The cinematography was amazing, the script fabulous, the acting A-1. I highly recommend this movie. The story line is engrossing, and offers a well-balanced view of this tragic figure (Howard Hughes), studying his genius as well as his battle with mental illness. Leonardo`s acting is brilliant, but what really grabbed me was Cate Blanchett`s rendition of Katherine Hepburn.

I had hopes in the movie, at least from the commercials. I had hope that there was more of a story than howard hughes. A story about a good pilot? No. A story about a plane? No. When I lost all hope in the movie (around the 90min mark) I began to look for a love story. But no. I began a silent prayer that it would end. Unless you`re a historian in love with Howard Hughes, this is a slow movie that was designed to punish it`s audience. I can`t even say it would be worth watching on television (with commercials it would be 5 hrs). Naturally people will love the movie because of it`s cast and portrayl of Howard Hughes. Somewhere in the world is

Absolutly brillant! I`ve seen most of the Oscar contenders already and so far, I`d say the Aviator deserves Best Actor (DiCaprio was wonderful and moving), Best Supporting Actress (Blanchett was spot on as Hepburn), Best Director (Becuase he deserves it by now) and for sure Best Picture because as good as all of the other contenders are this was by far the best all-around film. Go see it and you`ll understand.

A PHENOMINAL MOVIE, DICAPRIO HAS REALLY MATURED AS AN ACTOR. THE FINEST PERFORMANCE I`VE SEEN FROM HIM IN A LONG TIME, HE`S GOT A GREAT SHOT AT AN OSCAR THIS YEAR.

Leo did a fantastic job. True he is ageless, that however says nothing of his acting abilities. For a 3 hour movie to speed by says a lot. As an avid movie goer I do have to say that this is without a doubt an Oscar contender. Good luck Leo on obtaining the statue that you very much deserve!

Leonardo seemed to embody the character - we were very impressed with his performance and believe it`s Oscar worthy. The characterization of Hepburn, by Cate Blanchette, initially seemed a little over the top, however I felt it was explained later when Hughes told her to `..stop acting Kate` - which she did, revealing a more `real` Hepburn. Jude Law as Errol Flynnwas wonderful, but Jean Harlow`s (by No Doubt) was nothing like Harlow.. bad casting. The set designs and costumes will definitely be nominated, and likely will earn Scorcesse a nomination. It was a little long - but overall worth the effort.
