I could have been a great movie, but dang the long, drawn out parts made it more boring than anything.

I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN INTERESTED IN HOWARD HUGHES, I HEARD ABOUT HIM ALL OF MY LIFE. MY SON HAD IT AND FOR SOME REASON WE ONLY GOT HALF WAY THROUGH IT AND HE TURNED IT OFF. WELL, AS SOON AS I RETURNED HOME I HAD TO SEE THE REST OF IT. THIS MOVIE KEPT ME ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT. I LOVED THE ENDING...

This was so tediously boring that we turned it off after 15 minutes. Nobody in the family liked it, not a single person. We played cards instead.

The Aviator Edit | Delete The Aviator was a good movie. Like most of Scorcese's movies - a little too long at 3 hrs - did not have to be that long. This is more of a character study than biographical of Hughes life..Leonardo DiCaprio I thought would be an odd choice to play Howard Hughes (as he looks not a thing like him - nor does Cate Blanchett look a thing like Kate Hepburn)....so I put off seeing the movie for some time. But I must say - that DiCaprio was amazing. I am old enough to remember Howard Hughes in my own lifetime...and he did an amazing job of capturing his mannerisims, facial expressions and his walk - to the point that no matter how much he physically does not look like him - he really took on the character and became him...to that I say BRAVO.

This movie was much better than I expected. I do love Leonardo D, he's an excellent character and brings life to any role he plays. He did a fantastic job at portraying this complex and interesting man. I also liked the realistic insight into OCD - it's a horrible illness that they knew nothing about back then - he was a brilliant man but suffered so much and was so misunderstood because of it. It's a long film, so relax and enjoy it - it moves along pretty well, it did not feel like a long film to me - worth watching!

Great movie, actually has a plot that isn't redundant. True - it can get long and drags out at times but all in all it holds your attention. Leo really has acting talent, tough role to play.

I think it was the best performance by Lenardo DiCaprio. I am glad they didn't do his full biography. Its a great movie.
