I like long movies. Not having ADHD helps your enjoyment of them. It's a bio of an intriguing fella so I imagine it was difficult to try to reduce his story to 1.5 hours. DiCaprio did a great job. Having unchecked OCD during the 40s & 50s, running an airline, test piloting & designing new airplanes, & having stormy relationships with hollywood starlets - how can you not find this interesting? Maybe a bit over the top but so was HH's life.

I learned a LOT about this genius and innovative man. Living in SoCal, we hear the name Hughes a lot, but I never understood his historic background until seeing this excellent movie. Great acting.

The story is great. Follow the life of Howard Hugh pretty good. A little too long, but not that bad.

This man was a genius at times and a psycho at others. He had such visions and then he went bonkers. Leonardo was brillant in his acting, but I thoroughly did not like the movie. It ended abruptly and left you feeling strange at the ending. Like...its over??? Definitely not a "feel good movie". Glad I rented the DVD and didn't pay big bucks to see in the theater.

I thought this movie would NEVER end. As much as I love Leo D, this movie was strange to say the least. Kate Blanchett did do a wonderful job playing Katherine Hepburn though and Leo is always great. It was just the sad story of Howard Hughes and the end, what was that??? My husband liked it though if that tells you anything, maybe it's a man's movie.
