One of the few worthwhile movies in a while

Rating: 6/10 (22 April 2014)

To me, the movie was quite entertaining. I believe the cast delivered their roles quite well, and that it portrayed the antics, manipulation and dirt of Wall St. in an entertaining manner. Leonardo DiCaprio pulled off that "rich young wide-eyed guy" role quite well, in my opinion. I did think they overdid it with the drug use, although there were points where it became quite humorous. The "antagonist" if you could call him that, did come off in the way he should have: a devotee trying to do his job, even if he did take it to a boy-scout level of douchebaggery (is that even a word? LOL). I did not think Jonah Hill fit in his role though, I think they could have chosen another actor with a better persona of what his character was. Will this movie be the next Avatar or Lord of the Rings? No, by no means will it ever be. Will this movie win any awards? No, by no means will it ever win any awards (perhaps maybe a small nomination, but no wins). It is also quite long, almost 3 hours. If sitting through a movie longer than 100 minutes is not your thing, then I wouldn't recommend this movie.
