Summary: Not De Niro ?
Comment: It's very hard for me to watch a Scorsese's movie without a real lead actor. DiCaprio looks like a soap-opera-teen-actor, and just don't fit in the part. Some directors should quit while they are still in shape.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Not the best form Scorsesse
Comment: Very good effects. Good performance of Dicaprio and the other actors. However Mr. Scorsesse had made a movie very tipical from Holywood standards, not as original or intense as Goodfellas. I enjoy the movie, but this not catch me as other works from this director. May be the best years of Scorsesse had gone...

Customer Rating:

Summary: 3 stars out of 4
Comment: The Bottom Line:

The Aviator looks great and features good performances, but it is painfully long, has middling special effects, and doesn't seem to notice that it spans 30 years without many of its characters aging.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Stunning movie, all-star cast
Comment: This movie is about Howard Hughes who was an amazing man who suffered from a severe case of OCD. I loved this movie because it didn't show the disease comically. Leonardo DiCaprio took time researching it and really gets the audience to understand how horrible the diease can be and how Howard Hughes struggled with it. Back in those times, it was not as known and studied so treatment was not really there.

This is a captivating movie and the special features are great. The plot keeps moving and it never gets boring. It is one of Leonardo DiCaprio's best works. I highly recommend this movie to anyone and everyone. Especially people who enjoy movies that are a biography of sorts. An absolute must-see and must-own.
