Martin Scorsese once again shows why he is the best director out there bar none. The guy is a god of directing, no one comes close to him. He should have won alot of oscars by now, but keeps getting screwed over. This movie should give him what is right fully his. It is a exellent movie, Leonardo was great along with the rest of the cast. 5 out of 5 for me.

almost excellent movie. The movie focuses more on what Howard Hughes did and less on who he was. The director probably hoped that by telling the story that way, the acts would define the man. However, that did not work out. And so, the ending was very unsatisfying, almost like the movie ended prematurely. And if, like me, you care about a good ending, than you would be very unhappy after seeing this movie. It is almost like someone turned off the tv while you were watching a great movie and somehow you never get to see the ending. Bummer!!!

I really liked this movie but they could have done a better job with the ending. It leaves you wanting more.

SUPERB, but a basic knowledge of Hughes, the era and Obsessive Compulsive illness could help enlighten the nay sayers assuming they have the intellect!! Leo has really grown as an actor, Cate Blanchett is awesome and it is all brought together nicely by Scorsese who took a very complicated early life of a very complicated man and took away some of the mystery and showed him as a real person. I hope for big wins at Oscar, it is well deserved!!!

I found Howard Hughes` mental illnes fascinating and wanted to know more about his later life. It did spend too much time on his early life and planes. I know he made huge advances in aviation, but he went on to do much more and I wish the film would have touched on that. Leonardo was great and he will continue to develop as and actor with roles like these. Cate Blanchette blew me away as Hepburn. She is a very good actress - I never forgot her performance in Elizabeth. Also enjoyed Alda and Baldwin.

The WORST movie of the year

Watch the A&E biography instead. It will save you 2 and a half hours and it`s alot more interesting. I had to leave after 2 and a half hours. As did many people. This is a critical darling? They sure are not on the same level as the viewing public.
