Very good, but not a "crowning achievement"

Rating: 7/10 (28 March 2016)

First off, I enjoyed this movie. I didn't feel let down by the cast, writers, or director at all. I'm reading a ton of lopsided reviews about this movie...it's either horrible or it's the best thing ever made.
So maybe I'm in the minority when I say, "yeah, it was good. I don't plan on watching it a second time though".
For the ones saying it's abysmal: There is no character that you're going to feel sympathy for, or feel is the hero of the movie. That's just not what kind of film this is, and you're better off knowing that going in (I did). The graphic nature of certain scenes were not out of place (there is constant vulgar language, and several scenes of graphic nudity).
For the ones on the flip side: This is NOT DiCaprio's "crowning achievement". He's good, don't get me wrong, but I've seen better performances out of him. That's not something I ever expected to be saying, but he's really developed into a phenomenal actor. I thought that Jonah Hill did a much better job than I expected, and that was a nice surprise.
My final verdict? Ignore 90% of the reviews on here, go watch the movie and decide for yourself. Trust me, there are well over a thousand reviews here and you'll be reading for weeks without any definitive direction.
