Not that good of a movie

Rating: 5/10 (3 March 2014)

I saw the movie Wolf of Wall Street and I didn't think it was that great like everyone has been saying it is. I saw lots of parallels between that movie and the movie Goodfellas (1990) from the same director - Scorcese. The same kind of voice-over, the same kind of characters, plot movements, etc. Scorcese was copying himself, which I thought was really really weak from such a renowned director. Like no original ideas in this one, just a lot of naked women added to it. I think the naked women shocked American audiences and made the movie be more remarkable here, but it's really not that good of a movie. The crooked shenanigans that the traders were doing on Wall Street stock exchanges to make tons of money so fast were phony and faked-very unrealistic and exaggerated. DiCaprio's acting was over the top, which I liked a lot that he could do that. That was the best part of the movie for me, was watching him.
