More boring than a nil-nil draw made out of cardboard.....

Rating: 5/10 (26 April 2008)

I thought this film was a load of rubbish. The production values were very good, but that's about all.
I found the subject matter of the film was not interesting enough to make into a film. Howard Hughes was not interesting enough a person to base the film around.
I felt that most of the things in this film were unnecessary. By the time the film had ended, I was so glad that I would never have to watch it again.
DiCaprio is hit and miss, with me. He is not a great character actor, and so I felt he didn't fit the part. There was not enough depth to the character that was brought about by acting. I'm not saying that DiCaprio is a bad actor - just that he didn't fit the role at all.
This film is essentially one of the most boring things you'll ever watch. But trust me - it's nowhere near as bad as Gangs of New York. That has to be the worst film I have ever seen in my entire life. Think of this movie as Gangs of New York, but without the violence, and with Leo washing his hands every half-hour instead of trying to shag Cameron Diaz.
