Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

rai-15799 People with serious OCD issues are going to agree here, Lead character is not maintained to that and other kind of psychological problems.Film makers lost on that area particularly, otherwise it could get 10 stars from me, but 8 stars as depiction of that side of Howard (Lead character) was not very well done.

leplatypus I got prejudices against this movie, even before I watched it! First of all, it's a Biopic and so far the Hollywood ones proved to be inept: 1) they reorganize the fact to be like they want them to be and not like they are in reality 2) An artist exists by his artistic creation and the process to get them is irrelevant. Due to the title (aviator) I expected the movie to be just a rich hobby about flying that could only appeal to rich: I don't see why as a simple citizen, I could be interested in such child-play… So I put the DVD and start the movie with Scorcese comments: as soon as I understand it's also a movie about (old) Hollywood, my tiny little interest for it just got totally extinguished as for me, movies about movies are the ground-zero of filmmaking: I just don't understand how such movies can be produced except to please the navel-gazing ego-centrism of this little world! It would be like reading books about writing or listening to album about making music! It's silly, a huge loss of time so I just skip chapters to only watch scenes between DiCaprio and Beckinsale: Sure the production is lavish, every one has fantastic wardrobe but nothing comes of it: later, DiCaprio lives like a hobo in his house and Beckinsale helps him to get ready for a Senate hearing: honestly, why should I care? What's the point to such story? I just don't give it a Sh!t.This quickest 3 hours movie i watched just adds tons to my opinion that Scorcese is a poor director, totally overrated and he finds such support from the establishment because they just need to find a name!

brokenmirror-06813 This movie is painful to sit through. It just drags and drags. Each time you think you are finally getting to the end it drags and drags again. There is no excuse for this movie to be this long as the events don't properly fill it. It is yet another di caprio movie that they feel they must drag on for almost three hours simply because he is in it. This is one of those movies that people pretend to like simply because it is a Martin Scorsese flick. I would give someone $100 if they were able to actually pay attention to this bore all the way through twice! Very unlikely.

UnderworldRocks I watched the movie to see Kate Beckinsale, and she was gorgeous as Ava Gardner. Actually, she's prettier than the real Ava!Kate is such an amazing actress. I can never praise her enough. She is truly versatile, starring in a wide range of movies, from Shakespeare, to Jane Austen, to crime thrillers, to modern action Gothic masterpiece Underworld! You name it. She can pull it off perfectly.Even though Kate has only a small role in this, she shines as Ava Gardner, who would only ask Mr. Hughes to buy her dinner.I also find the hearing at the climax very interesting. I like the way Hughes beat the senator. It was quite witty and impressive. Besides, Leonardo was brilliant in acting out the misery of having Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.Alan Alda portrayed the cunning and manoevering politician very well. Cate Blanchett's laughter was so crazy that I didn't even recognize her at first.
