A very bad film

Rating: 1/10 (1 March 2015)

This is a terrible film: simply 3 hours of shouting. It's repetitive; lacking in narrative or plot; no drama; no character development; no wit; no light and shade; no insights - in short nothing at all to recommend it. It's true that DiCaprio gives a good performance, but the totality of the film is so bad it's not worth watching just to see him. The great puzzle is how director Martin Scorsese with his track record could come up with this rubbish? The fact that it gets good reviews just confirms to me that people get dazzled by star names and directors, and lose their sense of judgement. I can't see any other explanation for an 8.2 IMDb rating.
