Awesome but didn't need the 3 hours !

Rating: 8/10 (12 January 2014)

I saw the movie yesterday evening and i tried to go watch it without any expectations even though i've been reading a lot of reviews. I am from the Netherlands so all the swearing and nude stuff isn't that much of a deal to us ;). And in my opinion kinda exaggerated. The atmosphere in the cinema was great and the first 2 hours of the movie were great !! great performances. Leonardo DiCaprio shows ones again he's one of the big guys nowadays and able to carry a movie. Jonah hill shows he's outgrowing the teenflicks although he still is the funny guy. I would describe the movie as interesting, exiting, fun and with so much underlaying messages trying to describe a bubble-era in the financial world with the sky as limit prior to the crisis we've gone trough the past years.
Now for the downpart. I think 3 hours was too long. This movie didn't need the whole 3 hours to explain the story, be funny and a great movie. Pretty much after the boat scene it kinda starts to drag, this was also noticeable in the audience. less laughs, people got kinda bored at the end.
All in all a great movie but 2 hours would've been just as good.
first 2 hours : 9/10 entire movie : 8/10
