I'm no Scorsese fan-boy, but this is just excellent

Rating: 9/10 (12 June 2015)

Like I said, I am not a Scorsese-fan, really. Yes, he has made some good movies, but not all his work is worthy of all the praise it receives.
But The Wolf of Wall Street, now that is just one hell of an entertaining roller-coaster ride. Roller-coaster ride is such a cliché expression, but this movie is exactly that.
It pretty much starts at 90mph, and rarely lets up. There is cynicism, money, drugs, sex and lots of swearing. Leonardo Dicaprio is absolutely fantastic, and I don't even need to mention a certain Quaalude-related scene..? Awesome. The other roles are really good too, Jonah Hill is great.
This is possibly the longest, entertaining movie I have ever seen. It's about three hours long, and still it's not really too long.
That it's based on a true story of course sweetens the deal, as some of the stuff that happens is pretty wild. I also kind of like the mystery of not knowing what is true or not. (Some of it simply can't be true..right?)
There is something about these kinds of success stories that I find incredibly entertaining.
Everything is probably already said about this movie, so I shall say no more! It's awesome.
