Failed to awe, like The Departed and Aviator did!....

Rating: 10/10 (4 January 2014)

The Departed and Aviator had made me an absolute fan of Mr Scorsese & I had been looking forward to this movie with him as a director...
However, at the end of the movie, it failed to awe and move me as much as the Aviator and The departed did.
Now, Dicaprio is absolutely wonderful ( as always ::-))
But the problem i felt was in the direction. It was totally different from MR Scoreses's usual style...
I think he was experimenting with the 'reality' type style in this movie.... Like District 9, Paranormal activity...
1) There was very little editing (or so it seemed) - There were several scenes in this movie in which seemingly pointless conversations went on and on ( i noticed several people sitting around me, including my wife, falling asleep !!!!) ... Not at all Martin Scorsese's style!!
2) very appealing to guys who still find dirty jokes hilarious, but not too appealing for those looking for some mature stuff!! the debauchery and vulgarity DiCaprio and his friends resorted to, were the only high points in this movie---- no emotional scenes or any inspiring scenes as in aviator..... my point is - the vulgarity made us laugh , as if we were watching some comedy show,,,, and at the end of the movie we got up, went home and forgot about the movie,, no feeling of "WOW!!" or "MAN!!!" at the end,,,,, it was that kinda entertainment...
N that's why for guys who absolutely loved Aviator and The Departed would find this movie a tad mediocre...
