Visually stunning but empty, this is not the old Scorsese we met 30 years ago.

A huge bounce back for Scorsese after the disappointing Gangs of New York. This was a very entertaining picture, with fine performances from DiCaprio and Blanchett. Felt a bit long, but I can't think of anything that should be cut. The flying sequences were stunning.

It may lose traction in its third hour, and DiCaprio's performance doesn't quite seem to live up to the impressive highs of my first viewing, but Scorcese's film is quite the entertainer. Glossy, loud and oh-so-Hollywood, it's impossible not to be taken up with the grandeur of it all. And Blanchett's Oscar-winning performance has to be seen to be believed.

I could never quite get into this one. It's awesome technically, but it feels mechanical and at times almost soulless. I'm also not a big fan of Leonard DiCaprio here. Cate Blanchett is great, though.

If there were a way to edit out DiCaprio and put someone older and more capable of carrying a film in his place, this might be a good film. As it is, only the technicals and the always divine Cate Blanchett save this from utter ruin. It's overlong, muddy and miscast.

Great cinematography and colors (imitating color films of the years its set in) and there's some good acting on display here, but it didn't really grab me. Too long and slow, and it jumps around sometimes with little sense. The last half hour's pretty good, though.

A big, messy, overlong bore. Only the marvelous techs save this from being totally unwatchable. DiCaprio's obnoxious and affected shtick feels like something straight out of Rain Man or I Am Sam. Cate Blanchett's Oscar winning Kate Hepburn impression feels like something out of a drag show.

A great looking movie, but I couldn't find myself caring all that much. Another great Cate Blanchett performance, but it's really something I need to give another chance.

If you're home on a Saturday night and you have to make a choice between this movie, and something by Rob Schneider, go for this movie. Actually, if you have to choose between snorting razorblades covered in alcohol and Rob Schneider, go for the razorblades.

I don't care what anyone else thinks. This is up there with Scorcese's great masterpieces.

Hollywood puts out a lot of true stories and most of them turn out to be crap. Yet, this is an certainly an exception to the rule...One might say just as Howard Robard Hughes, Jr. was certainly an exception to the rule.

"The Aviator" continues Scorsese's recent trend for mild misfires. The first part, featuring Hughes as an overambitious filmmaker, is fascinating and packs up some fantastic sequences and quite a few Scorsese visual trademarks. The second half, though, is underwhelming at best. Scorsese is famous for being able to elevate the material he is given, but he fails to do so way too often in "The Aviator". Good performances by DiCaprio and Blanchett.

Good biopic until it gets to the point where Hughes' OCD completely controls him and things become horroresque, then it becomes great. Love the inclusion of Hughes' films, fantastic art design all around.

Hughes was an interesting dude. Glad Scorsese did this and it didn't turn into the boring tedium that are bad biopics.

The best part of this movie is Cate Blanchett. The worst part is the CGI. Furthermore, THE WAY OF THE FUTURE, THE WAY OF THE FUTURE, THE WAY OF THE FUTURE, THE WAY OF THE FUTURE, THE WAY OF THE FUTURE, THE WAY OF THE FUTURE, THE WAY OF THE FUTURE, THE WAY OF THE FUTURE, THE WAY OF THE FUTURE, THE WAY OF THE FUTURE, THE WAY OF THE FUTURE, THE WAY OF THE FUTURE, THE WAY OF THE FUTURE.

Leonardo DiCaprio, it's not your fault, I just don't really like you. I didn't care for you back on Family Ties. I didn't like Titanic. No sir, I don't care for you. That said, this is the second best movie I've seen you in. I liked you performance in Catch Me if You Can better. But this movie is well acted and smartly written. And someday you'll look like you're over 21.

Rather standard biopic, but with Scorsese at the helm and Dicaprio giving his best performance, it was very captivating.

Too many things didn't work, Di Caprio never sold me on being Howrd Hughes, if it wern't for Cate Blanchett the movie would rate even lower.
