are caricatured and so were hard/impossible to have an empathy for.
The styling felt forced and simplistic, adding to the films overall comic book look and after 3 hours ended up being very irritating.
The cgi, mostly the planes, seemed very obvious, even with the overall comic book styling, used apparently to hide these poor effects.
Howard Hughes' place in history was constantly being bolstered, as some sort of justification for the film as an historical document, it finished leaving me with the taste of some inept wartime propaganda film.
