Rating: 9/10 (11 January 2015)

West: The Wolf of Wall Street 9/10- Think of the best Leonardo DiCaprio movie you have ever seen, now multiply it by infinite and take it to the depths of forever. Now you have a glimpse at how this movie will play out. I have never seen a movie like this before, it is the most dynamic and energetic movie I have ever seen.
I do not understand why this movie did not get better reviews. Some people may have thought that it had no class and was vulgar with unnecessary language, but they should know that Martin Scorsese films have never just tried to be good while staying on the same line that all other movies do so that it is deemed acceptable to all. No, Scorsese sees that line and says the hell with you line, I will do what I want. He achieved greatness with this movie by doing so.
I guarantee that no one in this movie was playing themselves, but they fooled everyone. They could fool themselves to believing that they were these unpredictable, drug addicted stock brokers who broke every financial law in America. Leonardo DiCaprio is probably the one of the few actors in Hollywood right now who has been great in every movie he has been in. He just has the raw talent that is necessary to number one. He delivered the best performance of his magnificent career in this film playing the once legendary stockbroker Jordan Belfort. He delivered a perfect New York accent and the way he was able to show all of the different versions of the character he had was truly amazing. I have given this a lot of thought and I think this might be the best performance I have ever seen in the history of cinema. I honestly feel bad for Jonah Hill because he gave the best performance of his career as well but when you put him right next to Leo, Jonah Hill's performance looks like a first grade school play. Still, credit should be given to Jonah Hill because I firmly believe that only a few people could play this role as well as he did. Jonah's performance in The Wolf of Wall Street is a million times better than his performance in Moneyball. Aside from those two, who were really the only people who were in the movie consistently, the acting decent. I do not think that anyone else in the movie did a bad job, but when you have a three hour movie and someone is in there for twenty minutes such as Matthew McConaughey, it's just not memorable. McConaughey still did the absolute best he could with the screen time he was given.
The Wolf of Wall Street was not just some hard core drama biopic either. If you are a person, you will be nearly on the floor laughing throughout this whole film. Some jokes may cross the line for some people, in fact probably a lot of people, but if you anything about the real Jordan Belfort, this plot is an understatement. The one thing I will say though is that there are a couple of scenes that are not really useful to the plot or understanding the characters, but still, even The Godfather wasn't perfect.
I wish Leonardo DiCaprio would win an Oscar for this film like he deserves, but sadly the Academy probably will not give him one because it as I have said before, just crosses too many lines that some critics deem disrespectful.
Nonetheless, I believe that if you have a good sense of humor and are open-minded, I think this film will amaze you.
