Leonard DiCaprio gives stellar performance

Rating: Null/10 (28 December 2013)

Wolf of wall street like any other movie based on true events was totally blow out of proportion. Even though the movie was filled with funny and very entertaining moments the film in my personal opinion was killed with the over the top explicit and borderline pornographic scenes.This is why I gave this movie a much lower rating. I came to watch a movie, not a movie without these kind of explicit "party scenes". Leonard DiCaprio gave a stellar performance and Scorsese made a fabulous film. I just think that they went a bit too overboard with the length of the movie. The movie was way too long, 3 hours was pushing it. It was a movie that shouldn't have been longer than 2 hours. Totally lost one hour of my life since they were filled with pointless party scenes or something similar. I got the point of the way they partied based on the first one. In the end after 2 hours, I totally lost interest and couldn't wait for it to end. The party scenes were way too many and over the top, shocked they didn't show someone getting a heart attack. I did like how the movie started and ended, gave the movie a head and a tail and made sense as to why it started the way it started. They needed to be a bit toned down, it made me think how far apart were erotica films and normal cinematic films. I would like to cite a sentence from Tropic Thunder "never go full retard" I feel like the movie at moments went "full retard" Great movie worth the watch but too long and over the top party scenes.
