The Aviator

Scorsese gives us a lot more than the Charles Foster Kane of the clouds. He keeps focus on Hughes, the dreamer, who continually reached out, grabbed the future and pulled it toward him.

Great lighting and cinematography from Martin Scorsese, especially in the first scene. Fantastic performance as well from Leo DiCaprio, and a star studded supporting cast.

May easily beat another favorite, Shutter Island.

Another great film from Scorsese (he NEVER misses). At points I do feel like it drags a bit, but always seems to pick itself up again. It is very satisfying when finished as it doesn’t leave the viewer wanting any more without overloading. It’s on the lower end of amazing. 7.7/10

Great movie

6/10

The Aviator is a really solid movie. Leonardo DiCaprio plays Howard Hughes in a way that feels real, showing both his success and his struggles. The film looks clean and classy, and the story keeps you interested. It’s a bit long, but still worth watching.
