I'm here to expose the good people at netflix as a bunch of charlatans, for the movie I saw last night delivered by these good people apparently bore no resemblance whatsoever to the film the above and below appeared to be gushing over. I'm here to expose the good people at netflix as a bunch of charlatans, for the movie I saw last night delivered by these good people apparently bore no resemblance whatsoever to the film the above and below appeared to be gushing over. The film netfix sent to me was a meandering, overwrought pile of self-indulgent arse. How can a film made about an airplane test pilot millionaire who slept with most of the best looking people in Hollywood turn out to be so dull? This my friends is a truly mystifying. I guess part of the blame must be leveled on that dufus Decraprio, I Expand

It looks great, but that's it. Tedious and overrated. DiCaprio is horribly miscast; his Howard Hughes comes off like an arrogant teenager. Cate Blanchett, always good, reaffirmed my dislike of Katherine Hepburn. Not worth the time It looks great, but that's it. Tedious and overrated.

Watch "GoodFellas" again instead to see what Scorsese is capable of. Expand

Terrible movie. Horribly edited. Casting DiCrapio for this part was a wrong decission, he looks too young, too clueless. The only redeeming quality of the whole film is the actress that plays Katherine Hepburn. That's a phenomenal Terrible movie. Horribly edited.

That's a phenomenal rendering of her. That I enjoyed. Otherwise I would wish I had never seen it at all. Expand

Poor Kate must be rolling over in her grave. The accent was way over the top exaggerated and the over-acting was an absolute embarrassment. Scorsese should've straightened her out and told her to fix it. Someone should've told him to straighten it out if he didn't see the problem with her performance. Her performance was one of the worst things I've ever seen in a movie. I saw it a few years ago but it has still stuck with me. Expand

‘Vis ma vie de mégalo cinglé’ mais ce n’est pas très intéressant, cette vie de mégalomaniaque névrosé obsessionnel toqué même si Di Carpaccio ne ménage pas ses efforts.

La faute bien évidemment à des longueurs terribles, terrifiantes d’ennui et de blablas stériles.

Et contrairement au ‘Loup de Wall street’ (par exemple), Scorsese n’a pas l’humour ni un détestable cynisme auquel se raccrocher. J’ignore si son film a la moindre valeur historique mais tel qu’il est, ii n’évoque et n’induit aucun sentiment particulier chez le spectateur à l’égard de cet Howard machinchose et personnellement je m’en contrefousde ce blaireau qui se mouche avec des bifetons.

La seule chose dont je me fous pas, c’est que la fin de ce film interminable (inter-minable ?) advienne enfin… et arrive ! et quel sentiment de libération quand évzntuellement… elle arrive. Enfin. Bref, ça reste visuellement beau, mis en scène avec soin mais putain, je me suis emmerdé pendant les deux derniers tiers du film. ou les trois quarts, je ne sais plus. Dommage pour le début qui partait bien. Mais au début seulement.
