Scorsese Showing Signs of Senility and Hearing Loss

Rating: 7/10 (1 June 2014)

Martin Scorsese, one of the Truly Great Directors Working Today with a Filmography that is Very Impressive, is Out of Control on this one. He is not so much Over the Top as Out of His Mind. He has Lost Control of His Genius and is in Danger of Becoming Senseless.
The Approach to this Movie is, one Guesses, Dark Comedy. But it is not Dark. It is Brightly Lit, Colorful, and Witless Slapstick. The Film is Extremely Loud with a lot of Shouting. The High Decibels here are Ear Piercing Shallow Rants that seem like they come from a Middle School Locker Room before the Big Game.
These Masters of the Universe are Certainly Wordsmiths Worthy of More Creative Speeches. "Sell me this pen." is Vacuous, Stingless, and Flat. This Catchphrase for the Movie is Used Twice because Somebody, the Senile Scorsese, or the Screenwriter thought this was a Profound Play on the "Heart" of the Movie. Good Golly.
The Film Looks Great and is Peppered with those Things that has made Marty an Iconic Auteur of Acclaim. Like a lot of Familiar, Catchy Music on the Soundtrack and Hyper Editing that Rat-a-tat-tats to its Own Backbeat. This makes the Three Hour Movie move from Place to Place with Ease and Mild Enjoyment.
But the Movie is so Repetitive and, Yes, Repulsive that the Joy is Jaundiced Quickly and Viewer Fatigue is Forthcoming. The Cast of Familiar Faces are there for some Zip, but Most are Wasted and One Wonders Why They were there At All. In Fact, the Whole Movie Resembles a Parade. A Straight Line of Phalanxes Marching, Looking Snazzy and Jazzed Up but as soon as the Obnoxiousness Eye Candy Passes by, are Forever Forgotten.
Think of Matthew Mcconaughey, Rob Reiner, Jon Favreau, Among Others. Then there is DiCaprio, Scorsese's Replacement for DiNero, where here he just Drools, Barks, Growls, and Howls until You Pay Attention.
The Board Room Scenes are the Most Boring and the Rest of this Excessive Exercise is Shallow, Substanceless (meaning, not drugs), and when the Movie is not In Your Face with Profanity and Pussy, it Hardly Knows where it is or what is Attempting to Say that is Insightful.
