A new standard

Rating: 10/10 (13 February 2005)

Very much wow! Yes, it may have been fairly long, but this movie was very worth seeing. Stylistically, this was clearly a Scorsese film. It was edgy, interesting, and had a good flow to it.
The casting was above par for a film of this magnitude, and all the characters were very believable, especially Leo's character of Howard Hughes. I hate to say it because I don't like him much as an actor, but I think this is bound to be the real pinnacle of his career. Titanic started the downhill slide, and this movie put him back on the charts.
As for accuracy, this movie did it right in all regards, especially with regards to Hughes and how completely insane he was.
Definitely worth "best of the year" at the Oscars.
