Scorsese is God but this is rubbish

Rating: 4/10 (1 March 2007)

At the time of reading, this movie has an 8.4/10. You're joking. The first half is relatively gripping (7.5/10). The second half is absolute tripe (2/10). I was thinking how an all-star cast could be clowning around the screen looking like 1st year drama school kids (Damon and DiCaprio especially). Without a doubt, it's always the directors fault to ruin such a great cast (Star Wars 1->3 all over). When I saw it was Scorsese, I was shocked. This sent me into a stupefied state of melancholy. Scorsese is God but, by his standard, this is rubbish. Re-edit the second half by half and that could certainly salvage it. Remove the self-indulgent buffoonery by DiCaprio and his chum Damon, who especially can do so much better.
