Scorsese another good film but this one has no class at all

Rating: 6/10 (12 February 2014)

Scorsese has made some of the all time great American films and many are my favorite films of all time . The Wolf Of Wall Street has many similarities to his 90's masterpiece films Goodfellas & Casino with much action and fast paced storytelling. Also he has borrowed some black humor from his 80's offbeat films The King of Comedy & After Hours.
It's a magnificent performance by Leonardo Di Caprio but it's his Jordan Belfort character I don't like at all. I have adored other Scorsese male leads roles such as Henry Hill (Goodfellas ) , Ace Rothstein ( Casino) , Travis Bickle ( Taxi Driver) in controversial and violent movies they all are portrayed with an element of coolness and all you also have some compassion for.
Belfort is really a smart arse cocky guy you can't stand and I have trouble liking .
The Wolf Of Wall Street also lacks class and at times thought I was at a friends Bucks Party getting cheap thrills. I understand the direction is deliberately over the top for this over hyped character. There will be young film goers that will see this film thinking it's the baddest film of all time. With no respect to a Maverick Director
I could write more and more about this film but Scorsese please just one last film with De Niro and Pesci.
I still like this film but way to excessive
