This movie gave me a headache... Contains Spoilers

Rating: 1/10 (7 January 2014)

There are some movies you watch for escapism. There are some you watch for the storytelling.There are some you watch for the artistry and beauty. And then there are those that leave you thinking long after the credits have rolled because the message was so powerful. This movie was none of those.
For me, this may well be the most disappointing movie of the 2014( and it is only 7 days old!!!)if not forever, now having usurped the similarly hyped "Prometheus" and "Gravity"(but at least that movie was pretty). I found this movie to be 3 hours of nothing but a bunch of boys misbehaving and getting away with it - almost a "Wall Street"/"Jackass Movie" mashup. Excessive drugs, alcohol, sex and stupid people doing stupid things. And the swearing - so much swearing...
I have no doubt that teenagers and men who haven't quite grown up will love this movie. They will giggle at the foul words and gratuitous nudity. They will covet the expensive toys, the suits and the pretty females. They may even aspire to be like Jordan Belfort - and that's where this movie falls down. As abhorrent as this life and lifestyle was - it is glamorised in this movie.
Spoiler Alert!!!!
It is NOT OK to rip people off; it is not OK to molest/rape women (wives included); nor is it OK to smack them around; it is not OK to drive under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol. And most importantly - it is not OK to act like an idiot even if you have more money than anyone else in your delusionally perceived stratosphere.
I shall waste no more words on this movie except... Dire, just dire...
