Why do people like this movie?!

Rating: 4/10 (5 January 2014)

I don't understand why this movie has consistently been given high ratings. The plot can be summed up in 30 minutes, yet the movie is very long. An hour and a half is devoted to establishing Jordan Belfort's debauchery, but it is overkill. We do not need this many scenes depicting his lifestyle. The acting and cinematography are very good, but since it has these two aspects and no plot, it only has two of three very important pieces and does not deserve higher than a 66. Additionally, each time the movie is viewed, Belfort makes money. He is only required to give 50% of his profit to his victims, to whom he still owes millions of dollars.
