it tries to be all sophisticated and deep but it ends up being 3 hours of a meandering plotline with puppet characters whom you do not care about. As for the visual effects, which the director is supposedly famous for, they... Full review

This flim used God's name in vain every 2 to three minutes. The film also was very boring. The storyline behind it was boring. Decaprio's character did not say many encouring things. He teared his workers down all the time with... Full review

The Aviator," one of Scorsese's finest, is the best movie we have right now, because it follows its anti-hero so brilliantly on his flight into dreams.

A beautiful and technically masterful film, the nearly three hour long biography seems to fly by. ... Full Review
