Other than the one with Leo and Sir Ben (just didn't like the plot), I agree absolutely.
The "mystery" just didn't intrigue me for some reason.Quote:

See, I really liked Shutter Island, and I went in thinking it would be bad or not good because of the mixed reviews.
Did you like him in that Brad Pitt baseball flick?Quote:

When I 1st read about this I was so looking forward to this, and now after that great performance of Calvin Candie by Leo I was hoping this was going to be something like an updated modern Wallstreet Michael Douglas. But the trailer doesn't get me excited, maybe is because of that Jonah Hill who is another one them annoying no talent hack in that group of buddies Seth rogen and J Franco and that whole cast from This is The end. Seeing him in this as one of the main character is a buzz killer. I can tolerate it as a side character or cameo but not this much.
Shutter Island was pretty good.Quote:

Scorsese = Blind movie ticket buy. I don't think I've seen a film by the great eyebrows that I didn't thoroughly enjoy.

Yep, a must-see for me too. I don't even need to read any reviews (not that they ever had that much influence on my decision of seeing a film or not, but sometimes yes): Scorsese, DiCaprio, sold!…
I don't give a hoot about professional reviews either, but some do (which is why I posted the links).Quote:

Spot on! Will definitely buy on blu ray.

Same here.
As much as I want to see this now, I'll wait for the BD.
At nearly 3 hours long, my poor old broken down back would strongly object and that would take the fun out of it.

Good choice to wait for the BD. I decided to see The Wolf of Wall Street in the theater today simply because I had nothing better to do. Given how long it was, three hours, it gave me a lot to do.
I thought the first hour of the film was wonderful, if eye-watteringly raunchy. About half way through, though, it lost steam and focus, although it occassionally continued to be very funny. From that point on, many scenes seemed to me to be filler and boring too. The film was saved from outright disaster, though, by Scorsese's brilliant eye and great performances from its formidable ensemble cast. All in all, though, I didn't much like The Wolf of Wall Street. 6 Stars out of 10.

Good to know thanks gwsat. Who knows when you watch it at home you might enjoy it more.

Thanks - I love certain directors long cuts, but very few of his. The Aviator is an exception
for several reasons.
