now there is a nice opinion, leo is a gay man. and i dont like any of the movies he is in, so i cant say he is a good or bad actor. the only reason he is famous is becuase of titanic and i dont watch chick flicks so i never bothered to waste money on the film. plus when my mom renteded it i watched like 1 hour and left becuase i was dead board. i have had better times running into walls.

First of all, i am going to ask you not to use ''gay'' as an insult, its very rude!

You obviously havent seen any of his films to say that, Leonardo was famous way before Titanic seening how he was nominated for an oscar for 'Whats Eating Gilbert Grape'' roll eyes (sarcastic) which came out 4 years before Titanic, just because you didnt know of him before it, doesnt mean he wasnt famous before it.
Also, Marvin's Room, Basketball Diaries, Catch me if you can....etc.etc...anyway, we should get back to the aviator, there is a Leo DiCaprio thread in ''Movie Stars and Celebrities'' forum.



About aviator....

Im hoping a lot from this film, mostly because its been directed by Martin Scorsese, who direced Goodfelas, Taxi Driver, Casino....etc. big grin also cast seems great too.

Scorcese directing was the only thing that I liked when I saw the trailer.

Also, Leo's break out movie was Titanic when it comes to the average movie watcher so I'd say that it was the movie that made him famous although he had done other things before it.

I am a fan of Martin Scorsese and Leonardo Decaprio

The movie was done well the performances were all great Cate Blanchett as Katharine Hepburn stole each scene she was in, and Leo was solid as usual. I was also happy to see John C. Riley because he gave a strong support role as he does every time.

The movie is long right around 3 hours i believe and at times you think about how long it is.. which is a problem. A movie like this needs to keep you in to it at all times if you start getting bored at all you lose interest in the story. Overall it was a very good movie, however it may not be the most interesting thing for everyone and it can be a bit boring at times.. and I was not a fan of the ending it ends very abruptly with no added information about the rest of Hughes life which I would have liked to see..

comingsoon gave it a 9/10
heres their critique:
Critique:
Howard Hughes was one of the world's most intriguing people. He lived a life filled with the glamor of Hollywood, industrial achievements, and madness. Director Martin Scorsese paints a fantastic picture of Hughes, and Leonardo DiCaprio brings that picture to life. While DiCaprio does not have the commanding physical stature that Hughes had, he does have the same raw presence. Leonardo anchors the movie solidly, whether he is the dashing Hollywood playboy Hughes or the reclusive unwashed paranoid Hughes. The roll requires a lot from DiCaprio, and he delivers it.

What gives DiCaprio the freedom to range through the different personalities is the star-filled supporting cast. Alan Alda (Sen. Ralph Owen Brewster) and Alec Baldwin (Juan Trippe) are solid rivals to Hughes' corporate endeavors. However, only Cate Blanchett's Katharine Hepburn is able to steal the screen from DiCaprio. Blanchett plays Hepburn as larger than life and comes across great on screen.

Hughes' life was filled with excess, he was a perfectionist that never did anything halfway. Scorsese is living up to that legacy with special effects that match the high level of the solid acting. From the dramatic air combat for Hughes' movie "Hell's Angels" to the period sets and costuming for the various Hollywood hot spots, the Aviator looks spectacular. The score is by Academy Award winning composer Howard Shore is rich and engrossing, but never overriding the dialog.

The one main drawback to the film is that it ends too soon. Even after three hours on screen, only the first half of Hughes' adult life has been covered and, as hard as it is to believe, the second half of his life is even more interesting and bizarre than the first half. There are few movies that make the viewer want more after three hours, and this is one of them. The ending itself is abrupt and a bit unexpected, but many things in Hughes' life were like that so the choice seems logical, if not entirely satisfying.

Who should see this movie? Leonardo DiCaprio fans will be treated to some of his best acting. He is not a pretty boy through most of the movie, but he is captivating. People interested in Hollywood in the thirties, the start of mass aviation, or Howard Hughes will enjoy seeing this take on it. There is action and romance to spare, but if you are looking for a comedy there is very little of that here. The Aviator is a solid movie whose only failing is that it covers a subject that can not be told in a single movie, making it a very enjoyable film to watch overall.
Bravo (Hands Clapping) Thanks I really want to thank you for taking the time to write that review.
