Belfort=modern day Caligula. No glorification, characters lack redeeming qualities aside from wealth: they're awful people with selfish motivations. Even their grandiose exploits are unattractive! Awkward sex scenes & rampant drug use (while often hilarious) brilliantly highlight dangers of abuse. Performance wise, DiCaprio & Hill are great; off-the-charts & insane. The greedy world Scorsese presents is massive & at times overwhelming; it's a very entertaining spiral, but not an enticing life.

The movie basically ends up doing what Jordan Belfort does to all his investors: testing your patience for three hours until you give in and unconditionally agree that what you're hearing and seeing is truly genius.

The Goodfellas/Casino model gets brasher, louder and more colourful as Scorcese charts the rise and fall of Jordan Belfort, revelling in every second of greed, excess and debauchery that the protagonists indulge in. This is also a very, very funny film. DiCaprio and Hill shine in their roles. Perhaps the film does get a bit repetitive, and maybe lacks focus on the victims of the scams in play; the drama therefore feels a bit empty. However, this is wonderful entertainment, beautifully made.

I usually don't have a problem with an unlikeable protagonist, but my problem here lies in the fact that I had to sit through three hours of immature gimmicks (drugs, women etc.) which provided no further depth to these characters beyond proving the point that they are shitty, debauched moneygrubbers. I got that in the first hour and the jokes were funny for a good while, but then as the time dragged on I became less amused by how aimless and predictable this was. The acting saved this for me.

It's like an American La Dolce Vita, with less artistic merit and more humour. A trip through the hedonistic life of Wall Street, the center point of greed, capitalism and, especially, drugs and hookers. Its structure, with a distinct directing style and the clever use of voice-over, shows Scorsese in top form. The Wolf of Wall Street lacks the emotional punch of his older classics. But what is there, is still extremely good.

Scorsese returns to his familiar themes here, tackling greed, self-indulgence, drugs and morality with a lightning pace. It all looks fantastic and DiCaprio is stellar at the lead, but the excessive exuberance starts to become hit-or-miss with the hefty runtime. For example, the physical comedy on display with Jordan & Donnie during the Quaalude scenes is hilarious, but the whole yacht in the storm sequence fell flat. Regardless, it's Scorsese and the funniest film of the year. Can't go wrong.

Scorsese is back in familiar territory, critiquing greed, overblown masculinity, overexuberance, and moral decay, in an energetic epic chronicling the rise-and-fall of a quaalude-pumped, pompous, self-serving, enterprising figure of American culture. The cast is amazing and the tone is infectious, grabbing the audience and never letting go. Holy shit, dude. It hits on so many levels and has no qualms about what it is. It's great.

A comedy that almost fails at being a comedy. It took all my willpower to sit through the first hour, after which it did improve but the distaste left the rest hard to enjoy. I am usually all for longer movies but this film just plain and simple is FAR too long. Could EASILY be half the length and in my opinion would be a better movie. No issues with acting, but if you're gonna make a 3 hour comedy with unrelatable characters, you gotta make it a lot funnier than LEO DOES COKE, LOOK TITS HA. No.

Scorsese is an old master still capable of making films that are effortlessly youthful and vibrant. Casino is the obvious comparison here, but if Rothstein was the eye of the storm, Belfort is the tornado leaving wreckage in his wake. It's an endless parade of comic setpieces (DiCaprio's Quaalude trip the high point), reveling in debauchery and excess. Complaints that it glamorizes the lifestyle are bizarre; it IS glamorous, do you need your hand held to recognize that it's also fucked up?

The audacious, outrageous companion piece to 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas' has finally arrived. It's fantastically funny and deviously light in touch. If you're one of those people that found 'Inside Job' to be a tad heavy on the complexity of content, watch this one and consider: This is how they behave. That is why it all went wrong. Then consider that Belfort attended the premiere of this movie, mingling with the stars. That is how leniently they're punished.

Seriously, most of the humor here is just Tosh.0 for the cinephile crowd. I guess that makes me sound PC or a killjoy but seriously, the eighteenth fellatio joke is a little tiring, as is pretty much all of Scorsese's attempts to draw pathos from his moronic subject. I mean, what's the point here? Excess is bad? If so, this is a terrible movie because it makes it look pretty fun. Why should I care? It's easy to watch, but there isn't much "there" for me.

CASINO ends by making the point that goodfellas are just small fry compared to corporate America, and this completes the picture by remaking GOODFELLAS on the immense scale of Wall Street hucksterism. Very entertaining and very funny, although lacking a female presence on the level of Bracco or Stone. Also: this more than THE AVIATOR is Scorsese's CITIZEN KANE. Implies that travelling to New Zealand is equivalent to ordering spaghetti with marinara sauce and getting egg noodles and ketchup.

While it might sometimes resemble the tone of a Tucker Max novel, there's a lot of meat and panache to this movie, even if it's similar to other Scorsese works like Goodfellas and Casino. It's predictably gluttonous, depraved, and filthy, serving as an effective character assassination of both Jordan Belfort and the type of infantile fuck-ups on Wall Street that want to be him. Oh, and it's hilarious.

The debauchery is admittedly glamorous, and it does retread Goodfellas, but that doesn't prevent Scorsese from making a condemnatory and original masterpiece. Where it really succeeds are the maniacally well-acted characters and the dissonant tonal shifts (It's worth noting that the lines "Stratton Oakmont is America" and "Fuck you U.S.A." couldn't have been more than two scenes apart). Some of the hottest, most hilarious, and most horrifying things I've seen in any movie in a long time.

This is what you get if you take Goodfellas, change the subject to Wall Street, and amp up the insanity by 100%. And I mean that in the best way possible. This is a sharp, edgy, hilarious movie. Scorsese and Winter are able to take a mostly despicable person, showcase his immorality and depravity for two and a half hours, and make us adore every second of it. It's a hedonistic madhouse of sex, drugs and money, and I didn't want it to ever end. Probably Scorsese's best movie since Casino.

I'm not even sure what score to give this thing. It was amazing. It hit on every emotion and I still cannot stop thinking about it. It's witty, hilarious, greedy, pompous, and oh so vulgar. I was told "be prepared for a lot of drugs and sex". What they should have said was "be prepared for all the drugs and sex". But it fit the story so well. His lifestyle is completely over the top, and so what he does for fun (or just what he needs to keep him going) is also over the top. Do yourself a favor.

The 70 year old Scorcese can still fuck you up by rubbing your nose in robber capitalist savagery. Jonah Hill powerhouses this movie and DiCaprio seems to be turning into Jack Nicholson.

Every anectdote from Belfort's career is crammed in here and it focuses too much on the excessive lifestyle. It hurts plot advancement and it eludes me what Marty's point is. This does not mean that it isn't an enjoyable film. It is. In fact it's all fun and games most of the time and viewer sympathy for Leo somehow never takes any crucial hits nor does he appear as the villain, he actually is. He never really experiences any obstacles nor does he hit rock bottom. Maybe that was the point...

Similar to Scorsese's earlier Goodfellas, but with more socially acceptable gangsters (because of this, the film's cynicism lets them off the hook a lot more). Despite the vaguely matching stories, it's the mini narratives in this that are so exciting and entertaining to watch, not only due to how effortlessly the are crafted, but the audacious display of portraying excess in an excessive manner. This film is a venomous joy to watch from start to finish.

Tasked with portraying the culture and the people that most likely will bring about the destruction of western civilization, Scorsese has done the only feasible thing and made a three hour long circus show. That, and he's also made his best movie in ages and possibly his funniest ever.

Grand in every way. Vivacious women, infectious and uproarious humor and dynamic performance from all the key players. Factor in the Scorsese brand and this film is as close to perfection as you can possibly get. Scorsese is back where he belongs, tackling federal crime and creating a uniquely sound motion picture. DiCaprio is in fine form, delivering one of his most versatile performances in a long time.His chemistry with leading lady Margo Robbie is one of the most dynamic aspects in the film

Not a story that required 3 hours to tell, consisting of 20 minutes for the rise, 20 minutes for the fall, & two & a bit hours inbetween of drugs, sex, money & monologues rinsed & repeated. Not every scene felt essential & Scorsese gives you little reason to empathise with the cast, which is always an issue for me. Even so, this is a supurbly vile & hedonistic ride. Brilliantly & stylishly shot by MS, fantastically lead by DICaprio, & funny & nasty in equal parts. Loved McConaughey's cameo too.

It's a surprise that movie which is about drugs, money and hookers can be so boring that at the end you are just left with "WHAT?". Poor pacing, long dialogues which give nothing to the plot (so non alcoholic beer doesn't have any alcohol in it?), random voiceovers, a bunch of endings, just going on and on and on like a fucking matryoshka. I love DiCaprio and all of his offbeat heroes, but if you make a 3 hour movie, make it worth watching. It wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't Scorsese.

Leave it to Marty at 71 to give us the most lengthy, indulgent, hilarious, vulgar and outrageous film of his career. This is a madly entertaining portrait of greed in contemporary America buoyed by the fiercest (maybe the best?) performance of DiCaprio's career. It does however feel thin in terms of story depth and nuance; it works very well as immersion into the dizzying madness of excess, but I can't help but feel that it's lacking in substance. That being said, though, it's quite a fun ride.

Whoa. What a rush. The most head-spinningly, astoundingly manic movie I think I've seen in years. It made me giddy, riding along on the movie's wave of sheer decadent energy for three berserk hours. Holy shit, Scorsese. Holy shit, DiCaprio. Holy shit, Jonah Hill. Holy shit, McConaughey. Marty's most on-target, most in-love-with-the-movies movie in two decades. These people suck! And this movie rules!

Magnificent, masterful character study of an abhorrant miscreant ranks with the finest work in the Scorsese canon: mixing equal parts CASINO and GOODFELLAS, and Stone's WALL STREET, Scorsese creates three hours of excess which never feels like excess, thanks to luminous cinematography and extraordinary performances. DiCaprio has never been better, Hill is his match, and McConaughey makes a brutal impression in his brief appearance. Would have liked to see Julie Andrews in the Lumley part!

(2nd viewing) Completely relentless in its depiction of unchecked greed and glorious excess while maintaining a moral ambiguity that challenges its audience in decrying its protagonist's wildly sordid escapades. It's also a great Scorsese picture in how the film proves more rewarding upon subsequent viewing.

Scorsese's best in ages. Loved it. Leo and Jonah knock it out of the park. That said, I found myself having ethical qualms. It's fine on film. Real life is different. Not only a true story, a true story which barely sent Belfort to jail at all thanks to crooked US justice, and has since earned him millions in sales of books and movie rights alone, largely thanks to this film. He's a criminal scumbag, and for some reason he's even in a cameo at the end. Not sure how I feel about that.

It speaks volumes that 'The Wolf of Wall Street' doesn't feel half as long as it is. It's one long explosion of energy (set of by the bomb of 2013, Mr. McC), amounting to the best Scorsese picture since 'Casino'. Margot Robbie's looks alone makes it pretty much a must-see, I'd say.

Pretty optimistic PSI on this one--a few too many long-winded speeches and overlong sex scenes, and too glamorized a vision of some terrible person's past. Powerhouse performance by DiCaprio, though, and occasionally super funny. Very entertaining when at its best.

Di Caprio, very good at playing merry psychopaths, is at the top of his game in this comic, (almost) bloodless, virtual remake of "Goodfellas". Like all fine satires, it is moral but not moralistic: it allows us to see the characters' charms even while we despise them. Each scene is masterfully directed, perfect in execution, and, if I refuse to call it a masterpiece, that is only because the order of scenes does not seem inevitable, the great length of the film not completely justified.

A wonderfully entertaining black comedy that treats it's viewers as intelligent enough to judge Jordan based on his actions without having to explicitly tell us he's a bad person. All the actors and actresses knock it out of the park. Also I want Matthew McConaughey to be nominated for an Oscar just for his cameo.

DiCaprio's best performance and in my honest opinion Scorsese's finest film since Goodfellas. Three hours of full throttle insanity, hilarity, and masterful directing and writing which left me feeling both exhausted and giddy; the movie itself kind of functions like a drug-fueled party. The relevant ambition is successfully realized (what an ending) and it wasn't a minute too long considering. Oh, and did I mention it's insanely hilarious?

Dare I say it but this is Leo's best performance. The guy is fantastic. Not one of Scorsese's best but still good. Would've ranked this higher if I was comparing to another director. The Quaalude "fight" scene was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Doesn't really shed any light on greed or money that we haven't already seen but it's a fun ride and doesn't feel as long as its run time.

DA WOLF! This is, despite some claims, a movie with absolutely no sympathy for its characters. Scorsese's camera is absolutely ruthless in its evisceration of their lifestyle, exposing them as complete monsters with no scruples about doing anything necessary to line their own pockets, much like Goodfellas before it. DiCaprio and Hill are the perfect double act.

One of the most astonishingly high-energy movies I can remember seeing in years, not to mention the funniest film of 2013 to boot. A glorious, unhinged bacchanal the sorts of which we rarely see on the big screen. Great performances from everyone. McConaughey kills it in his one major scene. I don't entirely agree with every creative choice (the moments where the voiceover narration left Belfort were duds for me), but the movie is still clearly one to be experienced.

Another great Scorsese flick. This movie is fun almost the entire way through as it looks at a completely absurd and outrageous life. Human greed, excess and addiction are all on display here with Jonah Hill and DiCaprio leading the way in two fantastic performances, particularly Hill. It also features the best fight scene in any movie of the past decade.

I'm no stranger to movies with long runtimes, but they only really work if you have a reason and a capacity to use it, and Wolf kind of flounders like the entire thing is on downers instead of just Belfort.

That's a nice touch at the very end - no matter how unbelievable and funny it all might seem, the buyers are still buying and the sellers keep selling. Special mention goes to Jonah Hill; I really like him when he's not in a shit movie. He should stop doing those...

3 hrs. of excess OR Goodfellas on Wall Street. Granted, they could have trimmed bits here and there - especially some of the scenes that play purely for laughs but the repetition also works in context of the film. It's amazing that Scorsese who is in his 70s, directs something like this - it takes balls. DiCaprio is excellent as Belfort and so is Jonah Hill.

Many individually good scenes and performances, but the movie as a whole feels empty and pointless. It's too overblown and hollywood-ized to be a good biopic, but has no narrative statement to work as a piece of fiction either. So it's stranded in a weird in-between place that didn't work well for me.

It's a movie about nothing, for too long. And the acting, along with the characters, is unreal. And not in a good way. When I'm supposed to cry or feel with these squares they want to be characters, I feel nothing. The last hour I was just slowly ... dying inside, losing my faith in Scorsese. The many laughs make it just remotely worth watching though, but don't come with your "it's a great picture of a piece of society". It's already as overrated a picture of society as Goodfellas was/is.

Absoultely the best film of 2013. After three hours of some of the most fun and entertainment a movie has brought me, I just wanted more. I could seriously watch this all day. DiCaprio and Hill are simply spectacular, the rest of the cast shines as does every wonderfully produced scene. Wolf is big, loud, in your face and utterly outstanding.

i had a lot of hopes for this, but ultimately came out disappointed. it takes a suitably hard view of its characters, but while it has some original moments, it can't help but throw in plenty of hollywood cliches, which perhaps makes it feel tamer than one would like. it's also an extreme caricature of wall street, so it would need a lot more stylisation than it has here to properly remove it from a reality it doesn't deal that well with.

While the satirical tone is more than evident through an excellent, understated use of a compromised narrator, the film is less successful when it comes to portraying the human cost of Belfort's actions. Sure, we see a few brief moments of reflection from Belfort in the film's final hour, as well as the family drama that develops as his enterprise winds down. But this is largely overwhelmed by blizzards of cocaine and parades of hookers.

I certainly missed the basic point of this film, if it indeed had one. At times it seemed to be gearing up for some rich social commentary about the unjust invulnerability of the rich, but never quite got there. Nor did it clearly drive home the opposite moral. At the end of the day nothing was really achieved. Besides this failing, the film also lacked either a compelling plot or interesting characters, and was presented through a series of rather uninspired scenes. Not worth the time.

While entertaining while watching it, looking back I'm failing to understand the point or story to the movie. It's a long stretch of film, 3 hours of sex and debauchery. But at the end of it, I'm not sure that there was much more to the story than a guy becoming successful, partying hard, and finally getting arrested. Perhaps it was true to life, but the ending was wrapped up in a clean and inconsequential manner, with no seeming moral to story. I wasn't un-entertained, but it was a mindless 3hr

Only a few directors can make you feel like you're snorting cocaine while watching their movie totally sober. Scorsese is a master at harnessing manic energy in his films but in this he outright skull fucks you with it. There are too many highlights but most notable is watching high Leo crawl like a worm to his parked lambo. The other that had me pissing my pants laughing is the popeye action sequence. Bonus points if you watch this with modest women who are fans of Titanic era heart throb Leo.

This is such an entertaining tale of white collar debauchery and excess. While the story follows the somewhat cliché 'rise and fall' structure, Scorcese still manages to keep the tone even and light through to the end which makes it easy to enjoy despite the seriously lengthy 3 hr runtime. Leo excels as Belfort and Jonah Hill pulls off another one of his better performances. McConaughey almost steals the film with just a few scenes, and Robbie is absolutely stunning as the trophy wife.

My favorite Scorsese since Casino, WoWS is the most over-the-top and histrionic picture in his body of work. Like in Hawks' and Wilder's out-loud pics or old Hollywood star vehicles, the director returns to his favorite kind of character -- men on a Dionysiac journey of carnal pleasures, self-destruction and finally purge -- with DiCaprio at his best -- kicking and screaming like a mental fuckhead. Scorsa doesn't know when to stop -- and for that I thank him, specially that lost shot.

If there was a coherent message in there, I missed it. It looked like the main focus in its production was Scorsese's casting couch. The story became absurd at times, especially with the "choppy seas" and OD on ludes sequences. But like so many such feckless films, it just had to run the characters inescapable stupidity into the ground for 3 hours exactly, and to no apparent purpose.

Like most Scorsese films, he has unique view at presenting ideas. At its core, The Wolf of Wall Street is a self indulgent, drug, and sex filled ride. Scorsese never seems to shy away from taking creative chances, especially with comedic ones on such controversial topics. His mark is really left here, and aside from one scene that felt completely misplaced towards the end, and a movie that could be cut a little shorter, The Wolf of Wall Street is quite good and exceeds on Scorsese levels.

It's funny and entertaining, but there's something rotten in its core that no amount of "it's satire and ironic" can absolve. It's not that the characters and actions don't come off as reprehensible, because they do, but because we don't actually see the consequences of their actions the comedy, rather than serving as sharp critique, acts as a vehicle for detachment minimizing the satirical impact.

If this movie were a person it would be Chris Farley. Full of energy, sometimes grippingly serious, and deep down full of humor, but it's far from perfect. Overweight and self indulgent it falls short of its potential and will never have it's name ensconced with the greats. That said, at least for me and hopefully others, it will never be forgotten. Also Howlin' Wolf, Scorsese makes great music choices.

This is a scathing takedown of corporate greed. Its humour masks it a bit, but these guys are clueless greed machines. The second Belfort uses Captain Ahab as a POSITIVE comparison is the second you should be clued in that he isn't a hero. It gets repetitive and meanders a bit too much, but it's worth the ride. Belfort may be the lead role, but he is not a protagonist and he is not being excused.

This movie is a hilarious drama, more so than a straight-up comedy. In this aspect it's pretty similar to Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, and this movie also contains one of the best and most hilarious drug-trip-gone-bad scenes since Fear & Loathing. DiCaprio is in his absolute best in the role of Jordan Belfort, and the supporting cast is exceptionally strong as well. This is a long movie, but it's also very engaging and relentlessly entertaining from the first minute to the last.

Well I thought this was a really excellent movie. I didn't really have a lot of empathy for most of the characters, but the writing is great, Scorsese's directing is superb, and DiCaprio acts off what is, in my opinion, his best performance. Hill and Robbie are good and some of the supporting cast is too. The soundtrack is also great. It's 3 hours with a bunch of drugs and sex in it, but I still found it to be really well made regardless.

Don't mistake this for a movie about Wall Street, this is a movie about a very specific character who embodied some aspects of the wall street culture, but certainly not all of them. It's definitely fun and it's the funniest Scorcese film. But, it doesn't have the dramatic depth to match any of his masterpieces. The comedy though...top notch.

Scorsese's best work since The Aviator. Although I could feel this movie's 3 hour length at times, I don't think I would cut anything out (and could honestly sit through more...). It's a loud, exaggerated, brutal kick in the head that's hilarious and thought provoking. Leo is brilliant and Jonah Hill is a pleasant surprise, often stealing the show.

Scorsese's always able to take hard-to-like characters and look at them without judgment, then somehow never have a single dull moment no matter how long he has us watch them. In this case, unabashed farce is the key to it working as a commentary on the absurd overload of greed in this country and how disconnected the super-rich are from how they affect other people. It also has the most enjoyable and random cast I've seen in a long time, and almost certainly Jonah Hill's finest hour (or three).

It really is more than drugs and boobs, but that is all the press can make of it. This movie is actually a great story of downfall and redemption. The acting and line delivery is stunningly perfect with a still Oscar-less Leonardo leading. And you can never go wrong with Scorsese directing. A movie that never could have failed, no matter how hard it tried.

I thought the crude style of humor would put me off, but despite The Wolf of Wall Street being loved by those same annoying high school students, there's actually plenty of humility in it as it takes the piss out of the characters and their lifestyle choices. Seriously, did anyone pay attention? Why would you want to be anyone in this movie? Anyway, lots of funny, but it's the same brand of funny for three damn hours. Even if it's consistent it's going to be - and is - exhausting.

Quite the ride, visually and story-wise. DiCaprio is brilliant. Overall, it is well scripted, though there were a few awkwardly worked scenes. The morals of the story--so to speak--are made in the same way as just about every other aspect of this film was presented: in quite an over-the-top fashion. Though appalled by the philosophies and actions of some of the characters, I found myself slipping into moments of acceptance of them and their lifestyles--a tribute to the quality of the story & act

Scoresese portrays the brutality and barbarism of these modern plunderers with unflinching honesty. Mechanically it's impeccable. Flawless performances, brilliant direction...I could go on. However, what do we come away with? This film is more scribe then poet, simply chronicling what happened, but it has almost nothing to say about it and precious little insight to provide. The film is great to think about, but no more so than everyday life. Therein lies its failure.

ordan Belfort blows the lid off just about every jar of horribleness a scriptwriter could ever conceive of. He does it in such an outrageously obscene way that he makes infamous greedmeister Gordon Gekko (from the 1987 Oliver Stone film Wall Street) look merely like a giggling greenhorn in comparison.

The Wolf of Wall Street is the funnest film experience I've had in a long time. This is Scorsese's most ambitious film to date and the scale of the glorification of greed, self indulgence and self destruction is shockingly overwhelming. It's the irresponsible but chaotic use of humour though that carries what could of been a drab and tough watch. Di Caprio gives without doubt his finest performance to date and Hill is equally just as brilliant. It's completely OTT but it's undeniably enjoyable.

I'm really sick of movies showing off crudely the american idea of success, which is an over the top life with plenty of money, sex and drugs.
This movie at times seems just an excuse to show tits and asses to a public of horny males.
While there are no doubts about the acting skills of Di Caprio, the movie is unreal and repetitive, and it bored and annoyed me so much that I could not watch past the first half.

I pretty much always have a problem with films where the protagonists are douchebags and/or villains. This one is no different. The protagonists are all scum and it's sickening to think about this having happened. This film doesn't zoom in on that aspect but rather just shows the lives of these people, without any sort of judgment or deeper meaning. Which is its biggest shortcoming in my opinion. Despite some scenes that added absolutely nothing, this film still managed to be quite entertaining.

Some moments are up there with the most memorable shots that Scorcese has ever completed and are a joy to watch. Much of it, especially the early goings, is debauched fun. It's a shame Marty didn't have any discretion and went for the 3-hour cut, though. There's a 2h20 minute movie in here that would have been much closer to Oscar-winning material.

As opposed to, say, Costa-Gavras' Capital, Scorsese's adaptation of Belfort's memoirs is not a straight critique of high finance, but rather indulges in the hedonistic excess of white-collar crime, cheerful tall tales of luxury hookers and drug abuse, and seems sly and almost duplicitous in positing Belfort as a scumbag. It's a seedy rise-and-fall bio like Casino and Boogie Nights which mostly just enjoys the ride, but as far as those go, it's a riveting film of astounding cinematic expertise.

DiCaprio's great & Hill is fantastic. Scorsese's direction is perfect & Winter's screenplay is very funny. It shows these horrible people doing terrible things for three hours & doesn't feel the need to preach about how bad they are & I appreciate that. So, yeah, it's a pretty excellent movie, and you should see it. Simple as that.

Entertaining in an "I would never do any of these things, but it's fun to watch others do them" kind of way. And it's performance pornography, from Leo to Jonah to an awesome Rob Reiner. The dialogue is fitting and funny. Does it GLORIFY Belfort's life? Debatable - there are consequences (though the severity is questionable, as the movie alludes). It's pretty clear that Belfort is a total dick, but the movie leaves it up to the audience whether his redeeming qualities outweigh that. See it!

Filling 3 hours with as much drugs, sex, and vulgarity as possible only takes away from its entertainment value as well as the obvious, weak, and overhashed themes to be expected from Scorsese. A large swath of moviegoers will leave this film thinking Belfort is a hero, having got away with only 3 years in prison. Hill, Chandler, and McConaughey help buoy Leo's solid performance, but most of the gags fall flat and are ultimately insignificant.

Stylish, dark comedy with cameos by Joanna Lumley AND Fran Lebowitz... genius. Three hours without a slow moment.

It certainly went by quick for such a long movie. A fast pace from the very start, albeit it could be shorter without anything essential being lost. Being based on a true story, it so classically is lacking some of that text book story arc; I was never quite sure how far along it was. Nevertheless, it's great. Leo is as always impressive and McC, though shortly in it, left the most lasting impression on me. I'm not getting Hill's Oscar nomination, though. Oh, and the lemmon scene was hilarious.

Well, I expected way more. The Wolf is a very funny movie (Jonah Hill is absolutely hilarious) and obviously Scorsese is not going to make a movie that lacks in style.

It's no surprise that DiCaprio's acting and Scorsese's dynamic directing are the standouts of the film, helping to nullify the various moments of sloppy editing, relatively shallow plot, and the lukewarm acting from some of the other actors. Thanks to Leo, the many monologues of Belfort are kept tolerable. But above all, it's the aggressive injection of comedy which is the best and most surprising element, distinguishing the film from other white collar crime sagas and from Goodfellas/Casino.

Scorsese continues his career long exploration of lives of excess, here with a study of the excesses of wealth. Film is supremely entertaining with a string of standout sequences, ranging from pure drama to black comedy, and is hard to fault to any great degree. DiCaprio gives a career best performance, devouring every scene and filling out the Belfort character beyond mere one-note bravado. A little more effort to characterise the 'boy scout' FBI agent antagonist could have been enlightening.

An entertaining film for sure, this man's life story was bound to be, and the directorial panache Scorsese has honed over his career only adds to it. It's slickly made, well-paced, and there's always some crazy new twist or turn which keeps it from stagnating. That said, the film does end up feeling similar to things like Goodfellas, The Aviator, Catch Me If You Can, these larger-than-life biopics that people like DiCaprio and Scorsese seem to be fixated with. Good but hardly stand-out.

Ok, this is a great rush of a film, but lets cut to the chase, the story is NOT worth its run time! We have a guy who has the ability and a penchant for making money, even if its illegal. He gets mega rich, mega laid, mega high and falls foul of the feds. Goes to prison. The end. If he didn't get mega laid and mega high, this film would be as dull as ditch water. Surely the interesting part of Belforts life is his subsequent rehabilitation? Perhaps there is a more interesting pt2 in the making.

This film is total decadence in story, editing, music, style, character and time. Because of its unrelenting abundance, I can't imagine I got an accurate sense of it one sitting. This is one I'll need to experience at least a few more times before I develop a thoughtful opinion.

An indulgent, grandiose bacchanal of the highest order; three hours of darkly comic expose of horrible, horrible men and their horrible, horrible schemes. Scorsese flits between genres, perspectives, locations, moods and even aspect ratios, keeping us utterly glued to the screen for those hundred-and-eighty unhinger minutes. It is glorious, and DiCaprio gives a career-highlight performance as Jordan Belfort, the narcissistic and debauched head honcho.

I bow to this cast and crew ambitious enough to tackle this Wolf with a large appetite. DiCaprio's Jordan Belfort is a god-complexed egomaniac who personifies the ambitious American dream, in all of its excess and cut throat climb to the top. Scorsese sought extremes - loudly glamorizing greed, pride and animalistic vulgarity through this fantastic script and cast. Wolf is about the true capitalist's American dream, the insatiable hunger for power, and the casualties laid out by its addiction.

A good movie and it has alot of what everyone liked about Scorcese but it kind of lacks the depth of the movies it's most similar to and feels a little long.

Definitely does not feel like a 3 hour movie. I have a bit trouble believing everything was that much f*cked up, but than again, you don't question Scorsese's adaptations right? Excellent divorce scene that gave me the chills. I could have wanted more powerful scenes like that. Powerhouse performances by DiCaprio and Hill. And seriously, WHY have I not heard of Robbie before!? I still liked Goodfellas and The Departed better. This movie juggled between too many genres. - Very Good.

Filled with the kind of raucous energy that one doesn't find in many movies nowadays.

Movie of the year. Makes American Hustle look like a middle school play; performances are all fantastic but every other element shines as well. Three hours long and I was still hoping for more when it ended. And it's odd that we're going to see Jonah Hill win an Academy Award but goddamn is it deserved.

From the very beginning it's obvious Martin Scorcese is only interested in recapturing the feel of some his earlier movies with no regard to the material at hand. I don't know how much of the fault lies with the book, but the result is a bunch of bullshit stories in a confused thematic mix of Beethoven movies and American Pie movies.

A hilarious and frequently entertaining study in unchecked hedonism and greed under the assured guiding hand of Scorsese and boasting a wildly dynamic performance from DiCaprio. But the initial euphoria of witnessing such crazed debauchery gradually wears off as it goes on and on and the film ends up a little too one-note to justify its 3-hour running time.

Scorsese proving he's still got it and Jonah Hill portrays one of the more terrifying characters I've seen in recent years.

I was quite looking forward to this movie, but I gotta agree with some of the reviewers. Indeed, the movie is entertaining, but on the other hand it's completely non-judgemental of the punks that are the main characters. I also think it could be way shorter! Despite making me hate his guts, I do believe Leo didn't make such a crazy performance and that he should shift more to other, non-douchebaggy roles. Still, a solid, if overhyped, moving picture.

I was pleased to find that The Wolf of Wall Street had enough in its performances and script to make those three hours really not seem like three hours. However, that sustainability, that consistency over time is a double edged sword because the time lapse and an unfocused direction prevent the film from delivering anything but funny lines. No guts, no emotion, nothing to make me cry or cheer. But fuck! Leonardo is so insanely entertaining to watch. Nice use of late 80s and early 90s hits.

Although Jordan (DiCaprio) is a pretty weak and not a very engaging protagonist (which in retrospect, I totally think Scorsese intended), DiCaprio is ridiculously hilarious. The running time dedicated to the gratuitous excess definitely comes off as glorifying Jordan and Wall Street's behavior and dog eat dog mindset; however, the ending is pretty bitter (for this viewer and the REAL protagonist, anyway) and induces some righteous anger.

Way more of a comedy than I expected, very good movie. Going in I expected more of a dark dramedy- I think the result is much better. The movie is long, but the good news is that the pace is not lacking- you never really feel the length.

Maybe not as iconic as Goodfellas but every bit as enthralling.

Hedonism never gets old even if the story behind it has been told a million times. The dynamic duo does it again.

Extremely funny and well-made. It doesn't really talk about anything that hasn't been talked about before but the WAY it chooses to express those themes is inventive and original (at least to my knowledge). I could watch DiCaprio dance for hours.
