One question and one question only: Why doesn't Leonardo DiCaprio have an Oscar? Seriously!
This is not much of a review because if you have read reviews of the film, you can't get really get a solid review without given something away. I thank the marketing and people who have reviewed the film for doing a great job by not doing such. And I dare not be that person.
What I can say is that I went there thinking that I was going to be scared out of my mind. I personally wasn't. But some people were. Some people thought that there was too much going on. Too much imagery. It's a movie, right? What do people want in a movie nowadays? I guess blue people and a made up language. Well any movie that knocked Avatar out of its position is my kind of movie.
I also believe that Martin Scorsese has never made a bad film, EVER. All his films are different. He is loves film, he treats it with respect. A great director and DiCaprio a great actor. A true canvas. I think this by far is one of my favorite films of his, honestly. I literally walked into the theater thinking I was going to see something and saw something else and was pleased.
So I recommend this film. If it feels slow to you in the beginning, hang in there. You're probably not use to films like those and I mean going back to the Hitchcock era. Old fashion good films. Give it a try, you will be surprised. If you're a Scorsese fan, a win. DiCaprio fan, win. Great quality movie fan, EPIC WIN.
Can we start petitioning for this man to win an Oscar already? Do they do that?
