Probably the Best Hollywood Film of '04

Rating: 10/10 (3 January 2005)

A true masterpiece of our time and an instant classic for Scorsese fans as well as lovers of all great cinema, The Aviator delivers on every level; from its incredibly convincing, yet not at all distracting, special effects to its engrossing story of triumph and insanity. This is a modern day Citizen Kane, with top notch acting from both leading actors, Cate Blanchett, with her inspired portrayal of Katharine Hepburn, as well as the incredibly talented and compelling DiCaprio who, with this role, graduates from mere movie star to bona-fide actor. And, of course, no Scorsese film would be without unforgettable visuals; you'll never look at milk the same way again.
