Awesome Camera Work, with not so good script

Rating: 4/10 (6 February 2016)

I came to the theater with so much expectation, because well, Internationally, It gets very high rating in many website. I should have learn my lesson. Sometimes several movie critics is just a bit clueless what it makes a good script. The camera work is outstanding I will give you that. But Masterpiece? You must be kidding. This Movie lack so many key aspect and element that makes a movie a masterpiece. The main element is a good script.
Too much style, but little substance.
The first act already have amazing setup and build each character nicely that makes us rooting for the hero and the rest. but the screenwriter somehow lost the plot at the second act (just like many other with not so good script has suffered), too many filler scene (the same circumstance keep showing. lazy writing) and Leonardo Dicaprio character become the most center character and we hardly see others character development (in which Leonardo Dicaprio's gain because it showcase his acting talent). This movie can scrapped into 1 hours movie and it won't lost the main narrative, that's how bad the writers has waste his 2 hours 30 min to make a movie more meaningful.
I will give the show credit for make the movie watchable just for the real setup that it's really look too real at the beginning of the movie (well, the writers really lost the plot because it's become ridiculous the more you watch it). If Only it can handle with a more capable screenwriters. such a shame. But Nice try by the way.
