I enjoyed this movie. Loved the way it was filmed. Great acting from Leo. I learned alot about someone I didn't know much about, which is disappointing because he was truly talented.

A single faceted portait of Howard Hughes. Terrible movie. I don't know why it received all those awards. It wasn't worth my time.

Slow, boring and really had no good points. I wouldn't make my exhusband watch this.

The movie started off good, the whole beginning scene with him standing naked as a child in the tub with his mom bathing him at the age of like 8 was a little disturbing but the man was a genius and determined that's for sure! I think the movie had two peaks, when he was test piloting his first few planes and then he crashes, (then the movie gets BOOOOORING... slooooow... is this movie ever going to end??) then it picks up again at the hearings, awesome scene where he tells off the senator, but then the movie ends shortly after that. So there are definitely periods of slow. There was actually some slowness in the first half also with his relationship(s) and dealing with fame, got a little slow, then his crazy episode in the room. My girlfriend said at least 3 times, "is it over yet?"

What an interesting life. This story deserves to be told. Although sometimes I think I liked it better the first time when it was called "A Beautiful Mind".

Seemed superficial to me...not really an indepth look at Howard Hughes.

I can see why even though there were nominations from the Academy, they didn't win. The ending was terrible.
