Disappointing!! NOT Leo's best performance... He didn't deserve the Oscar for this role

Rating: 5/10 (15 March 2014)

I had been waiting for this movie with baited breath for quite some time now, because of all the rave reviews it had been getting globally. However, this movie didn't come close to meeting my expectations. On a personal level I don't like movies that showcase debauchery as it does play an important part in shaping the thinking of the naive. Plus, at almost three hours, it was too long. The highlight is obviously Leo who has done a brilliant job, but , came nowhere close to Matthew McNoughley or the guy from 12 years a slave,this year.It would have been easy to predict that he wasn't gonna lay his hands on the Oscar this year , if I had seen it before the ceremony, therefore all the frenzy over the internet created by his fans,seems too far fetched. He deserved it for The Aviator and What's Eating Gilbert Grape....NOT THIS. Martin Scorsese, well, a living legend.... I wonder why he chose to do this film. The final plus point of this movie was Jonah Hill and his chemistry with Leonardo DiCaprio. The guy was funny and pulled off his role pretty well. Oscar winner,Jean Dujardin, was absolutely wasted. The movie could have been much more crisp had they reduced the film by 30-40 minutes.
