Offensive to some, hilarious to me...

Rating: 10/10 (2 July 2014)

Director Martin Scorsese perfectly captures the excess of the Wall Street tycoon in "The Wolf of Wall Street" and Leonardo DiCaprio once again wow'ed me with an astounding performance as The Wolf himself; Jordan Belfortand then he was once again denied the award he so richly deserved.
I should have spent the money needed to see this in the theater or, at the very least, not wait so long after it hit the old RedBox because this movie is just fantastic fun! Sure, it's offensive and the dudes in the story are the type I would never hang out with (mostly because I couldn't afford their suits, couldn't keep up with drug habits, don't agree with their treatment of women and find their endless pursuit of money to be the lifestyle I actively avoid—I'm very poor, by the way), but all this aside, the film tells a great story of excess, greed and extremely loose morals and ethics but it tells it in a flashy, fun and, most importantly, funny way and done with tremendous performances from not only DiCaprio but the entire freakin' cast.
From beginning to end, "The Wolf of Wall Street" is a comedy that shouldn't be funny and a tale of greed and crime that shouldn't be entertaining. However, with all the awful things the story launches at you, the film is a lot of fun, super entertaining, perfectly acted, terrifically edited and filmed, has a great soundtrack and is funny as hades.
Why, hello there! Feel like reading more of my rants, ramblings, geek references, bad jokes and more movie reviews (including a more in-depth look at "The Wolf of Wall Street" and other films that could contain Jonah Hill proving that there isn't a role he can't pull off)? If you do, please hop on over to my blog; revronmovies.blogspot.com. If you don't, that's okay but all this guacamole I made for you is going to go to waste.
